Mademoiselle’s Fashion Week: Lack-Lutz-er for A/W 2009-2010
I tried to like this collection. I really tried. After all the show started really well with the best. Present. Ever. at a fashion show: a bottle of water to quench our fashionably parched throats after a day of running around.
But the Lutz A/W collection just didn’t sing to me in the way that others did. While we can all agree that black is the new black, I just didn’t see the point of this monochromatic -dare I say monotone?- collection.
The one flash of colour I did see was a rather strange green in a shade that I’d have identified as “lacrosse jersey green”, so reminiscent is it of the one I had in school.
I guess the poker-straight hair didn’t do it for me, which is ironic enough, considering how long and straight my own hair is. Most of the models looked as if they had had their hair ironed because nothing else could be done. It swung about as they walked, but not a floating romantic way, more in the way you’d imagine an iron curtain to swing about.
While I may seem overly negative about this collection, I did see some pieces that I quite liked, like this pleated dress that I didn’t really get a good look at but did elicit a little sparkle in my mind.
And who can say no to a healthy dose of sequins, although whether such a sparkly coat is a good idea remains to be seen.
I’d heard a lot of good things about Lutz but by the end of the show, I wasn’t impressed and definitely in a bit of a downer mood from the depressing feel of the pieces.
