I had an avalanche of messages the next day, mainly screaming at me being sandwiched between Stella and the First…
5 YEARS of LUTZ đ€© .. including the Oversleeve Coats and Spiralpleat Dresses, the Capebomber, Starbombers and Dartsbomber .. difficult to pinpoint favourites.. but every single piece here has its own story â€ïžâđ„
I saw you .. walking in the Rain.. Fall/Winter 2012/13 Watching people covering themselves against the rain during a sudden downpour made me think of oversized hoods, crinkled coated cottons and other shiny surfaces. It was the first season of the coats with draped, generous front panels wrapping around the body, like pulling a coat closer in a sudden burst of rain .. there was also the draped, hooded Biker Jacket that became a staple in the collection for years afterwards. My favourite look was the shortsleeved biker jacket in wool worn over a superhighwaisted pant and caramel gloves â€ïžâđ„
..the thing with inspiration is that itâs never foreseeable nor can it be planned. Iâve spent hours staring at a white page waiting in vain for the sparks to fly, only to be waking up at three in the morning with my brain on fire đThis collection, Spring/ Summer 2014, happened while sitting in a cab going to work in Italy. I had arrived in the morning and stepped out of the plane into gorgeous sunshine, and for a second I had an incredible urge to tell the driver to go past the factory and straight to the next beach⊠so this collection became about spending the day at the beach still dressed for work- a collection in black bleached out by the sun. Tie-dye, fading prints, stripes, bleached knits and wet- look wool and denim, as if having rushed into the sea with your suit still on. Dresses and tops were draped like towels slung over the shoulders or tied around the waist. My favourite look was a bleached biker jacket, partly draped, worn over a pair of oversized denim pants bleached out towards the upper part.
â.. I am aware of the history of fashion. But for me itâs not really an inspiring force because itâs in the past. I honestly donât care about the past. I donât want to look back, just forward. Fashion is seeing what we will do tomorrow. Yesterday has already passed. For example, I love Cardin⊠but this does not mean that Iâd make a collection inspired by Cardin. I prefer to look forward because life is ahead.â About 3 years ago I spoke to Domenico Constantini about Almodovar, Italian music and other stuff for Collectible Dry Magazine
