Lutz Huelle S/S 2025 Paris

It’s cute for Lutz, but bit of a step back from last season. Too much poplin and denim and not enough colour. The touches of gold are nice, but the bandeaus are not the right choice. They’re so hodge podgy and ill fitting.
 
oh man, I love lutz, but there are a couple of things off here.
The styling is a persistent issue, but now also couple with uninteresting make up and hair.
I also find the fabrication and detailing of the garments off and a bit simplistic. It feels unelevated, even though these democratic fabrics might be his thing. I wish he'd cut down on looks, focus more on developing what is good, deeper. I also find the horizontal pleating on the last looks very superfluous, like why is it there? what volume is it creating? what is it solving?
usually his stuff looks really desirable in stores, so lets hope that happens here also. Im always rooting for this guy and buy his stuff, but this presentation could have been sharper and more elevated.

I wish he got more support!

Thank god for that, I don’t like his cheerful palette lol..

I wouldn’t ask him to give up something that clearly makes him happy such as his experiments with denim but, I just pretend I never saw that at this point! he should put it on hold for a bit now that the trashy labels are going to town with their ‘oMg rEcYclEd dEnIm!’ experiments. Other than that, I like that this is sleeker, less baggy, and give me several pairs of these black trousers, now that’s something there’s never enough of and could use an experiment or two!
 
One thing I do like about this and Lutz is the lightheartedness. I notice for example most of the recent content Galliano makes for couture is horror related. And while I do love horror, I kind of wonder, and not targeting him specifically, why so many creatives aim to evoke the “negative” emotions in their work. Yes it can be cathartic I guess but there is both the yin and yang to catharsis. Art does not have to solely be about drama and pain. It is kind of refreshing to see someone exploring in the opposite direction.

High levels of testosterone (male-dominated area in the field) and effects on a pituitary gland they’ve never bothered to get checked. It pushes people into stuff like horror and other forms of inspiration/entertainment based on aggression.

.. and then they wonder why it doesn’t sych well with female consumers lol.

True, his choices in colours are rarely the most desirable. They’re very IKEA in a way, and I wish he had a good colourist working alongside him.

The pants are great! He knows his way around legs and also shoulders. They really are imbued with that classic Margiela spirit.
 
I think this is absolutely delightful - Amongst the many independent designers who closed their businesses' during Covid, he understood this was his moment and delivered something strong, repeatedly, that holds the torch up for a design that is both conceptual and desirable to equal amounts, refining his thing in an unhurried pace.

This is the kind of assurance the industry needs and I hope it pays off for him. He deserves it thoroughly. ❤️
 
Next to the exquisite Celine offering, this is a fav. ...And restores a little faith that Paris isn’t a complete dumpster after all (… until Jacquemus shows up of course….)

It’s a masterclass of DIY talent. Spontaneous, intuitive, inventive, playful and still flattering to a woman’s form. There are absolutely strong whiffs of OG Margiela— Gaultier’s Margie, to be exact: The off-the-shoulder block of a blazer; the bespoke pinstripes that end with lace hems; the cheongsam drop and fit of a trenchdress; the top half of a gown worn as a vest/corset over a white shirt; the troupe-l’oeil of an embroidery print… Charming, clever, creative extensions of Gaultier/Margiela concepts rather than ripoffs.

Rather nfortunate for the hideous color-palette; that runny, watery brown, that mint green is too much of a reminder of some discount Neapolitan ice cream. The canary yellow is gorgeous tho.
 
I love Lutz so I have a biais…
However, once looks 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 25, 26 and 31 are removed, it’s pure perfection.
 
It's a decent offering but there is something about it that feels so Lidl
