PURPLE #14 Fall 2002 Photos: Giasco Bertoli, Styling: Lutz Huelle (Part 1) “Italian Photographer Giasco Bertoli collaborated with German fashion designer Lutz Huelle for this series. Together they combined sports, military, and designer clothes to examine and define their version of casual style. These pictures are the result of their explorations. Turning away from dumbed-down american streetwear here are quasi militant, casually sportif, simply designed, intelligent, nostalgic,home-spun,radical chic- the contradiction of pricy and cheap, sophisticated and basic, styled like a political signal.”

LUTZ HUELLE No.17 F/W 2008 ‘THE UMBRELLAS’ Inspired by the shape of an opened umbrella, jackets, trenchs and coats are cut adding volume to the sides. Different shades of brilliant red and yellow are draped together to create a swirling effect on dresses. Chunky knits are taken in and draped at the shoulder.

‘In Velocità’ Gaia Grossi on Lutz in ACTIVA Magazine: ‘Le Creazioni di Lutz sono fatto di linee apparentemente semplici che nascono da taglie e progettazioni all’avantguardia. In equilibrio tra classico e contemporaneo, casual e sofisticato.’

LUTZ HUELLE NO.8 S/S 2004 ‘SPIRALING’ Still one of my favourite collections, this was based on twisting, knotting, spiraling fabric around the body. Inside and outside are worn visible at the same time, opening and showing parts of the body. This then made me think of other ways to ‘be naked while dressed’ : Replacing the shoulderline of Jackets with transparent straps, or cutting the shape of a tank top into a shirt. Huge oversized pants doubled as evening dresses. Trenchcoats and Shirts were remodeled as Bustiertops. This show earned us the famous page in ‘Libération’ the next day, with the Headline ‘LES BIMBOS AU PLACARD! (‘Bimbos are over!’).
