Lueder Turns the Runway into a Mythical Dinner Party for SS26
Smashed wine glasses, medieval silhouettes, and wearable streetwear brought some serious energy to Lueder’s first London show.
Anticipation for Marie Lueder’s runway show was building steadily throughout Day 3 of London Fashion Week. The CSM grad typically shows at Berlin Fashion Week and hosts a presentation in London – but for SS26, Lueder delivered a full-on catwalk, and it did not disappoint.
A walkway filled the 180 Strand New Gen space, scattered with smashed red wine glasses, leading to a long dining table draped in a white cloth. This table became the runway, as models climbed on top and walked its length. Around them, a curated group of influencers sat as guests, turning the scene into a kind of fashion fever dream dinner party – in the best way possible.
In past seasons, Lueder’s design world has been rooted in deep lore – medieval silhouettes, folklore dress codes, and mythical references. This collection built on that narrative, taking clear inspiration from the carnival energy of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet. The influence of this was loud in the details, such as the curled-toe goblin shoes or hooded capelets.
But SS26 wasn’t just about the fantasy – the collection also marked a clear shift toward wearability. A long-sleeve black graphic tee with “unraveling” across the chest, paired with jeans and a buckle belt, made a strong case for grounded, street-ready styling. A slogan tank reading “Beats Are Back,” styled in a similar way, also felt like a clear message from the German designer that Lueder is tapping into a more wearable streetwear moment.
Other standout pieces included deconstructed football-inspired two piece looks, a swamp-green bomber jacket with an oversized collar, and double-layered dark denim jeans.
