It’s the most wonderful time of the year – yes, it’s Copenhagen Fashion Week. The Spring Summer 27 season has kicked off overnight and the Danes have showed out in true from – textural, colourful, layered sartorial delights, ready to hit mood boards in time for an Australian spring.
Of course, we’ve spent years documenting and speaking to all the up-and-coming CPHFW designers you should know about, and they’re all back for the SS27 season – from the design duo at Anne Sofie Madsen to zero-waste pioneers Stem. If you want your CPHFW highlights and show reviews in a nutshell, scroll on…
Anne Sofie Madsen
Madsen and Clante’s SS27 collection, The New Desire, was all about”the idea of imagining new possibilities”, according their show notes. The runway – housed in a stark white room as part of the CPHFW NEWTALENT show – was accompanied by a live performance from Danish artist Michala Petri on flute. The clothes themselves felt like a softer expression of the typically bold Danish style, and a more hopeful return after its January show Ghostly Matters, which imagined a lost future.
Stem
Sarah Brunnhuber’s innovative, zero-waste production brand only joined the CPHFW NEWTALENT roster last year, but has already become a highlight. The brand’s signature weaving techniques enmesh pattern and textile to create a textural dream – all made using 100% natural and biodegradable fibres, including recycled cotton and Tencel Lyocell. For this collection, the brand partnered with fellow Danish fashion brand Ganni to create upcycled runway looks using deadstock fabrics.
OpéraSPORT
OpéraSPORT kicked things off with a sunshine-filled garden runway at the historic Carl Jacobsen House in Copenhagen. Designers Awa Malina Stelter and Stephanie Gundelach titled the collection – quite aptly – Growth, and saw models in slip dresses, layers of cascading frills and capri denim make their way around a gravel runway, adorned in floral brooches, necklaces and even a salacious baby’s breath headpiece.
