Oh, how far Copenhagen Fashion Week has come. With the showcase celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, it\u2019s impressive to see how dominant Scandinavian style has become on the global fashion stage\u2014just ask Ganni. The Pinterest-obsessed will know a Scandi look when they see one, whether that be a soft, neutral beauty look in the same vein of Matilda Djerf or a more contemporary, eco-conscious take on voluminous dresses and romantic florals \u00e0 la Cecilie Bahnsen. It\u2019s arguably one of the leading aesthetics of the 2020s, earning a place among the world\u2019s favourite Scandinavian exports (save for ABBA, of course).<\/p>\n
On the Spring\/Summer 2027 runways, the future of Danish and Scandinavian fashion looked a little like the past. The season referenced vintage dressing, the gritty glamour of the \u201890s, and the mod style of the \u201860s. Ahead, the chicest beauty trends<\/a> spotted at Copenhagen Fashion Week.<\/p>\n Ombr\u00e9 Lips at Alectra Rothschild \/ Masculina<\/p>\n Anyone in the\u00a0Bratz\u00a0camp of the never-ending Bratz versus\u00a0Barbie\u00a0debate can count this as a win. Danish brand Alectra Rothschild \/ Masculina staged a Spring\/Summer 2027 runway titled\u00a0Doll Parts (A Transsexual Choreography).\u00a0Rothschild likely wasn\u2019t taking inspiration from the makeup of Cloe, Jade, Yasmin, and Sasha, but the label\u2019s love for counterculture is a natural canvas for experimental beauty. The runway showcased a deliberately provocative wardrobe of netted denim and dramatised latex forms, exploring the interplay between trans identities and conventional\u00a0femininity<\/a>. Models were given a \u201990s ombr\u00e9 lip to match, using the contrast of a deeper brown outline with a glossy, lighter centre to exaggerate the shape of the mouth.<\/p>\n \u201960s Hair at Nicklas Skovgaard<\/p>\n Stop! In the name of fashion, Nicklas Skovgaard has brought the \u201960s girl group back to Copenhagen. Vintage Ford Mustangs rolled into the show, and the models who emerged from the cars were better known as \u201cThe Skovgaardettes,\u201d Skovgaard\u2019s fictional girl group based on \u201960s legends like The Supremes, The Ronettes, and The Shangri-Las. The collection created a retro fantasy through ginghams and pastels, with hair swept neatly back by wide, jersey-fabric headbands, once beloved (and now\u00a0back in fashion<\/a>) by the bouffant-haired Brigitte Bardot.<\/p>\n Flower Power at Op\u00e9raSport<\/p>\n The natural world is a limitless pool of inspiration and this season, Op\u00e9raSport made the most out of nature\u2019s bounty. The Copenhagen brand presented a collection called\u00a0Growth,\u00a0staged at Carl Jacobsen\u2019s historic garden, drawing on its botanical surroundings with lettuce-hem tops and floral motifs stitched onto gauzy blue<\/a> fabrics. If Jonathan Anderson were tasked with creating a sporty counterpart to his\u00a0Fall\/Winter 2026\/2027 Dior collection, it might look something like this. On the beauty front, flowers sprouted atop heads and delicate floral appliqu\u00e9s were placed around models\u2019s eyes in place of shadow. The style may call to mind\u00a0Ariana Grande\u2019s 2024 Met Gala look\u00a0(coincidentally also an Anderson creation), but the technique has a longer fashion week history. Petal-like eyeshadow appeared at Kenzo\u2019s Spring\/Summer 1998 show, while Giambattista Valli sent models out with fresh flowers framing their faces for Spring\/Summer 2020.<\/p>\n Sunburnt Cheeks at Ren\u00e8<\/p>\n Ren\u00e8 didn\u2019t so much stage a runway show as they did a sailing trip for the crowd at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Jens Skov \u00d8stergaard and Kridpat Charoenchaipiyakul\u2014the couple behind Ren\u00e8\u2014united their respective cultures under their Spring\/Summer 2027 collection,\u00a0Sea Marked.\u00a0Influenced by the artwork of the Skagen Painters as well as Asian seafaring traditions, clothes featured Thai rope pendants, and a palette of washed blues and moss greens suggestive of coastal life. Models had a generous dose of warm blush swept across their cheeks and the bridge of their nose, as if flushed by the days spent in the sun, salt, and air. Looks like the\u00a0blush love affair<\/a>\u00a0continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n Glittering Glam at Collina Strada<\/p>\n Clean girl beauty\u00a0would probably not survive a night out with Collina Strada. For its Copenhagen Fashion Week debut, designer Hillary Taymour presented\u00a0Delirium in Bloom, a technicolour collection of deadstock chiffon, patchworked fabrics, and most noticeably, sparkles as far as the eye could see. It was spattered onto models\u2019s legs in the form of gold glitter, appeared as a sequinned top layered under a tie-dyed short-sleeve, and was threaded through hair with\u00a0metallic tinsel. Even upon closer inspection, eyes were dusted with a shimmering inner corner highlight and lips were painted in chrome-like shades. The look feels especially timely given the maximalist makeup renaissance\u2014it would certainly do Zara Larsson and makeup artist Sophia Sinot proud.<\/p>\n
