(DI)Vision

Founded by siblings Nanna & Simon Wick in late 2018, (Di)vision’s bold, playful, and divisive designs scream of innovation.

With sustainability at the heart, (Di)vision’s brand ethos is creating from what already is. Creative sourcing of material from upcycling, reconstructing, and redesigning forms the pillars of the brand and adequately sets them apart from the crowd.

After their debut in 2018 with their custom workwear jackets, Wick stays true to the fairy grunge allure, frequently incorporating creative zippers into their pieces to produce an urban maximalist feel. These fun, edgy looks are very denim and cargo heavy staying true to their ‘downtown’ style, but Wick has also chosen to explore lighter tones and lace detailing, leaning into a subtly demure undertone to their edgy streetwear.

At Copenhagen 2024, OpéraSPORT have achieved a beautiful blend of two iconic cities, encompassing Paris’ sophisticated and feminine demeanour with Copenhagen’s athletic and practical style, giving each look that perfect je ne sais quoi. OpéraSPORT’s use of silk in particular expertly utilises the material’s natural shine to blend an association between high-class fabrics and Lycra active wear.

Sinéad O’Dwyer

Winner of the 2024 Zalando Visionary Award, Sinéad O’Dwyer is a forerunner in the integration of the feminine and the tough to expertly curate an elegant yet almost industrial design.

However, its O’Dwyer’s unique take on the human body itself that sets her apart from the crowd. “Diverse bodies are at the core of their design process, from research and development to the final product. This passion and care for the human body in all its iterations and their radical approach to design, sampling and production is what makes them unique” reads the brochure for SS25 at Copenhagen Fashion Week. O’Dwyer manages to almost make the clothes secondary to the model, instead showcasing the beauty of the human form first and foremost in a celebration of natural curves and beauty Aphrodite would be proud of.

To do this, the pieces are subtle and carefully designed to not overwhelm the model, but instead accentuate form and colour by focussing on earth tones with highlights of a deep blue denim in a gorgeous homage to the Earth.  

Berner Kühl

Frederik Berner Kühl is a fantastic up-and-coming talent diving into a traditional Scandi aesthetic with an elevated, modern approach that reads as sophisticated and cultured. Striving to convey his vision in ultimate materiality, Kühl focuses on grey-scale tones to allow his explorational textures and fabrics to speak for themselves, driving the pieces.

Creating menswear with a signature Danish sensibility, his SS25 runway showcased practical coats and jackets for next spring and summer, among expert layering to elude style and functionality.

Han Kjøbenhavn

Founded in 2008, style veteran Han Kjøbenhavn are still making waves through their innovative designs and daring shape work.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C-kKvPjO1LF/?img_index=1}

Focusing on shape in their work, the vision of Han Kjøbenhavn is bold and captivating silhouettes that captivate the audience and demand attention. Utilising dark and subdued colours not only provides an overarching grunge-feel to the collection, but really allows the avant-garde materials and structure to sing. However, these cutting-edge looks still remain reminiscent of the iconic Copenhagen, birthplace of Han Kjøbenhavn, with uncompromising craftmanship and attention to subtle details that the Danish do so well.

The exaggeration of the human form through the pieces, most notably around the neck and shoulders, promote a regal, powerful undertone to their runway and creates a natural yet untouchable feel.

An athletic undertone runs through their SS25 collection through the incorporation of stripes, jerseys, football accessories, and baseball caps in an effortless nod to a vintage style while remaining rooted in the contemporary. Through structures tailoring and bold colours, Baum Und Pferdgarten’s SS25 runway is reminiscent of American country club aesthetics, combining timeless style with luxury sportwear to elude a high-class yet effortless and relaxed beauty.

The post Showcasing Scandi Design: Meet Some of the Leading Names at Copenhagen Fashion Week SS25 appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Han Kjobenhavn

Han Kjobenhavn is one designer we definitely have our eyes on, and we’re not the only ones. Their collection recently was named ‘Silence’, and a lot of inspiration was taken from the founders football obsession. The brand was founded in 2008 and the show was said to have a nostalgic feel to it for a lot of the Copenhagen locals in attendance. Whist their new collection is more wearable that some of their other work, it’s still very Avant-Garde.

