Tillmann Lauterbach

For this season, German-born designer Tillmann Lauterbach decided to show both his collection and the inspiration behind it. That’s the luxury of having a static presentation, rather than a fast paced catwalk show. Not that everything was standing still, models gracefully moved from room to room, wearing over sized tee-shirts and gray jeans. Most tops and bottoms came long in the body, and in gray or black shades. A double-breasted jacket came with a strong belt to keep the slim silhouette. A smarter element came with formal trousers and a see-through shirt. Overall it was a great collection with a moody attitude but positive clothing. Tillmann Lauterbach often gets inspired by subjects quite far away from fashion. For this collection, he looked at the fragility and strength of plants and nature in general. "You can break a flower and it dies but the stem is always there and it will re-blossom, so it’s a nice contradiction", dixit. For the presentation, he used junk from the civilisation but it looks like flowers and other organic creatures. At the same time there are lots of real plants in the presentation that looked almost synthetic.
