Lutz & Patmos

NEW YORK, February 16, 2009
By Laird Borrelli-Persson
Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos not only carried their interest in seasonless knits from Spring to Fall, but hung on to their guest designer, Jane Birkin, too. "She's absolutely our dream muse of all time," Patmos said. The icon, who just released a new album, contributed an organic cashmere V-neck dress to a lineup that Lutz & Patmos wanted to be about ease—both calming to look at and inviting to touch. To that end the palette was muted—bone, gray, black, mocha, and mauve—and the shapes nothing if not familiar: peacoats, grandpa cardis, blazers, all refit with special details intended to make them "keepers." Inevitably, you don't look for news in this collection. "We want to offer well-designed pieces of good quality at a good price that are worth spending money on," Patmos explained.
