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

“Lutz Huelle nailed his one-off collection for AZ Factory as its latest guest “amigo,” perfectly capturing the offhand couture look pioneered by its late founder Alber Elbaz. Huelle, who has been showing his signature brand in Paris since 2000, brought a wealth of experience and skill to the project, seen in the smooth cut of blurred floral raincoats and dusters, the ultra-cool, dressy-looking jeans, and the sharp tuxedo tailoring that opened the display. He has a knack for giving approachable clothes and accessories visual oomph: Denim shirts and jackets came zhuzhed up with panels of sequins; T-shirts and jeans were fronted with big crystals, and shirts were cut large to catch the wind in the back, like parachutes.” Miles Socha on AZ Factory with Lutz Huelle on WWD

“I think we are all looking for something that’s simple and is touching and emotional without trying so hard, muses Huelle. His hybrids, like Elbaz’s exposed zippers and seams, speak to the joy of making and improvising, and in so doing seem to acknowledge that life, and creation, can be glorious in their messiness. “In the end, it’s just about the clothes, and I think that was always also Alber’s way of seeing things,” the designer notes. Of course these clothes play out in the theater of life as well as the theatre de la mode. Huelle’s focus on clothes is based on a belief in his chosen field. The “incredible thing about fashion,” he enthuses, is “it’s so multifaceted and so complicated and so extreme in many ways because it’s literally about everything. It’s about our lives.” Lutz talks to Laird Borrelli-Persson about AZ Factory on VOGUE RUNWAY

“Huelle, a German who lives in Paris, is one of the most interesting indie designers in fashion, famous in a strange way for having his best ideas copied by many lesser talents. With this collection, it was about him respecting, and yet extending, the DNA of a house founded by the late great Alber Elbaz, a creator of clear and powerful codes.Thankfully, the result was a balanced cocktail of Huelle’s street style, delicacy with denim and sense of rock n roll, married to the hipster grand couture of Elbaz, blended with the one virtual show Alber created for AZ Factory.” Godfrey Deeny on AZ Factory with Lutz Huelle on FASHION NETWORK
