Model removed from catwalk at Copenhagen Fashion Week for raising Palestinian flag
Model and musician Jura Indexspring was removed from a Copenhagen Fashion Week runway show after staging a protest for Palestine. During a show for the Finnish brand Marimekko's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Indexspring walked down the catwalk with a large Palestinian flag, which obscured the dress she was wearing. The show took place at an industrial site near Copenhagen's harbor. Indexspring held a massive flag with the message "Act now against genocide" written on it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jura (@jura_indexspring) After completing the initial part of her walk, she was escorted off the runway by security guards on the brand's orders. According to one report, some audience members shouted encouragement during the incident. Following her removal, Indexspring posted a statement on Instagram. She wrote, "The thing is, we have no future without Palestine... If we accept that Israel will starve all of Palestine now, we accept that the world's rich will decide which minorities will be next for genocide". Neither Marimekko nor Copenhagen Fashion Week has released a public statement regarding the incident.

Street style trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week
This week, Copenhagen Fashion Week took place, once again demonstrating why it is considered a melting pot for creative pioneers. Attendees opted for playful patterns, leaving behind familiar clichés, and combined accessories that balanced nostalgia with urban ease. A willingness to experiment with layering created surprising silhouettes, while striking details such as eye-catching collars gave the looks a distinctive touch. An overview of Copenhagen's best street style trends. 101 Dalmatians As if straight from the fashion universe of 101 Dalmatians, polka dots were one of the most striking patterns seen on the streets of Copenhagen Fashion Week. Inspired by the classic black and white look, the dot pattern here finally freed itself from childish associations and Cruella de Vil drama. It presented itself as stylistically mature and creative. Polka dots in Copenhagen Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight (left); Copenhagen Fashion Week Whether as a transparent skirt with a fine dot pattern over a simple slip dress, on a chocolate brown satin skirt combined with an oversized blazer, or as a large-format print on a cream two-piece suit, the dot pattern was used in a variety of ways in Copenhagen. The looks were complemented by accessories such as bandanas, crochet hats, retro sunglasses and structured leather bags. Bandanas While the dots brought playful lightness to the outfits, bandanas lent the looks a touch of boho romance, a hint of pirate flair and a dash of big-city poetry. For SS26, scarves in Copenhagen became a style-defining accessory, sometimes interpreted nostalgically, sometimes with a modern twist. Bandanas in Copenhagen Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Paired with silk tops, playful blouses or simple knitwear, they not only protected from the sun but also rounded off every outfit, whether minimalist or maximalist, with finesse. Models with vintage prints, graphic patterns or delicate lace were particularly effective. Layering Copenhagen Fashion Week once again proved to be experimental in the styling of silhouettes, especially when layering skirts. Layers became a fashion statement. Skirts over trousers, tulle over denim, mini over maxi, all with surprising ease. The looks played with volume, transparency and structure, opening up new ways to completely rethink classic garments. Layers in Copenhagen Credits: Copenhagen Fashion Week Whether a ruffled tulle skirt over jeans, a striped silk skirt over raw denim or an embroidered lace skirt over airy cotton layers, layering became an art form. Statement collars While many looks at Copenhagen Fashion Week focused on flowing fabrics and summery lightness, some ensembles stood out with a deliberate break. Jackets with striking stand-up collars, known as funnel necks, became the dominant element. Instead of being understood as mere weather protection, the high collars moved to the centre of styling and played a decisive role in defining the silhouettes. Funnel necks in Copenhagen Credits: Copenhagen Fashion Week Whether interpreted in a sporty way in a cream-coloured anorak with a ruffled collar, which appeared almost sculptural in combination with a patterned layered skirt, or in dark, structured denim with a bulky stand-up collar and cropped cut, the jacket became a statement piece thanks to its collar. Even in oversized models with minimalist colouring, the raised collars played a central role and echoed the penchant for dots for SS26. Babies on board Without a doubt, the most valuable accessory of the season in Copenhagen was neither an expensive designer bag nor flashy sunglasses. Rather, it was something that cannot be bought: a mother's love, and at the same time, impressive proof that women really can do it all. Babies on board in Copenhagen Credits: Copenhagen Fashion Week While one of the designers of the duo behind the Rave Review brand skilfully balanced a baby on her hip during the final applause of their SS26 show, mothers on the streets of Copenhagen demonstrated how to integrate their offspring into their outfits with casual style – a contemporary interpretation of "mama chic".

