MARIE Lueder doesn’t design clothes so much as she designs worlds, and this season is centred around a feast.
Convivium, LUEDER’s Spring/ Summer 2026 show stages fashion as both carnival and ritual, where football terraces borders medieval pageantry: where sweat, spectacle, and community converge on a dance floor. It’s both chaotic and devotional, dystopian and euphoric.
Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet flickers through the collection like a rebellion softened by devotion. Silhouettes swing between sculptured and oversized, bikinis and drawstring outerwear, football jerseys reshaped through medieval shirring.
Strappy tops slouch, maxi dresses bloom and vintage kits are reborn. The colour palette is “muted doomsday Venice Beach” circling sunburnt asphalt, wine-stain red and rusty steal.
But LUEDER is never just about the clothes. The set (a dinner table set-up that has transformed into a runway) by Afra Zamara, styling by Tati Cotliar and the sound curated by Manuka Honey all come together to uphold the sense of gathering.
Collaborations abound, from Pull&Bear‘s global capsule to bespoke caps and chrome coins cast by Seòras Rae. Sustainability too, has a place at the table: ocean plastics reformed into nylon and deadstock t-shirts are given a new look.
While last season turned our heads at negative markers across the political landscape, what lingers here is the call of urgency: call a feast while we still can. Convivium moreover is also a celebration of queer sensuality, tender masculinity and the radical act of community. And at this table, everyone is welcome to eat.
