Copenhagen Fashion Week It may be in the rearview mirror, but the incredible work of the designers is still what matters most. Each season, the show program is full of fun, individuality and pure surprise, while showcasing art, politics nuancesand of course the good fashion for which the city is known.
the fashion industry can seem oversaturated and repetitive at times, but the brands that came out of Copenhagen, especially the newcomers, presented refreshing and unique designs, which I, for one, am always looking for in fashion.
Next, here are the seven brands that stood out at CPHFW 2024.
Nicklas’ eponymous women’s clothing brand started in 2020 and has been steadily gaining popularity. He notes that his pieces represent “the union of an unexpected material and a classic form.” Many of these materials are handmade by the designer himself, as he likes to experiment with looms and hand knitting. While the garments are made from unconventional combinations like silk taffeta and jersey, the shapes still lean toward classic womenswear. Skovgaard has said that he looks for inspiration in baroque elements mixed with modern nods.
This season’s presentation, which included a variety of elegant coats, dresses, skirts and touches of her specific style of evening wear, was no different. One of my favorites was this midnight blue knit coat trimmed with a beautiful satin lining and cinched at the waist. Her pieces showcase a beautiful combination of opulence and luxury without being suffocating and instead pure joy. Continue to make fashion fun.
Mfpen
This elusive brand was probably my favorite show of the week. Guests lined an art gallery-turned-catwalk, with a heavy mix of punk music and clips from the documentary “the Decline of Western Civilization” playing as models emerged in a layered mix of tailored suits, knitwear and T-shirts. .
Mfpene designer Sigurd Bank has been in the Copenhagen fashion scene for some time. He started his brand in 2015 with elevated basics and has since turned it into one of the most talked-about brands of the season. the type of casual suit and combined style achieved that cool children’s uniform that not many can execute successfully and flawlessly. No notes.

Another interesting children’s brand is Stamm. This season, they asked the audience to consider the intersection between art and commerce, a place we all find ourselves in as fashion consumers. Designer Elisabet Stamm wanted to create functional pieces that also directly reflected the sculptures that inspired her, as well as incorporating sentimental elements into every detail. For example, she was inspired by wearing her father’s oversized jackets when she created her own, and that’s a big understatement. In her show notes, Stamm writes that the core values of the brand’s collection are to feel liberated yet comfortable.
Skall Studio
This contemporary brand is no stranger to Copenhagen Fashion Week. Lately, it’s become a staple for enthusiasts of wardrobe essentials like coats and jeans, especially during the era of “quiet luxury.”