Oversized bombers, baggy trousers and so many mixes of tones and textures. Designer Wikkelsø Davidsen went on record saying “If you see my work in the past couple years, it’s silhouettes and sculpture-like expressions,” he says. “It’s about bringing those broad and artistic strokes into an everyday language.” His design style reminds us a lot of Yeezy in its prime, with the neutral colours and oversized silhoutes.

Saks Potts

Saks Potts blew it out the park with their runway as usual. Barbara Potts and Catherine founded the brand around 10 years ago and in celebration of that, they wanted to ensure their show was intimate and felt on brand – therefore they hosted it in one of their stores with a smaller guestlist – for fashion week – of 150 people.

The entire collection was totally 00’s Indie Sleaze inspired and we are obsessed. “For us it’s quite nostalgic because when we went to high school, it was exactly that vibe,” co-founder Barbara Potts stated. It had a bohemian vibe to it whist maintaining the key vibrant colours that we all remember from the early 2000’s. Afghan style coats, leather trousers, low slung waists and frilly feminine tops were some of our favourite parts of the collection.

Rotate

Rotate closed Copenhagen Fashion Week on the 1^st of February and they definitely left a lasting impression. They covered the walls in draped red fabric – almost red carpet like. On top of this there were countless showstopping Red looks, which was obviously such a prominent trend last Autumn/Winter.

Designer Thora Valdimars noted “We kind of made it into our more sexy Rotate universe, with a nod to the ’50s,”. The show brought a sexy feminine revamp to 50’s silhouettes and the 50’s vibe has become something they really Identify with. Sheer knits, sequins, and denim, which was just entering mainstream women’s fashion at the time. The brand sought a lot of inspiration from 50’s icon Elizabeth Taylor and the end of the show included 8 wedding dressed to represent Elizbeth Taylors 8 marriages, which is pretty iconic if you ask us. We also saw loads of roses which have been surfacing on all different runways but Rotate supersized them to take up the entire chest.

Paolina Russo

Paolina Russo hosted her sophomore collection staged on a runway designed to look water coloured alongside holographic structures.  The looks were very Y2K kidcore with a big splash of Grunge.  It was a mix of colour explosion and natural hues. 

_{Image Credits: Vogue Runway}

The collection has been name “Cul-de-sac” which the designer explained that the collection was to give the vibe of “suburban boredom and coming-of-age rituals.” The brand has been incredibly inclusive since its founding which we are absolutely here for so hosted a range of models to represent the diversity in the population.

Gestuz

Gestuz created a beautiful, dreamy party girl collection. They were quoted saying it was “made for the female gaze” which we second 100%. Micro shorts, sheer lace, pinstripes, sequins and everything else that we love. It’s a total NYC cool girl collection and we want one of everything.

We are particularly obsessed with the monochromatic red looks that broke up the entourage of sophisticated greys, whites and blacks and were so on trend.

Not afraid to switch it up, model Vivian Hoorn wore a Munthe blue leather-look skirt as a top styled with baggy jeans, a Bottega Veneta metallic green mini Jodie bag and Tilly Sveaas gold jewellery. This look is clean, sleek yet daring and we love it!

Getting creative, she also showcased a homemade double-denim look to the Holzweiler show consisting of a maxi skirt, tube top and cropped jacket adorned with denim roses. A* for effort!

The post The Best Street Style From Copenhagen Fashion Week appeared first on Voir Fashion.

A. Roege Hove

A. Roege Hove is a new talent brand to keep an eye on. The conceptual knitwear brand challenges traditions with a modern artistic approach to effortless yet extravagant silhouettes. Founded by Amalie Røge Hove in 2019, the designer has a master’s in textile design and years of experience as a knitwear designer for Danish brands. The unique designs are experimental with techniques, challenging our perception of traditional knitwear.

Set in a grand high white-walled building, the collection was edgy and daring (not what you would expect from knitwear) with sheer exposing fabrics, raw edges and cropped styles – very y2k.

(di)vision

(di)vision is a multi-disciplinary brand for sustainable fashion design and production, only using high-quality deadstock fabrics discarded from exclusive designers and existing materials. Founded by siblings Nanna & Simon Wick, the unisex collections take inspiration from multifunctional DIY aesthetics.

