LUEDER SS26
Marie Lueder’s work has long revolved around the construction of alternate realities, where myth, psychology, and fashion collide. For Spring/Summer 2026, she stepped fully into that instinct, presenting a show that read more like a costume drama than a runway. The cast moved through a medieval-inspired landscape filled with dragons, knights, and princesses, their clothing shaped by conflict, ritual, and protection. Ribbed knitwear was transformed into sculptural armour, distressed fabrics evoked the fatigue of battle, and hoods covered the faces of wandering villagers caught mid-passage. Every element pointed to a world in motion, caught between danger and fantasy.
