Bucking trends, Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos went all-out for Resort, showing their first ever full collection (i.e., not just the knits they re known for). This is a big step for a small brand, and it was executed with confidence and clarity. Now the customer who falls for a cashmere cardigan with chain details at the neckline, a featherweight pullover, or a cashmere robe coat with overlock detailing won t have to search elsewhere for just the right legging (Lutz Patmos are thick and tailored), skirt, or harem pant. Also new this season was the mixing of wovens and knits—done especially well on a silk-front tank. The duo even threw in some accessories, including finely woven scarves and beaded collars and belts.
Lutz Patmos latest guest collaboration—with the model Natalia Vodianova—resulted in an unexpectedly creative garment: a long tube dress that converts into a short funnel-necked number. Fifty dollars of the purchase of this design will be donated to Vodianova s Naked Heart Foundation. Looks like Lutz Patmos is thinking big all around.
