The best street style from the Copenhagen Fashion Week spring/summer 2026 shows
Copenhagen is back in her style era, and you can tell just by stepping outside. The spring/summer 2026 shows are in full swing, and with them, the streets have once again transformed into everyone's favourite runway. Texture play, bold prints, audacious accessories, and yes, even the undying bag charms—it's a full buffet of Danish flair, and clearly, no one's holding back. As for the shows? Danish brand OpéraSPORT kicked off the week with a quintessentially summer collection that toyed with contrast, fittingly staged poolside. Cecilie Bahnsen is set to return to the official schedule too, in time for her label's 10th anniversary, a sweet little homecoming after her Paris detour. Rotate and Baum und Pferdgarten are back in the mix as well, alongside Marimekko and Caro Editions. A good scattering of Scandi darlings across the board, plus brands from Sweden, Finland, and Iceland adding their flavour to the line-up. Anne Sofie Madsen also returns to the runway this season as part of the CPHFW NewTalent shows, bringing her label back into focus amid a brand relaunch after eight years. She's not exactly a newcomer having first shown in 2013, but this it's a fresh chapter for the designer who is returning with a more assured voice now. This time around, she showcased looks that blurred the boundaries between clothes we consider as youthful play and 'grown-up' clothes. She is but one of three designers selected for the initiative, alongside Berner Kühl and Bonnetje. Meanwhile, on the sidewalks, the Danes are doing what they do best: dressing with that signature nonchalance that somehow ends up on everyone's Pinterest board. There's a strong mix of masculine-meets-feminine energy: ties, vests, and loafers softened by bows, polka dots, lace and the occasional stripes. Lots of colour-blocking and pattern-mixing have been thrown in too, bringing a punchy summer palette that mirrors the bustling energy of the week. All in all? Classic Copenhagen: a little eclectic, but nothing short of cool. Scroll on to see some of the buzziest style moments so far spotted across the city's spring/summer 2026 shows, as lensed by Acielle of StyleduMonde.

Rats Have Invaded Copenhagen Fashion Week
To have and to hold. Photo: Freja Wewer Forget everything you thought you felt about rats, those scuttling denizens of subways and garbage cans. Not since the appearance of Ratatouille's Remy has the possibility of these rodents' reputations being rehabilitated seemed possible—until today when Anne Sofie Madsen and Esben Weile Kjær will loose their disco rodents on the fashion pack. Available in four metallic colors, these meant-to-be-memed clutch bags put Labubus to shame. Here, the two artists discuss their collaboration. Photo: Freja Wewer Photo: Freja Wewer How did you two meet? Anne Sofie Madsen: We met more than a decade ago in Copenhagen. I had just returned from London, and Esben had just arrived in the city and was finishing his A-levels. Esben and Mø deejayed together at the afterparty for the first show I had in Copenhagen. Paper trail. Photo: Casper Sejersen At a stretch. Photo: Casper Sejersen How did you start working together? ASM: It happened very naturally. We were often in the same spaces—clubs, studios, galleries. We just started playing around with ideas and building things together. Nothing felt formal, it was more like a continuous conversation. I think the first actual project we did was a one-off performance piece at Ovengaden. It was never really documented, but it felt like the beginning of something. In 2016 we did a photo story for Document Journal. Esben shot it with an old point-and-shoot camera in an atelier that belonged to a friend. It was such a beautiful day—one of those rare moments where everything just clicks. Another was for fall 2017; Esben created the shoes and boots. They were made from papier-mâché using recycled newspapers—luxury pieces with an ephemeral quality, shifting the conversation around value.
