So .. S/S 22 is almost ready- but as we’re not presenting officially until @parisfashionweek in September I’m not really supposed to show anything yet- we had decided , after last years complete re-set and #rewiringfashion that we will only present 1 Collection per season, to be sold in June ( and therefore delivered very early) but to be presented to the press in September. This allows me to add a few things that might then end up as the beginning of the following season 👻anyway.. I thought I could just post something as the proverbial teaser and this shirt is a perfect way to show what the collection is about 😊 It’s called ‘La Nuit’ 🌚 .. as in joy, as in having fun, as in exuberant, as in sexy 🤗🔥.. and the way bits and pieces from cocktail dresses or party dresses end up on day pieces .. so here’s an extract of an embroidered cocktail dress that ended up on a checked shirt dress 😎 .. and if you like it watch out, there’s more to come in september! This collection was such a joy to design.. just being able to work again and do stuff☺️😎 I hope the joy comes across in the collection 🤩… incidentally I had my second shot yesterday so feel slightly weird today but it’s so effing worth it ! Happy Sunday to all .. oh and if you would like to see the collection contact the lovely @melagence or @hiro_921 or our very own @davidballu .. or pm us 😻 #ss22 #lutzhuelle #shirtdress #lanuit #ilovethenightlife #iliketoboogie oh and thank you @tuomas_laitinen for good advice ❤️
The initial idea behind this collection was to make clothes that were for and about the people I knew and spent my life with – real clothes for everyday life that were also complex and multifaceted. I wanted to work with the ease of sportswear, to use the sense of strength of masculine tailoring, the sophistication of evening and the raw energy and sex of the street , all mixed up in a way that would make these pieces seem familiar and new at the same time. I didn’t want people to look fashionable or trendy but unique and special and in a way ‘unreadable’- because they were wearing ‘unreadable’ clothes . Tailoring in Sweatshirt Jersey, towels as evening dresses, Boxing Pants in Pinstripe Wool and Trackpants in a fluid wool with a tuxedo stripe down the side. Long flowing Fringes on a men’s tailored Blazer, a draped trench that turns into a dress, and my beloved Bomber/Flight Jacket as a pleated evening dress. Thinking about a label to put into these clothes I came across an old “Starter” Baseball Jacket , with an embroidery of the S and a star intertwined , which gave me the idea of just using the word “Lutz”, not necessarily a sophisticated name but sounding more abstract, a word that meant nothing. I pulled the 4 letters together to embroider them like the S and the Star, and thought the result perfect: a hint of sportswear, a strange shape that could mean anyting, visually intriguing in its awkwardness. The Logo has evolved slightly to make it more readable, and the clothes now carry the LUTZ HUELLE name, but for me it still conveys so well what these clothes are about ..
