FALL 2024 READY-TO-WEAR

Is Lutz Huelle Pariss most underrated designer?

Seeing him back on the runway after a four-year gap, the thought came to mind.

The deconstructed vintage jeans Huelle rehabs into hybridized trousers were trending all over town this week.

Designers must know a good idea when they see one.

For a refresher, Huelle hails from the Martin Margiela school of fashion.

The show at the Cathedrale Americaine on the Avenue Georges V was intimate by Paris standards.

Huelles lifelong friend Wolfgang Tillmans was in the crowd, along with some of his regulars.

The return to the runway didnt mean a shakeup of Huelles formula; used Levis were still the foundation.

you could depend on Huelle for a statement coat or jacket.

Raincoats, meanwhile, were reconstructed with pleated panels that gave them the swishy feeling of a dress.

Smart money says invest in one now before the rest of Paris fashion catches onto this idea too.
