When I started making little films showing how to transform an old Tshirt into a new, sexy top on Instagram during lockdown I never expected the number of brilliant reactions and comments I got .. it became a way to keep on working, to share and communicate, to show that anything can be inspiring and we can make something out of not much at all, no special skills or means required. I did several ones, and here’s the last one , made for VOGUE Runway, organized by the very fabulous Steff Yotka.

“…but smart and chic it was. Epitomizing that mix of refinement and ease were tuxedo-inspired shapes that included a jacket with arms shorn off to become a vest; a shirt in blown-up proportions that turned into a crisp poplin dress, and another with its shoulders sliced off and replaced with a handsome blowsy ruffle. New here was the knitwear that furthered Huelle’s idea of a balance between sophistication and ease, turning a body-con minidress or spaghetti-strap top into more comfortable options. Along with witty touches like a sprinkling of foil on smartly tailored shorts and slacks or hearts printed on frayed denim until they looked like leopard spots, they were proof of what a dab hand at delightful clothes Huelle is.” Lily Templeton on AZ FACTORY with LUTZ HUELLE Resort 2024 on WWD

SPOT THE FASHION DESIGNER ! 😜 This seems like an eternity ago but remains such a brilliant memory… whatever can be said about the President, that evening, saying : “Welcome ! This is your home!” upon walking into the room really did move me to tears, because he did make me feel at home in Paris that evening.

I had an avalanche of messages the next day, mainly screaming at me being sandwiched between Stella and the First … More

I sometimes think about that day .. I’d met Karl before, as member of the jury at the Festival d’Hyeres.. we sat next to each other during the show, and chatted throughout. He was utterly charming and he made me laugh with his kinda dry sense of humour typical of people from Northern Germany.I was flattered when he invited me to the shoot organized by Nicole Picard for Madame Le Figaro- after all I was very much an independent and undergound-ish designer ( which is just a more romantic way of saying ‘under the radar’ ), but he told me he loved my work and that he wanted me to be part of this. He was slightly dubious about the fit of my Tshirt though, and pinched it together in the back with a clip for the photo 😎 .. It’s still such a brilliant memory for me, because he made me feel that I belonged there, with my strange mix of sportswear and couture that most of Paris really didn’t care too much about at the time. I’ll always be grateful to him , and I’m just so pleased I got to meet this extraordinary man. ❤️

I had an interesting conversation yesterday with someone about why I communicate about pieces that might not be available at this moment in time- designs from past collections, or pieces that are long sold out, the question implying, basically : “What is the point in making an effort in publicising anything if it’s not for sale? “

The answer, for me is manifold: I’ve never understood why Fashion is supposed to lose its value after 6 months, … More

‘We are all complex and complicated human beings and there are so many preconceived ideas of how we should be or what we should look like – It doesn’t do us justice. We’re not just one thing but a wealth of possibilities. and that, to me is such an amazing and exciting thing ! ´IL NUOVO MASCHILE ‘ Lutz Huelle speaks to Marco Cortesi for VESTITO MAGAZINE

Here are some of my own personal favourite looks of the last few Collections.. the Tulipjacket and the Bombercoat, the Dartsbomber and Oversleeve Coat, the Sparkle Vest and Cassia Top amongst others. All of these have become Signatures, and an integral part of my work.

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.
