A Fashion Week Not Quite Like the Rest
If avowed efforts toward sustainability are one thing that separates Copenhagen Fashion Week from its counterparts in New York, London, Milan and Paris, another is its youthful spirit. Because the so-called fifth fashion week is less institutionalized than others, it generally draws a younger and more diverse group of people who enthusiastically telegraph their idealism, excitement and cultural identity through clothes. On the streets, this often means that instead of one trend emerging as a headliner — whether it's zebra stripes, polka dots or floral prints — everything can. The runways at the latest Copenhagen Fashion Week were similarly dynamic. Cecilie Bahnsen's show featured models parading outside in white dresses of various shapes and sizes as smoke bombs burned ominously in the distance. Marimekko's collection of striped and patterned attire was also presented outdoors, on a paved runway peppered with small skate ramps, and styled with Adidas Tokyo sneakers. And Sunflower, a men's wear brand in Copenhagen, revved up its show by having models share the runway with a souped-up sports car, which made the affair feel more like a drag race. Compared with the tent-pole fashion weeks, Copenhagen's seems to be able to do a lot with a lot less. But it does not feel like a lot less, which is kind of the trick to nailing sustainability.

The Top Fall 2025 Color Trends, From Powder Pink to Mocha Brown
Naturally, as the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, the season's color trends invite a richer, more decadent palette into our wardrobes, often stemming directly from the runways. The fall/winter 2025 color trends capture the season's duality of bold self-expression and cozy warmth. But it's not all net-new: several colors from spring/summer 2025 are still going strong. The wispy, powdery blush that evolved from 2023's Barbie pink remains relevant for fall. A rich, chocolate-y brown (coined by Pantone as 'Mocha Mousse') also maintains a strong presence this season with many designers, from Fendi to Saint Laurent, opting for tonal suiting and unexpected pairings—alongside pale greens and purples seen at Prada and Gucci. Siren red holds fast, popping up in full looks at Fforme and Acne Studios, but also as striking flashes at Ferragamo and Tod's. Even those who prefer to abstain from color can still find ways to incorporate trending hues into their day-to-day rotations. Slime green works as a neutral in itself, and the same can be said for the sea of blues dominating the collections—from pastels to cobalt—which work easily with whites, creams, beiges, and browns. Below, we break down the defining fall/winter 2025 color trends—and the pieces to purchase to stay in the know. Photo: Carven, Jil Sander, Prada Powder Pink Pink continues to retain a light touch. Strong yet girly—this pink has spanned Khaite, Alaïa, Miu Miu, and Loewe. This softer, more delicate shade is endlessly versatile, appearing in both feminine and modern styles, from romantic dresses to structured tailoring.

The vibrant maraschino hue was spotted in striking, head-to-toe monochromatic looks from a plethora of designers, like Altuzarra, Calvin Klein, Ashlyn, Christopher John Rogers, Fforme, Acne Studios and Sergio Hudson. The best part? It can easily be worn with black and white for a bold statement, or tempered against grey and navy. Photo: Fendi, Gucci, Prada Mocha Brown Every year, Pantone declares the color of the next 12 months ahead; a hue to define the mood and set the tone, if you will. For 2025, it's a subdued kind of chocolate brown, aptly named mocha mousse. Give it a go with Prada's pajama-style shirt, Gucci's suede shoulder bag, or Khaite's Western-inspired Clive boot. Photo: Skall Studio, Bally, Stella McCartney Shades of Blue In 2025, blue is trending in assorted shades, providing a blend of tranquility and tenderness. Key shades include icy blues, cobalt, and cyan. These tints are universal, varying from faint and serene to decadent and assertive, and they can be styled in many ways for a contemporary yet traditional look.

Use it as a grounding neutral among beige, black, brown, and white. Photo: Dries Van Noten, Colleen Allen, Tom Ford Electric Aubergine For the person who prefers their fall/winter colors as dark as the season's essence, this one is for you. Electric purple showed up on the runway in a draped top at Dries Van Noten, a backless gown at Colleen Allen, and button-up blouses at Tom Ford. Go head-to-toe and wear Khaite's Keefe top with a pair of satin Dries trousers, or use it as a punchy statement separately.
