Lutz fall / winter 2001-02
No.3
tuxedo, sport, flowers
“This collection took the work I’d done in the first two: the sporty references, the Tuxedo, the high waists and low collars , the ‘taking something and doing it in the opposite way ‘ to its’ conclusion: A Tuxedo was mixed with a Flightjacket, a work-overall was cut with lapels in shiny silk; Tuxedo pants had drawstrings like jogging trousers. A big woolen scarf had waterproof silk panels attached to it to be worn as a cape or overskirt. It made everything I’d done before more clear , and apparently also more acceptable. People who, considering where I’d worked before, had expected dark and longish silhouettes and unfinished edges had at last accepted that this was not what I was about. This was also the first collection we sold, in a way that surprised even us.”
