In the span of just a few seasons, Copenhagen has solidified its position as a fashion force to be reckoned with. Among the standout brands that have captured attention, those gracing the runways of Copenhagen Fashion Week stand tall. From its commencement in 2006, Copenhagen Fashion Week has grown from a small event to a major fashion week while staying true to its roots and promoting sustainability.

The journey of Copenhagen Fashion Week has been one of growth, guided by an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Brands showcased on its platform are subject to rigorous criteria—18 tangible sustainability requirements. These include the mandate that over 50% of each collection must be crafted from certified, preferred, new-generation sustainable materials, upcycled, recycled, or fashioned from deadstock. The pursuit of sustainability extends to show production, demanding zero waste in set design and production, with an emphasis on repurposing samples.

As the curtains rise on another exhilarating chapter of Copenhagen Fashion Week, the stage is set for a spectacular array of fashion narratives that defy conventions and expectations. This season, the spotlight initially falls on four remarkable showcases that have left an indelible mark on the event. From enduring the caprices of the elements to embracing the unconventional, these presentations have laid the foundation for an event that celebrates ingenuity, individuality, and the fearless pursuit of design innovation.

Amidst a relentless downpour, A. Roege Hove marked one of the early Spring/Summer 2024 presentations at Copenhagen Fashion Week, showcasing a remarkable commitment to innovation and design that proved impervious to the weather’s whims.

This season, A. Roege Hove once again demonstrated their mastery of textile manipulation, introducing fresh perspectives on their signature fabrics. With an artful play of opacity, color, and form, the SS24 collection unveiled an array of tops, dresses, skirts, and shorts. The harmonious blending of fuzzy fabrics, glittering lurex, and translucent tulle-like materials culminated in a surprisingly wearable and captivating ensemble.

A Radisson hotel conference space served as the unconventional stage for Latimmier‘s exploration of themes encompassing masculinity, money, and power. The show took an unexpected twist with a mesmerizing drag performance of ‘Big Spender,’ a symbolic introduction to the overarching ethos of opulence and influence. Under the title ‘Position of Power,’ the collection draws inspiration from archetypal figures of power portrayed in North American film and television. With a nod to cinematic works like American Psycho, American Gigolo, and The Wolf of Wall Street, Latimmier’s designs evoked the spirit of these influential narratives.

7 DAYS Active’s presence electrified the sports hall in Kongens Enghave, unleashing an unparalleled energy. Accompanied by the exhilarating sounds of a live punk rap soundtrack by Fabräk, the brand redefined sportswear aesthetics. Models traversed the line markings of soccer and basketball fields, creating an arresting visual parallel that accentuated the sporty essence of the ensembles. Against an asphalt runway backdrop, 7 DAYS Active illuminated a path to a new, vibrant dimension of sport-inspired fashion.

Saks Potts, co-founded by lifelong friends Cathrine Saks and Barbara Potts, has firmly established its signature “sexy but make it Copenhagen” aesthetic since its inception in 2014. The Spring 2024 collection titled “Horden Rund” (meaning “Around the World”) draws inspiration from the founders’ journeys—both childhood and adulthood. In a celebratory nod to traveling and summertime in Copenhagen, the collection resonates with swimwear, sarongs, dresses, Bermudas, and raincoats. Saks Potts captures the essence of the woman who embraces adventure even within her own city—bold, free-spirited, and unafraid of the unpredictable.

As Copenhagen Fashion Week unfolds, it stands as a testament to the resilience of the creative spirit. Unhampered by weather or convention, designers are boldly pushing boundaries, exploring narratives, and celebrating individuality. The stage is set until August 11, welcoming all to join in the celebration of fashion’s unique and diverse expressions.
