Denim is democratic and widely worn by everyone, regardless of age or gender or shape and this is why it is one of my absolute favourite things. Here’s a little selection of some of our past styles, each one made from a selected vintage piece and sold only in our online store and in selected boutiques worldwide. Every piece is unique, and they’re produced in very small quantities in our Atelier in the Rue du Temple in Paris 3. For me these are Collector’s items, to be cherished and worn forever.

2 days before the presentation of the Fall/ Winter 2016 Collection I decided to add a Bomber Jacket to the looks.. I had an idea of making a ‘double- breasted’ Bomber, inspired by a jacket used for fencing. To try out the idea I took my old Alpha Industries Bomber and cut out the front panel, replacing it with a piece of beige wool I had left over. I liked it so much that I decided to just put it into the show as it was , making versions in blue ( with red wool) and black . I also added a coat version. After the show every single store wanted to order these, so we started selling them without having any idea how to produce, seeing as it was made with an original Bomber jacket from Alpha Industries. I had no other choice but to call them and tell them what I had been doing, it turned out they had seen photos and wondered what this was all about- and a collaboration was born. I have since made a new version with the Bomber every season , but that first one, called the LUTZ BOMBER, is still so special to me.

Every look of ‘F is for Friendship’ – AZ FACTORY with Lutz Huelle Spring/Summer 2023

I’ve always loved the idea of clothes as beautiful, timeless objects, to wear and collect and cherish for ever, and all our collections have been designed with this in mind – the diagonal opposite of ‘Fast Fashion’. Here are looks and ideas from the last 10 Collections, mixed and matched together: The Shawlbomber and Spiral Pleats, the Oversleeve Coat and the Dartsbomber.. so many pieces that have since become our classics and that I keep in the collection.. what are your personal favourites?

Every look of LUTZ HUELLE Spring/Summer 2023 “Why do some garments go from being worn a few times during a season to becoming cherished parts of our everyday wardrobe, a part of that privileged group of pieces in constant rotation that will work wherever and whenever? It is never clear during the process of designing a collection what will eventually strike a cord with people, and more often than not a piece the I love will then be more or less ignored once out in the world. What makes a piece timeless? What strange and unforeseeable chemical reaction turns a design into a ‘Signature’, into something that will strike a chord beyond a show or a season? 

This Collection is a concentrate of favourite ideas: re-invented, re-viewed, taken further.  A pink top in taffetas is worn over … More

AZ Factory x Lutz Huelle SS23 ANDREAS MURKUDIS Berlin ‘F is for Friendship’

Thank you to the fabulous teams at Andreas Murkudis in Berlin and AZ FACTORY in Paris for making this possible.

“Other independent designers are struggling in this difficult economy, but Huelle reports his business has been heating up. That’s another reason to pay attention to him. As viral fashion comes into question and runway stunts start to feel passé, he’s a founding member of the slow-burn school of fashion.” Nicole Phelps on Lutz Huelle F/W 2023 on VOGUE RUNWAY

Elsa Schiaparelli et Salvador Dalí, Rei Kawakubo et Cindy Sherman, ou plus récemment Raf Simons et Sterling Ruby ainsi que Kim Jones et Daniel Arsham… Les relations – voire amitiés au long cours – entre créateurs de mode et artistes ne sont pas nouvelles. Mais si leur résultat s’est souvent traduit par la simple intégration d’œuvres d’art sur les défilés ou sur les vêtements eux-mêmes, il reste  rare que des pièces de mode s’invitent dans les expositions d’art contemporain. Comme si l’espace du white cube restait hermétique au travail des designers, assigné aux musées dédiés à la mode et aux arts décoratifs. Si quelques personnalités déjà ont tenté de briser ce plafond de verre, à l’instar du créateur et artiste Martin Margiela ou de la créatrice iconoclaste Vava Dudu, la Fondation Pernod Ricard a décidé de leur emboîter le pas. Jusqu’au 28 janvier 2023, l’institution parisienne réunit dans une exposition le travail de trois amis : la plasticienne Alexandra Bircken, le créateur de mode Lutz Huelle et le photographe Wolfgang Tillmans, qui y fait une discrète mais pertinente contribution. Car au-delà de leurs différences de profession et de médiums, ces trois Allemands quinquagénaires partagent depuis leur rencontre dans les années 70 de grandes affinités et aspirations.” Matthieu Jacquet in conversation with Alexandra Bircken and Lutz Huelle on NUMERO.COM