With the show set in woodland, the collection had a laid-back grunge theme with patchwork mini dresses, oversized leather-look bomber jackets, mini tank tops and hippy shirts that looked effortlessly cool and wearable.

Latimmier

Latimmier is a new ready-to-wear label by rising Finnish fashion talent Ervin Latimer. The collections are designed for those who want to express and challenge the expectations of masculinity with their clothing.

The show featured an array of oversized shirts and jackets, pinstripes, straight-lined tailored silhouettes and baggy trousers to produce a modern twist on the grunge look.

Gestuz

Founded in 2008 by Sanne Sehested, Gestuz creates designs inspired by vintage looks and modern rock and roll women, aiming to emphasise the strength of females. The collection had a fresh energetic feel with the vibrant colour palette showcasing oversized jackets, sleek midi dresses and micro skirts – another collection which screamed y2k.

The Garment

The Garment has a seasonless and minimalistic approach to create timeless quality garments and was founded in 2020 by Sophia Roe and Charlotte Eskildsen. The collection is classic, simplistic and chic, featuring traditional tailored silhouettes, sophisticated waistcoats, blouses, blazers and trousers as well as mini skirts and flowy longline dresses in a neutral palette to create a well-rounded wardrobe.

Ræburn

Zalando Sustainability Award Finalist, Ræburn uses a distinct utilitarian theme to create sustainable street-style designs. This collection was edgy, cool and fresh with a white, black and grey colour palette, largely consisting of casualwear such as jackets, t-shirts, shorts and trousers as well as an eye-catching parachute dress.

Aeron

Aeron’s brand focus is to produce timeless pieces for a modern women’s day-to-day wardrobe, and this collection was just that. Consisting of longline dresses, tailored blazers and trousers with a neutral colour scheme which enhanced the female form, the collection was minimalist and extremely wearable.

Rabens Saloner

Drawing inspiration from people, nature, and cultures from all over the world, Rabens Saloner created a fun vibrant yet wearable collection. Featuring everything from exaggerated skirts to mini tube dresses to sophisticated maxi dresses to tailored co-ords, this was a show to catch your eye.

P.L.N.

New talent P.L.N. made a rebellious display with a collection inspired by punk culture, goth and religious attire to create an edgy post-apocalyptic atmosphere. With an earth-toned colour scheme, the collection featured rips, raw edges, grungy leather trousers and jackets as well as mini skirts and figure-hugging tops.

The post Midweek Highlights From Copenhagen Fashion Week appeared first on Voir Fashion.

When it came to the surrounding streets of the designated venues, a series of attendees and their personal glam proved equally compelling. From sleek buns to slim headbands, below, you’ll find a handful of our favourite street looks at this month’s Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Dressed from head to toe in Andri Unnarson, Benjamin’s stylish counterpart looked equally sophisticated in her sage green pants and square sunglasses. With two toned hair and chunky gold earrings, we love this seamless blend between subtlety and playfulness.

From the classic black headband to chunky pearl necklaces, crochet bags and sleek bob haircuts, fashion week called for the re-emergence of summer’s timeless favourites. There were middle partings, gel-coated side-sweeps, and loose, effortlessly natural waves – ideal for the casual elegance that is ever present in and amongst Copenhagen’s bustling fashion scene.

If there’s one accessory that was set to make an appearance this August, it was sunglasses. By drawing attention to the face, we couldn’t help but take note of the plethora of hairstyles at play, from 60s inspired fringes, to the trendy, spiky bun that our favourite supermodels have been sporting as of late.

Whilst both laid-back and sporty, this gorgeous pair rocked denim in all its glory, maintaining natural makeup looks and simplistic hair-dos. Whether a long plait or thin baby bangs, when it comes to beauty, a little goes a long way.

There were suits and there were loafers, but there were solid silver chains and mullets too! Short, classic manicures appeared an inevitable favourite, but after all, we wouldn’t expect anything less in classy Copenhagen.

Slick-back buns took centre-stage on the streets of fashion week this year, often paired with a neutral, nude lip and gold hoop earrings. Appearing effortlessly chic in her tailored suit and small framed sunglasses, Emilie Billington was the star of the show.
