Lueder made a striking debut at London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 with its ALBEDO collection, marking a bold return to its British roots under the British Fashion Council’s NEWGEN program. Fresh off a smoke-filled Berlin presentation just two months earlier, Lueder took to the runway with a theatrical edge that has become the brand's signature. This season, the label explored medieval art forms through light and radiation, partnering with French-British artist Thomas P. Grogan to infuse alchemical reactions into its fabric treatments, creating prints and patterns that felt both experimental and otherworldly.
The ALBEDO collection brought a medieval fantasy to life, with 30 looks that reimagined historical silhouettes through a futuristic lens. Models stumbled purposefully down the runway before transitioning into abstract dance, a move that mirrored the chaotic yet controlled energy of the collection. From swirling denim panels that looked battle-ready to deconstructed pinstriped shirting, Lueder dismantled traditional fabrics and pieced them back together in ways that felt almost armour-like. The collection’s eco-friendly ethos remained a cornerstone, with distressed leather hoods, coiling bomber jackets, and asymmetrical uniforms stained in gradient finishes, crafting a modern-day suit of armour.
In a new turn for the brand, Lueder introduced soft tailoring, offering strong-shouldered blazers and calf-length skirts reminiscent of historical dress, but updated for the modern warrior. It was a collection that blurred the lines between past and future, art and fashion, with Lueder firmly establishing itself as a rising star on the global fashion stage, ready to push the boundaries of contemporary design.
