Designer Profile
LUTZ HUELLE
After completing his Fashion Degree at London's Central St Martin's and a three-year stint as designer working with Martin Margiela on his Artisanal and Knitwear Collections, Lutz launched his eponymous label with David Ballu.
A twice winner of the ANDAM Award, the biggest Fashion Prize in France, and the Ackermann Pret-a-Porter Prize at GWAND in Lucerne, Switzerland, Lutz 'approach has been described as "Decontextualization": taking things out of context, reinventing ways to wear a classic wardrobe, working on structure, volume and identity.
A trenchcoat is draped to turn into a dress, vice versa is worn in heavy cotton to be worn as a coat. Knits and sweatshirts turn into outerwear, and a towel becomes an eveningdress.
His way of mixing and matching different genres and types of clothing - Sportswear and Evening, Casual and Formal, Feminine, and Masculine, are all part of the fashion landscape.
Lutz has been a consultant at MaxMara Fashion Group since 2000, and is a Visiting Tutor on the Central St Martin's MA in London and the School of the Union Chamber in Paris.
