London: Canadian-British designer Edeline Lee presented her latest spring-summer 2025 collection at London Fashion Week (LFW) on Monday with a loyal customer in attendance -- Victoria Starmer, the wife of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The label with the fitting tagline "Clothing for the Future Lady", has dressed some of Britain's most powerful women, including Catherine, Princess of Wales and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner.
Last year, Victoria Starmer, who generally keeps a low profile and has been praised for her style, wore a red belted dress by the designer for the Labour party conference -- one of her few political appearances.
Variations of the same outfit were on display in the new collection -- belted jacquard dresses with flutter sleeves in cornflower, yellow, coral pink and emerald green.
At the brand's first-ever LFW catwalk show, Lee presented tailored midi and maxi dresses, flowing pantsuits and sequinned gowns intended to make the wearer feel "polished, ready and powerful".