From football to fishing: Trends of Copenhagen Fashion Week
Copenhagen Fashion Week this season presented itself as a particularly clear reflection of society, showcasing two sides. One, a world full of colourful and alternative looks. The other, a more conservative style with classic silhouettes and high-necked pieces. The trends from the Danish capital stood out, particularly from the first perspective. Some playful details repeatedly lightened up the more conservative looks, perhaps as a sign of hope in difficult times. Discover which trends particularly shaped Copenhagen, and the role the rat played in it all. Negligés On the first day of fashion week, it already became clear that negligés with ruffle details in various designs – from long dresses to recycled pieces – were highly popular for SS26. Depending on the collection, the styling was either simple or sophisticated. A long dress with toe separators at OpéraSport could be seen, as well as more urban looks from Baum und Pferdgarten, which presented the negligé together with olive-green cargo trousers and black Y2K-style boots. Meanwhile, Bonnetje showcased the reconstructed top, with the former slip dress styled as a detail over a knee-length black skirt. From left to right: OpéraSport, Bonnetje and Baum und Pferdgarten Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Transparent fabrics It wasn't just the silky nightdresses that provided a touch of sensuality in Copenhagen. The use of transparent fabrics also conveyed a magical lightness. The respective materials were used for both partial sections and entire pieces. The spectrum ranged from knee-length dresses and jackets to jumpsuits. The transparent materials – especially through the many different applications – created a variety of styles that could be sensual and elegant, but also casual and sporty. From left to right: Cecilie Bahnsen, Caro Editions, Deadwood, Forza Collective, Herskind Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Fishnet Several net-like tops, dresses and decorative throws, reminiscent of full-body jewellery, complemented the rather revealing trend, even if they were sometimes only used as an additional layer. Overall, the looks around the coarse-meshed pieces seemed to show a lot of skin. The decorative aspect seemed to be at the forefront of most pieces of this kind, whether through small details adorning a coarse-meshed dress or the use of the product as an accessory. The exception was a sleeveless top by Rolf Ekroth, where the net was only used as an insert. From left to right: Madsen, Iamisigo, Alis and Rolf Ekroth Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Horse girl The following looks, reminiscent of show jumper uniforms, were significantly more structured. The sharply tailored blazers are reminiscent of the athletes' competition jackets, which, fittingly, were rounded off with leggings and dark boots at brands like MKDT Studio and The Garment. Gestuz, meanwhile, shortened the blazer and combined it with a short skirt – a look less reminiscent of equestrian sports, but one that came closer to a uniform through accessories such as white gloves.

However, these brands focused particularly on the shoulders, which looked as if the designers had been inspired by American football. They used the associated shoulder pads – the protective gear worn under the jersey – to play with the silhouette. From left to right: PLN, Han Kjobenhavn and Rave Review Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Pattern mix Copenhagen is known for its Scandinavian minimalism as well as its vintage street style aesthetic, which often features patterns from past decades. Some of the brands pursued the second approach this season, sending looks with many different patterns down the runway, some of which also clashed within a single look. Layering played a particularly important role through contrasting prints like floral embroidery with stripes; polka dots with hearts and stripes; and check patterns. The various garments also brought together different colours, combining, for example, pink with brown – a colour palette that doesn't necessarily come to mind immediately, but which created a certain harmony among the disharmony through the jumble of patterns. From left to right: Hendrik Vibskov, Munthe, Rolf Ekroth and Caro Editions Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Stiff scarf The scarf, which has been gaining popularity in recent seasons, including in menswear, was also present in Copenhagen. What was striking, however, was that the accessory tied around the neck at several brands, such as MKDT Studio, Rave Review and Rolf Ekroth, appeared somewhat stiff, sometimes looking as if it were blowing in the wind. From left to right: MKDT Studio, Rave Review (both) and Rolf Ekroth Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Ratty It-bag The absolute It-piece of the season was delivered by Anne Sofie. The 'Radbag', presented in various colours such as a lilac-chrome or gold, is based on the sculpture by artist Esben Weile Kjær and depicts an oversized rat. Various designers have already proven that replicas of animals are popular bags, above all Jonathan Anderson, who has already turned creatures such as pigeons and frogs into absolute It-pieces for his brand JW Anderson. Similar to the pigeon, the rat is popularly considered a dirty, disease-carrying pest, yet they are said to be particularly intelligent animals. The rat, as the cliché 'pet' of punks, is also attributed with rebellion. So is the new It-bag only a statement or is it also a response to the growing pressure from the conservative movement worldwide?

Icelandic performance wear label66°NORTHlaunched its SS26 collection with a special exhibition anticipating its 100th anniversary in 2026. The immersive exhibition '100 Years of Progress. Still Made for Life' duringCopenhagen Fashion Weekgave visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the brand's historic legacy and current-day innovations centered on the latest range. On the showcase Helgi Óskarsson, CEO, 66°North, said, 'Our journey over the last hundred years has been marked by innovation, without compromising on the core values built into the company since its inception.' 'This Copenhagen Fashion Week exhibition reflects our unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, durability, and purposeful design, and offers up guests an insight into the inner workings of our factories and repair shops,' he added. Interactive features, including a wind machine and a GORE-TEX weather simulator, showcase the intense level of testing 66°North products receive before reaching the end consumer. The special exhibition also contains an atelier inspired by the brand's factories, complete with cutting tables and workbenches. The label has operated directly-owned factories throughout Europe, with a facility in Latvia dedicated to collaborating with fabric innovators, including partners GORE-TEX® and Polartec®. In addition to the SS26 products, everything from prototypes, raw materials, and deconstructed garments was put on display to demonstrate the brand's product development journeys. Harðardóttir expressed the label's dedication to incorporating responsible material choices without compromising on performance. 'We believe it's better to create a garment that lasts a decade than one that claims to be a more sustainable fabric but fails in two or three years.' For example, the SS26 Hornstrandir Shell Jacket is a GORETEX® Pro 3L hybrid jacket that offers storm-grade protection, and the Snæfell Polartec® Power ShieldTM Pro is designed to provide breathability, waterproofing, and unrestricted movement. Led by the 66°North repair team, the company's 100-year-old mending initiative executed live repairs on-site at the exhibition. 'Our repair service has been central to our mission since Hans Kristjansson founded the company in Suðureyri, Iceland, in 1926. When your customers' lives depend on your products, you do everything possible to protect them,' said Bjarney Harðardóttir, CBO, 66°North. See the gallery above for an in-depth look at the exhibition and images of 66°North's SS26 range, set for future release at thebrand's webstore.
