Lutz Huelle created and presented his spring-summer collection 2016, 2 of October in Paris. Lutz’s approach to fashion has been described as “recontextualisation”. Taking things out of context, mixing and matching, working on structure and identity. His creations are multifaceted, conceptual and personal. His pieces have been acquired and shown at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, FRAC, Musée Galliera, and at the Goethe Institute in Tokyo. Lutz Huelle combined the ease of sportswear with the complexity and creativity of a designer’s collection.

Designer explained collection in this way: ” I was thinking about easy, almost slouchy clothes that are also sculptural and dramatic, a sort of twisted, excentric simplicity. Zipped shoulders and sleeves on outerwear and elasticated seams that pull the volume of oversized coats and shirts. Nylon rib worn over shirts to act as corsets. Denim and pleated silk and mesh mixed together. Oversized sequins and shards of silver plexi, and sequins are embroidered on squares of organza and fixed as motifs on tops and dresses. Finally two of my favourite things from the past – the fringed men’s blazer and a parka worn as cocktail dress make a reappearance, somehow they felt right again, and because they make me happy.”
