The Copenhagen Fashion Week was opened with a dinner in the Nikolaj Art Gallery – a former church from the 13th century. This season it was not only the opening dinner, but also for several shows, panels and brand activations, including one of Instamax. This first night in the church gave the tone for the week in several ways. The main course consisted of pasta made of recessed bread, which was created with stale or remaining bread, an allusion to the engagement of the Council for Sustainability and a deeper symbol for the municipal act of bread. This feeling of togetherness continued through the shows and the show goods, which brought an energy that could be overlooked.
Each show attracted its own audience. In Sunflower, which was held in the courtyard of her offices, there was a burned -out car on a square platform, on the models wandered around. Outside, the crowd pushed so closely that it was almost impossible to see the clothes – which theoretically defeats the purpose of a fashion show. But here the draw was just as important to soak in the atmosphere as a pick -up fire brigade jacket or a sharply tailored, strong shoulder suit. In Marimekko, which was staged outdoors with only a thin rope, the amount was equally lively – phones and ready to catch every moment.
Copenhagen as a fashion week can feel like the strange child. It lands about four weeks before the marathon, which is a fashion month who starts with NYFW on September 11th – a little too early to define overarching topics. However, some appeared whether they carry out the rest of the season remains to be seen.
For me, the word trend does not quite summarize the week. Yes, there was recurring details, such as the shoe of the summer, flip-flops-flops-in cmmn swdn, deadwood and above all opera sports that not only looked regular Havaianas, but also 3D printed versions that looked like they were picked from another dimension.
In the broader sense, the week felt defined by brands that bend into what they can best do. Cecilie Bahnsen celebrated her 10th anniversary with a show in a plane hangar, in which models drifted the runway into white, cloud-like clothes, as if they were also about to take the flight. Nicklas Skovgaard continued his editorial run of silhouettes with 80s, who had the perfect balance between theater and wearable. These were pieces that they wanted to own – not because they were aligned with a trend, but because they looked irresistibly cool. Think of an airy, voluminous cecilie railway number, a lipstick-red skall coat or a fire brigade jacket from sunflowers.
Here, too, overarching trends were not easy to determine. Although a few big topics felt considerable and can dress in the course of the rest of the fashion month. Among the outstanding ones: Pyjamas, who are designed for the day, of chemise inspired dresses that go far beyond the landscape, and perhaps the most excitingly a modern reinterpretation of the 80s elements, which felt decisively innovative.
But the shopping moments were not limited to the runway. Outside the shows, the street style was just as much a feast for the eyes. A lot was written about the aesthetic Skandi girls and the ability of women to look both relaxed and bubbling, which Copenhagen demonstrated again. Styling touches like an orange to lighten a look or unexpected surfaces, as with a skull cap immediately appealing and accessible.
From the runway to the street I left the week inspired – and admittedly with a case of shopping. Before that, my breakdown of the TOP -FAHION -snap bars and a processing that is worth expanding your car to channel the best of Copenhagen.
On the runway and on the streets: flip-flops
The shoe of the summer doesn’t go anywhere. Flip flops brought to an increased look on the runway. On the streets they awarded the outfits of the show goods a non -balance – their effortless finish with slip dresses, linen pants and beyond.
On the streets: skull caps
What Balaclavas and blankets were for the winter, skull caps are for spring and summer. This compact accessory has achieved a major influence, daily at CPHFW and recorded an unmistakable cut.
On the runways: pastoral dresses
The designers leaned into loose chemical-style dresses, which resulted in a European sensitivity of the country (call the daily dream of hiking through a field of lilac). Less Tikok Milkmaid, more vintage cotton -nightgown, which you would stumble into a vintage shop. Delicate, nostalgic and surprisingly portable.
On the landingways: popliner PJs from Baumwoll
Designers gave Pyjama sets daily glabo by combining them with bomber jackets and structured outer clothing for a roadside. The key to pulling off? Hug the art of the right set or the coordinating cotton poplin, then with sporty coaches or elegant load sites to earth and prevent it from feeling too precious.
On the landingways: 80s-influenced designs
The 70s influence makes room for the excesses of the 80s. Fat, sometimes fighting prints, electrical colors and sculptural shoulder cushions dipped into fresh, portable takes on the landingways, which felt exciting again for the decades.
On the streets: Polka points
The playful pattern that dives the season after the season set off on the streets of Copenhagen, where the show goods hugged it for an additional dose of flair. From statement dresses to playful accessories, Polka Dots showed that they are still a favorite for anyone who wants to beat an outfit.
On the runways: fire brigade jacket
At first glance, this form of outer clothing in the last seasons is reminiscent of barn art jackets. But it is the characteristic closures that give the fire brigade jacket their unmistakable namesake attractiveness. Prepare for many iterations to start newcomers.
On the street: Orange Pops
Pops of Red have been the accent for a few seasons to inject an outfit. This time the focus was on orange. Whether a small detail – like a shoe to lighten a neutral appearance – or as a blouse to enliven an entire ensemble, this color trend added energy and liveliness to the street style of the week.
