February 14th is just about here — do you know what gift you’re buying your Valentine? Sure, you could embrace the holiday crowd pleasers and go the chocolate box, rose bouquet, or DIY-massage route...But for some of us, having picky recipients makes the task of finding that perfect present (especially on a budget) a tad more challenging.

Copenhagen Fashion Week has been steadily gaining recognition as a major destination for discovering emerging fashion designers and spotting cool street style stars. With mid-sized, beloved brands like Ganni and Saks Potts leading the way, there are countless labels coming out of Copenhagen that have caught our attention, such as Cecile Bahnsen, Helmstedt, and Stand Studio. In addition to being a launch pad for Danish creatives, Copenhagen Fashion Week is also doing its part to make climate change a major priority. Moving forward, in order for a brand to show, it’ll have to meet certain sustainability requirements.
This week, Copenhagen Fashion Week released its sustainability action plan. Meant to run from 2020 through 2022, the organization has committed to reducing negative impacts, innovating its business model, and accelerating industry change across the board. Over the next three years, the Danish fashion week will reduce its carbon footprint by 50% while working to offset carbon emissions stemming from other related operations. The plan also includes developing digital solutions to minimize travel — an idea that was already put into motion this week by Carcel Clothing who showcased its latest collection via projected screens rather than using models and clothes.

Considering the amount of resources that go into producing a fashion week, Copenhagen Fashion Week also aims to become zero waste by implementing bans on single-use items and committing to full reuse and recycling. Beyond this, the organization is calling on designers to take part in the initiative under its 2023 Sustainability Requirements that will come into effect in January 2023. Under these conditions, brands will be required to achieve a certain score to be eligible to apply for a show or presentation on the official Copenhagen Fashion Week schedule. As stated in the document, “Brands can earn points based on six strongly interlinked focus areas covering the entire value chain, including: strategic direction, design practices, smart material choices, working conditions, consumer engagement, and show production.”
In order to make it onto the official schedule of Copenhagen Fashion Week, all CPH shows and presentations on must meet 17 minimum standards — examples include pledging not to destroy unsold clothes, using at least 50% certified, organic, upcycled or recycled textiles in all collections, and utilizing only sustainable packaging as well as zero-waste set design.
“All industry players – including fashion weeks – must be accountable for their actions and willing to change the way business is done,” expressed Copenhagen Fashion Week CEO Cecilie Thorsmark in the press release. “Fashion weeks are a symbolic, cultural focal point of the fashion world, a platform where new visions, trends, and talents emerge. I, therefore, believe they hold tremendous potential to drive change and, if we dare to be bold, we can change how business is done. We can move from being a source of inspiration and a conversation starter to a facilitator of action.”
We salute Copenhagen Fashion Week for holding itself and Danish brands accountable for their climate impact by creating actionable solutions. Hopefully, other fashion weeks and organizations will soon follow suit.

Last night, Margot Robbie (aka Harley Quinn) celebrated the Birds of Prey premiere in London alongside stylish costars like Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (i.e. her fellow flock). For the special occasion, Margot wore a black gown by Dries Van Noten from the designer’s spring 2020 collection, which seemed to be a nod to the theme of the night.
Featuring a billowing skirt with an exposed bra and a feathery sash — an ostrich plume — on top, the outfit was completed with a pair of long, fuschia gloves. The opera gloves reminded us of Zoë Kravitz’s recent Golden Globes look, which has us wondering if dainty evening gloves are officially making a comeback (excuse me while I raid my 90-year-old grandmother’s stash for NYFW). Styled by Kate Young, Margot’s look was just the right amount of over-the-top, and perfectly bird-like for the big event. Keeping her hair simple and straight and adding a dash of pink hue on her cheeks and lips, another detail we loved was her glittery lime green eye shadow, which matched a sash she donned in one of Young’s photos on Instagram.
When it comes to red carpet appearances, Margot Robbie is a bit of a style chameleon. Whether she’s wearing metallics or ruffles, gowns or pantsuits, she always looks on-point, no matter the occasion. And this ties in nicely with her ability to take on such varied acting roles. Regardless of the role or the outfit, Margot just does it all so seamlessly, always leaving us inspired to channel some BME — big Margot energy — into our daily lives.

Editors, buyers, and trend forecasters gathered in a rainy Copenhagen on Tuesday to kick off the city's first fashion week of 2020. Despite the gloomy weather, AW20 began with a bang thanks to the launch of CPHFW's impressive Sustainability Action Plan 2020-2022.
"All industry players – including fashion weeks – have to be accountable for their actions and be willing to change the way business is done," urged Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO of Copenhagen Fashion Week. "The timeframe for averting the devastating effects of climate change on the planet and people is less than a decade, and we’re already witnessing its catastrophic impacts today. Put simply, there can be no status quo."
The pledge, developed by a board of directors including Ganni founder Nicolaj Reffstrup, and reviewed by experts including Orsola de Castro of Fashion Revolution, will ban single-use plastic, prioritize vegan food at events, and use electric cars to take guests between shows throughout the city. With the ultimate goal of a 50% reduction in climate impact and to be a zero-waste event by 2022, meaningful action like this shows how key players can influence the wider industry for the better.
Watch this space to see how the eco-conscious Danes serve up recycled, reused, and repurposed fashion in their new-season collections. In the meantime, we spotted plenty of sartorial inspiration on the streets of the city. Click through to see the most innovative and exciting looks at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
