15 Years of Ludus: The Pillars of "Permanent Black III"

In fashion, trends constantly shift, there’s something captivating about the consistency of certain visions and identities. The Macedonian brand Ludus, celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, stands out for its unwavering exploration of black as a concept, form, and expression. At the Ljubljana Fashion Week, Ludus unveiled its latest collection, "Permanent Black III," which is more than a collection—it is a manifesto of the timeless power of minimalism.

In this third iteration of the Permanent Black series, the brand revisits its most iconic designs, reimagining them through new proportions, structural innovations, and a sensual exploration of black textures. What Ludus does masterfully is harness fundamental design principles—genderless appeal, functionality, and refined simplicity—while consistently creating something that surprises.


Innovation in the Context of Tradition

What makes Permanent Black III so striking is its subtle dance between tradition and innovation. Instead of chasing fleeting trends, Ludus returns to its roots. But these "roots" are anything but stagnant—they are revitalized, fresh, like something emerging from a utopian vision of what clothing should be. The pieces in this collection radiate power without imposing it. They are carefully crafted to harmonize with the body and its movements.

This collection is not just about the individuals who wear it—it’s also about the community that supports the brand. From the creation of a monograph celebrating 15 years to the involvement of visual artists and fashion critics offering new interpretations, Ludus demonstrates that fashion can be a medium that connects cultures, generations, and ideas. Every piece is both a narrative and a statement—for those who don’t just want to wear clothing but want to live its message.

Fashion as Art and Concept


Permanent Black III is not merely a collection; it is a proposition for how fashion should look in the future. Without unnecessary embellishments, without kitschy additions, without the urge to follow trends—it is an example of bold creativity without compromise. Ludus treats fashion as art, not commodity, allowing aesthetics to speak for itself.

This collection is a triumphant display of the brand’s maturity. It reminds us that black is endlessly complex and that minimalism can be the greatest canvas for experimentation. With this milestone year, Ludus has shown that fashion is not only about appearance but also about depth, meaning, and the context it carries.

The world has much to learn from this Macedonian fashion marvel.




„Permanent Black III“ не е само колекција, туку предлог за тоа како модата треба да изгледа во иднината. Без непотребни украси, без кичести додатоци, без желба да се следи трендот – тоа е пример за смела креативност што не прави компромис. Лудус ја третира модата како уметност, а не како стока, оставајќи ја естетиката да зборува сама за себе.

Оваа колекција е триумфален приказ на зрелоста на брендот. Таа потсетува дека црната боја е бескрајно комплексна и дека минимализмот може да биде најголемото платно за експериментирање. Со оваа јубилејна година, Лудус успеа да покаже дека модата не е само за изгледот, туку и за длабочината, значењето и контекстот што ги носи.

Светот има што да научи од ова македонско модно чудо.
