Let's Talk About Lutz & Patmos
So we checked out the Lutz & Patmos fall collection at the New Museum's Sky Room last night. The sights were amazing - unobstructed views of the city, and Carine Roitfeld in the flesh. But the clothes... We felt the sweaters were cute and wearable. But... A show? For sweaters? One after the other like that? And all pretty plain? So we thought, "Oh! They must be super soft!" But at first touch, we knew, they were somewhere between wool and Banana Republic cashmere. Hmm... We're always fans of stuff to throw on to go to the movies on a cold, Monday night but not when it retails in the high hundreds of dollars. We don't think Kirsten Dunst having designed some of the pieces suddenly makes the collection so noteworthy - so what do you guys think? Adorable covers? Or over-hyped yarn? [On a side note, the presentation did include one interesting detail - the use of mannequins instead of models, something we've been wondering about since we had the awkward experience of touching the hem of a dress while the model stared back at us at a previous presentation...]
