Back in the \u201970s and \u201980s when acts like David Bowie or the Rolling Stones played in Copenhagen they stayed at the Plaza Hotel, and frequented its Library Bar, which has been resistant to change.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s dark and cozy in a really good way,\u201d said designer Ulrik Pedersen on a preview call. It was in this Ralph Lauren-like atmosphere of dark wood hung with old oil portraits that Sunflower presented its fall collection to the live accompaniment of artists\u00a0Soho Rezanejad\u00a0(vocals) and August Rosenbaum (piano).\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first winter show Pedersen and co-founder Alan Blond have presented in their hometown, and hopefully it won\u2019t be the last because Sunflower\u2019s it factor is undeniable. In Pedersen\u2019s hands a corduroy suit with elbow patches doesn\u2019t read academic, but groovy. Equally, denim that nodded to young\u00a0Bruce Springsteen\u2019s favorite 501s escaped being corny.<\/p>\n
Pedersen\u2019s idea of the high\/low mix is to \u201chave your jeans with a suit jacket or your coat with a pair of nice jeans.\u201d For fall he\u00a0brought the shoulders in and cut silhouettes closer to the body. The mood, said Blond, was \u201cmore grown up.\u201d The show opened with a shearling zip-front jacket, black washed jeans worn with a turtleneck in a picklish kind of green. A tobacco-colored Prince of Wales suit was shown not with a button-down, but a pink V-neck sweater.\u00a0 The changes Pedersen makes are incremental enough to add newness without crossing into trendiness. \u201cInstead of all this fast fashion, we need to\u00a0go back to where people . . . just buy good genuine clothes you would like to wear and maybe take a break from wearing and then start wearing again after a few seasons,\u201d Pedersen said. \u201cSo for us doing this more classic menswear really feels super up-to-date now.\u201d\u00a0It looked that way too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back in the \u201970s and \u201980s when acts like David Bowie or the Rolling Stones played in Copenhagen…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[108,2985,1079,1153,3913],"class_list":{"0":"post-3793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-copenhagen","8":"tag-copenhagen","9":"tag-copenhagen-fall-2026","10":"tag-runway","11":"tag-runway_review","12":"tag-sunflower"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
