18 Aug
Summary
- Copenhagen Fashion Week rivals major fashion capitals with burgeoning talent.
- Key trends from the recent show include loud leopard prints and bold sequins.
- Sustainability is paramount, with upcycling and recycling integral to collections.
Copenhagen Fashion Week has solidified its reputation, drawing global attention and challenging the 'Big Four' fashion weeks. The event celebrated a vibrant street style scene and highlighted emerging design talent, setting trends for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2027 season.
This season's runways featured a bold array of styles. 'Loud leopard' prints appeared on various garments, while sequins and glitter brought a maximalist, rave-inspired glamour. Gingham-maxxing offered playful layering options, and lace was prominent in outerwear and dresses, challenging summer's traditional floral aesthetic.
The 'goth girl' aesthetic presented dark, grungey ensembles, a stark contrast to typical summer styles. Menswear brands also contributed notable womenswear looks. A significant theme was 'ultimate upcycling,' driven by Copenhagen Fashion Week's strict sustainability requirements, with brands like Stem and Ganni leading the charge.
Ballet-core inspired collections featured elements like headbands and leg warmers, while polka dots continued their reign, often mixed in varied sizes and colors for a fresh take. The focus on sustainability and innovative design continues to define Copenhagen's impact on the fashion world.
