Copenhagen Fashion Week: strong season as 20th anniversary draws closer
As it approaches its 20th anniversary in 2026, Copenhagen Fashion Week appears to be going from strength to strength. Hugely influential in terms of its pioneering sustainability focus, its latest outing last week also offered up some strong collections. See catwalk Also with anniversaries on her mind, Cecilie Bahnsen returned to Copenhagen Fashion Week for a landmark moment: a 10th anniversary show, set against the raw concrete expanse of Refshaleøen, a post-industrial peninsula. Part-retrospective, it was both a celebration of the past and its ongoing evolution with a look to the future. See catwalk Most looks were one-offs, shaped by hand in the studio. There was a sense of extravagance here, 'not in opulence, but in intention'. White and silver were the key non-colours as the label sent out a series of structured sheers with frills, appliqués, embellishment — think sculptural but soft. The show was titled Hana-bi, the Japanese word for fireworks, composed of the characters for 'flower' and 'fire.' Swedish fashion house Filippa K showcased on the official CPHFW schedule with creative lead Anna Teurnell 'introducing a marinière-inspired wardrobe of classic, relaxed prep influences with a sporty touch'. The pieces balanced functionality and style, moving from work and commute, to evening and leisure (although the work, commute and leisure elements were much more prominent than the evening). The presentation was held on the rooftop of the label's Copenhagen store on Pilestraede, with stylist Alexandra Carl and 12 models debuting both womenswear and menswear looks. These were easily and instantly wearable looks in a low-key palette of classics and neutrals. Think relaxed tailored pant and vest combos, bomber jackets in traditional khaki, Breton striped tops with slouchy jeans, and a line-up of simplified or traditional macs and trenches. See catwalk By contrast, Baum und Pferdgarten's collection, Notes from the Grandstand, galloped into the season 'with a refined take on contrast' and strong colours. Inspired by the world of the Derby, it draws on the 'vivid uniforms of jockeys, the movement of the racetrack, and the elegance of guests dressed to be seen. It's a playful study of opposites, where sporting utility meets high-society glamour'. See catwalk Creative directors Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave were attracted to the sharp colour-blocking and purpose-driven silhouettes worn by jockeys and guests' extravagant outfits (again though, as with Filippa K, the jockey styles were more prominent than the guest looks). They came up with striped nylon nods to what jockeys wear, while checks and bold colour contrasts added 'a feeling of movement'. Frilled details on sporty outerwear 'introduce a feminine tension, subtly referencing classic equestrian attire'. See catwalk There was underwear on the runway too. Swiss-born brand Sloggi unveiled a partnership with rising luxury womenswear brand Nicklas Skovgaard, who was 'inspired by the private and intimate world of underwear and sleep', making Sloggi a good partner for the show. Skovgaard worked with the brand's signature pieces as well as new items such as 'The Up' – a push-up bra launching as part of the SS26 Zero Feel collection. But even when we weren't looking at full-on Sloggi underwear, there were extravagant petticoats — either as star pieces or peeking out from under his signature sculptural looks — lace footless tights and negligée-like capes. See catwalk Meanwhile, Rotate's collection captured the mood of a 'high-summer reverie, a season suspended in golden light, where femininity takes centre stage through fluid fabrics, daring silhouettes, and a palette kissed by the sun'. The creative directors said it was their 'most feminine chapter yet, where softness becomes an expression of strength'. See catwalk It was rooted in subtle nods to the 1970s, with 'a warm, sun-drenched nostalgia that blends the era's spirit with the brand's signature modern refinement'. Fluidity was key as capes framed the face, sheer gowns skimmed the floor, silk utility bodysuits hugged the body, and low collars met soft suedes and denims. See catwalk Signature dresses took on fresh shapes from the season's ubiquitous slip styles and sculptural columns to breezy scarf-tied designs. Linen tailoring debuted in dresses and suiting, while drapery was key for chiffon and satin pieces and gusseted details injected 'a subtle architecture, marrying softness with form'. See catwalk That may sound demanding but there were plenty of easy pieces such as the soft blouses paired with jeans, hot pant updates, or oversized blousons for quintessential early-into-late 70s looks. The palette shifted between warm neutrals taupe, softened whites, greys, and delicate pastels of faded peach, soft yellow, and light blues, all accented with subtle golden highlights. See catwalk And making their debut, Rotate's upcoming shoes offer included animal-print slingbacks, soft yellow and red accents, and heels with sculptural flower detailing.

Teurn Studios Resort 2026 Collection
When it comes to women's rights, few regions are more advanced than Scandinavia. As she builds Teurn Studios, Anna Teurnell, whose default is for a kind of solutions-based uniform dressing that borrows heavily from menswear, is discovering that fashion occupies a different realm, one where most collections for women are designed by men, and where buyers are continually asking her for more dresses. This got the designer wondering, 'What is feminism?'—or perhaps more specifically, are feminism and the feminine aesthetically conflated? 'I love so much clothes from men's wardrobes, I like the attitude of wearing almost the same thing every day,' said Teurnell on a call from Stockholm. 'Small adjustments, but a feminine touch always—a quite quiet kind of feminist. I still like hard and soft at the same time.' Evidence of this could be found in the second look, an inky satin blouse with a draped collar, whose fall was in perfect harmony with the insouciant droop of a light-washed pair of oversized paper bag jeans with four or five-inch zips at the bottom of the back hems. For no-fuss Teurnell, that shiny slip on top checked the festive box, as did the 'kitty cat' separates in the offering that were made of soft-to-the touch fil coupe. Accessories have always been part of this designer's total vision, and the lookbook demonstrates how a belt confetti-ed with bold metal studs, or a pair of rhinestone earrings can dress-up even a sweater and jean combo. On the tailoring front, there was a striped suit with higher-waist pants and a double-breasted blazer, as well as a cropped trench jacket that can be worn as part of a set with matching cavalry twill slacks or in a blouse-like manner. New for the season was a box-pleat midi skirt, but as Teurnell noted, trousers are her 'most important product category.' She showed a tailored track style with gathered ankles, and, without giving up voluminous cuts, cosigned the return to a 'super slim' fit as a fresh option via her skinny 'Joey Ramone' pants cut in denim, and—what else?—black Nappa leather with a matching cropped jacket. Rock on.

Filippa K Resort 2026 Collection
Counterintuitively, Filippa K's urbane resort collection was prompted by rustic Scandinavian summers. 'It's very inspired by the needs or the dream of being somewhere close to the sea and the sky,' explained Anna Teurnell. Swedish country houses where 'we often have blue and white marinière striped sweaters, very functional outdoor coats, warm clothes, and functional trousers' were also top of mind for the designer. The most countryish look in the offering was a light-wash denim tunic worn with darker wide jeans. A bathing suit styled with a suede circle skirt had a citified nonchalance, as did the collection as a whole. Bringing polish to casual and career dressing is what Filippa K has always been about, and Teurnell continues to elevate and diversify the products. For men, she retains the popular pleat-front pant, but adds a skinnier, tapered option alongside a track-pants/trouser hybrid. She also co-signs socks and sandals for him and her. When it comes to dressing up, she did a satiny blouse paired with a matching slip skirt, as well as a tank dress with a slit up the leg and across the lower back. There are many pieces to desire in this collection and also a good number of styling tips. The specific hacks include wearing a collared shirt backwards, letting one pant hem tuck behind the tongue of a two-tone pump, and layering bracelets over the sleeves of an airy trapeze-shaped car coat.
