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

Here’s a little preview of some of the pieces for the coming Fall/ Winter 2023 Collection 🤗 There’s the Wrap Coat, constructed out of a square of water-repellent technical cotton, the Slant Denim Jacket made from a selected vintage piece with an insert of technical cotton, turning it into a double-breasted Denim Jacket, the Duvet Bomber, the Sparkle Jacket 💫 the Capucine Jacket, (a Baseball Jacket with tulip sleeves in pink faille), the Magic Dress (cut from a square shape of knife pleats flowing around the body) the Fleur Top (a new, more dramatic version of our Couture T-Shirts with rounded sleeves in Taffetas) , the Scar Denim Jacket with its rounded hourglass shape cut into an oversized Denim Jacket, and finally the Silver Band Denim Pants, printed with a band of metallic silver foil at the front 😎 .. any early favourites?

When the world suddenly seemed to stand still during those first days of lockdown and I had nothing to do apart from re-arranging my office and staring at an empty collection board I kept wondering how to continue working.. so I finally came up with just going back to the absolute basics, to design a T-shirt for everyone.

The only way to do this was to show how to make one yourself, without any prior knowledge of sewing … More

People have always asked when we would start a Men’s Collection, and it’s been on the cards for long time .. As long as we exist guys have bought pieces of the women’s collection and I have always loved a men’s jacket or shirt worn by a woman. During lockdown I started trying on the more couture-influenced pieces of the collection and, instead of it looking forced or strange it seemed to me just a different way of looking at masculinity. The next season I started adding a few unisex pieces , and I put some guys in some of the more dramatic styles , always mixing with denim or army, or simple Tshirts . Here’s a collection of past men’s looks , including the Bombers and Denim that have become Signatures. What do you think? Would you wear pink ? 😈

After finishing the Pre-Collection for Delpozo there was about one and a half months left to make the Main Collection for FW 2019.. so we decided to make this as a ‘Studio Collection’, without a Fashion Show and without using my name officially. It gave me the possibility to get to know the team, the atelier, put down some bases, and also present my vision of Delpozo to the House : Combining the beautiful dream-like quality that Josep Font had created with a certain sense of everyday life- a dream steeped in reality so to say 🤗So here are a few looks from this ‘ in-between’ collection..Getting this finished in such a short time would never have been possible without the help of the wonderful and enthusiastic and incredibly talented team in both the studio and the atelier ! If this collection worked out it’s because of all of these amazing people ❤️And a special Thank you to Pepe Lobez for the beautiful photos, and the most wonderful and lovely Luz Sanchez Godin whose mother Violeta Sanchez had modeled for Jesus Del Pozo in the 80s .. and whose beauty here still makes my heart flutter.

How to launch a Fashion House without a penny to your name: 1.Assemble all the courage you have and even the courage you never knew you had ..2.Leave your flat and move in with your boyfriend, then use the money to rent a room somewhere behind the Gare du Nord which doubles as both office and to stock your stuff ( mainly books, magazines and vintage clothes) 3.Spend a year working on a first collection, deciding that you will just follow your instincts and do what you like: Street- and Sportswear as Fashion, elevated by taking it out of context, re-inventing, re-making, re-assembling. 4.Start working as a freelance designer in Italy, with the money finance a first show at a friend’s studio space and hope that people will turn up …5.When they do have a moment of sheer panic , then scramble together a linesheet with prices, clean up the studio as best you can and start answering the phone. 6.Sell to 14 stores, amongst them some of the most famous in the world without knowing how to produce a single piece ..7.Pack the collection into a suitcase , take the night train to Italy and criss-cross the country with your suitcase and a terrible german accent in search of a factory that believes in what you are doing .. and this being Italy you find one !😎 .. Bingo! A Fashion House named LUTZ is born ! 🤗 ..oh and win the @andamfashionaward and the sky is the limit 😎 and here’s a little advice : If you believe in what you are doing then NEVER GIVE UP ! ❤️💪
