If you thought September was the only month to host spring/summer showcases, and that New York, London, Milan and Paris were the four cities to dictate the season’s biggest trends, you may just be neglecting what is fast-becoming one of the most highly-regarded fashion weeks in the industry.
Having just closed its SS22 showcase, it fell to Scandi fashion stalwart Copenhagen to be the first to showcase its vision for next season. And if this last week of catwalks is anything to go by, we’re already Googling ways to fast-forward the next few months, skip winter and wake up to these mega trends.
And while we may all be familiar with the likes of Dior, Saint Laurent and Chanel showing in Paris, Marc Jacobs and The Row in New York, Victoria Beckham and Burberry in London, and Prada and Miu Miu in Milan, Copenhagen Fashion Week is by no means lacking in well-known and much-loved fashion brands.
From Ganni and Rotate to Baum Und Pferdgarten, Remain, Saks Potts and By Malene Birger, this showcase is a serious seasonal highlight for both fashion fans, buyers and editors alike thanks to its contemporary designers who prioritise elevated wearables. It’s not about the statement-making showstoppers, but rather the collections of beautiful staples with unexpected design accents that would add a high-fashion twist to just about any wardrobe.
Of course, as is always the case at CPHFW, it wasn’t just the runways that served up some seriously epic sartorial inspo. With a guestlist including the likes of Emili Sindlev, Jeanette Madsen, Pernille Teisbaek, Thora Valdimars, Nnenna, Hanna Stefansson, Chrystelle Eriksberger and Anna Winck, the Scandi street style set has made a name for itself as one of the most creative crowds to flock to a fashion week anywhere in the world.
But what trends reigned supreme on the runway at Copenhagen for next season?
