Copenhagen Fashion Week SS21 Round Up
We've been treated to a Copenhagen Fashion Week like no other this year. One of the sartorial highlights of the year, all eyes were firmly fixed on the Danish capital for a selection of curated events, virtual experiences and expert talks. Leading the way for sustainability in the industry, CFW was the first to announce that brands had to meet a set of sustainability requirements in order to be featured on the show schedule, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in the next three years. So for all the best bits from '72 Hours of Fashion, Live and Digital', here's the best five things we saw at Copenhagen Fashion Week SS21.
As well as runway shows and presentations from our favourite Scandinavian designers, we were invited to listen in on intimate Q&A sessions with a variety of brands including Samsoe Samsoe and Vestiaire Collective Co-Founder Fanny Moizant to name a few.
#1 House of Goya SS21
Delivering our seasonal dose of Scandi 2.0, House of Goya SS21 stayed true to the signature bold colour palette and prints of previous collections. This season
#2 GANNI
Showing us why they're leading by example when it comes to sustainability in fashion,GANNI kicked off Copenhagen Fashion Week with an exhibition as well as the launch of their denim rental service in collaboration with Levi's. The rental service is the first of it's kind featuring specially designed denim pieces with a distinctive GANNI edge. Featuring oversized collars, western shirts and denim jeans, the collection 'Designed to be worn by many, owned by none' has been created for customers to rent before sending back for others to also have the opportunity to wear in the future. Instead of a runway show this year, GANNI curated a three-day exhibition uniting the GANNI community from London to Montreal. Guests enjoyed everything from installations, to life size cardboard cutouts of GANNI pieces from the archives. The exhibition also featured a video showcasing new season pieces floating and flying around the room!
#3 Remain Birger Christensen
Elevating timeless classic pieces with a sophisticated Scandinavian edge, Remain Birger Christensen showcased their SS21 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week with a sunstained presentation. Featuring a blend of burnt oranges and turquoise with more muted monochrome colours, tailored trenches and collared short sleeve shirts were stand out pieces. Leather was a focal fabric with pants, shirts and trenches in structured designs all noticeable trends. Teamed with feminine barely there strappy mules and sandals, working perfectly as a juxtaposition to the androgynous style of the collection.
