5 Trends We’re Stealing From Copenhagen Fashion Week

Copenhagen Fashion Week FW20 drew to a close yesterday and despite the gloomy weather, there was a palpable sense of hope. It wasn’t just the fact that the last two shows on schedule – Rotate and Ganni – were brimming with ideas, energy, and community (although that certainly helped); the whole week was saturated with a collective drive to do and be better.

Copenhagen kicked off this season by announcing a major sustainability pledge: an action plan so impressive, we’re hoping it inspires bigger fashion week cities to follow suit. Committing to reducing its environmental footprint by transforming its business model, CPHFW promises to offset carbon emissions, ban single-use plastic, minimize travel to events and use electric transport only, move to vegan food offerings and be a zero-waste event by 2022. Developed by a board of directors including Ganni founder Nicolaj Reffstrup, and reviewed by experts including Orsola de Castro of Fashion Revolution, our expectations are high for the eco-conscious plan. Here’s hoping New York Fashion Week kicks off next week with the same kind of responsibility.

The FW20 collections were set against the backdrop of a hopeful future and boy, did the Danes show up. Over the past few years, CPHFW has gone from being an insider’s secret to globally influential, a shift that was reflected in this season’s collections. Here are five trends we’re stealing from the Scandis, from high-shine patent to clashing coats.

Touch The Leather

Sanne Sehested‘s label Gestuz started Copenhagen Fashion Week with a bang, presenting its FW20 collection in an art gallery. Abstract paintings and sculptural pieces sat in synchronization with the oversized checked suiting and graphic floral dresses. Leather, however, is what the brand was first known for and with this collection, Sanne returned to her roots. Glam rock green snakeskin knee-high boots and coordinating pencil skirts, ’80s puff-sleeved workwear dresses, and olive shirt and matching midi skirts all featured in Gestuz’s signature buttery leather fabric.

Leather was a big feature over at Ganni, too. The brand’s FW20 collection was truly thrilling; it’s no mean feat topping last year’s much-hyped 10th anniversary, but look after look not only paid homage to classic Ganni – exposed stitching, balloon sleeves, fantastic outerwear – but also reignited our love for the beret, the stomping boot, and the oversized collar. While every look had us swooning, the leather pieces – all black, coming in knee-length board shorts, sweetheart neckline cocktail dresses, and zip-front dresses – are top of our cold-weather wish list.

Keep ‘Em Cozy

With their extreme seasons, it’s no wonder the Danes have defined our summer wardrobes (we have them to thank for the ubiquitous floral midi dresses and chunky kicks) – but we should be looking to them for cold-weather styling tips, too. Copenhagen Fashion Week’s knitwear game was mighty strong this season. Rodebjer’s collection, inspired by Pablo Picasso and the art of the creative process, brought us cozy cashmeres and wools you just want to hibernate in. Models’ hair was tucked into rollneck knits, ankle-skimming vests came in oversized crochet, and the navy knitted dresses looked just as ideal for wearing with Birkenstocks around the house as they would layered over denim and loafers.

Over at Norwegian brand Holzweiler’s show, head of design Maria Skappel Holzweiler was inspired by her home country’s natural landscape. “For this collection, we looked to nature, valleys, mountains, woods, and agriculture… The collection explores the many facets of country living in Norway, from the knitted soil patterns to fossil prints, whilst incorporating thick tactile fabrics made for durability and function.” The knitwear was more extreme here, with a layered Lenny Kravitz scarf moment (divine!) and – our favorite look – an oversized Fair Isle rollneck jumper with an extra pair of sleeves acting as an extended scarf. Wrap us up and take us to a cabin in the Norwegian woods.

Clash Your Coats

The Scandis’ aforementioned knack for outerwear is rooted in their familiarity with sub-zero temperatures, but if you think it’s all sleek minimalist puffers and quilted jackets, you can think again. The most joyful trend to emerge this season was coats in a cacophony of prints. A mash-up of ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s florals was spotted at Rave Review, the cult Stockholm-based brand founded by Josephine Bergqvist and Livia Schück in 2017 which makes all its clothes out of upcycled fabrics. With a hodge-podge of checks, stripes, florals and more, the brand created a collection that found calm in the chaos. For both sustainability and aesthetic reasons, the label should be on your radar going forward.

Clashing coats needn’t only come in the form of different fabrics spliced together. Emilie Helmstedt has fast become one of the most anticipated shows on the schedule in Copenhagen, entrancing women far and wide with her whimsical motifs and joyous color palette. For FW20 she gave us a modern-day Alice in Wonderland tea party, and while there were plenty of abstract prints and clashing colors to choose from, our standout look was this utterly adorable Eskimo-style candy-colored coat. Now that’s how to make the miserable weather more bearable.

Rise & Shine

If leather is the grown-up take from FW20’s catwalks, patent is its rebellious little sister. High-shine vinyl and PVC have steadily infiltrated our wardrobes over the past few years, but rather than your classic trench coat or tote bag, we were given a new take this season. Rains, the brand that makes you actually hope for April showers, presented its very first on-schedule show at Copenhagen, having grown its following globally, and it did not disappoint. Models stormed down the catwalk to thundering beats, and the (yup, you guessed it) rain-proof patent outerwear was so good that we’re already dreaming of a sodden festival season.

Over at Stand, we were pleasantly surprised with the brand’s evolution. While its signature teddy shearling and fluffy faux fur coats thankfully featured, alongside fabulous oversized checked pieces sat high-shine vinyl and leather. Turning biker jackets from standard game to ’80s outsider, and making cropped zip-ups the centerpiece of the look, the brand made us a lot less eager for summer’s arrival.

Cadbury’s Colors

While we’re glad to see the back of the beige, sand and cream tones that were adopted with far too much zeal last year, there’s a new hue in town and we’re embracing it with open arms. Meghan Markle made waves when she wore a brown monochrome Reiss get-up to London’s Canada House last month, and understandably so. Less severe than black but not as feeble as beige, brown is the perfect autumn/winter color, and the dreamiest designer on schedule, Cecilie Bahnsen, incorporated it heavily into her FW20 collection. Coming in cozy rollneck knits and quilted scallop-hemmed skirts, sheer tees, and layered dresses, her pieces had us as sweet as Cadbury’s chocolate.

Copenhagen Fashion Week mainstay Baum Und Pferdgarten also presented sumptuous cappuccino shades, going for head-to-toe looks of brown riding boots, caramel quilted jackets and rust tops tucked into matching leather trousers. Go for monochrome à la the former or a tonal look like the latter – either way, brown is the new black.

Nordstrom Tackles Resale — & The Curated Collection Is Next-Level

Today, the go-to department store for Topshop, Brandy Melville, and Eloquii announced the opening of “See You Tomorrow,” a curated resale shop that gives shoppers the opportunity to buy discounted Ganni, Jacquemus, Acne Studios, Burberry, and more — all from the comfort of an aesthetically pleasing shopping destination (and bodega!) in their new Manhattan flagship. Or better yet, from home. For the next six months, the fashion-friendly collection, handpicked by Nordstrom’s VP of Creative Projects Olivia Kim, will exist on both the mezzanine level above her just-as-stylish Nike x Nordstrom boutique and online at SeeYouTomorrow.Nordstrom.com. 

“We know that many of our customers are already participating in some form of recommerce, whether it is through rental or resale,” Kim says. “They’re searching for more responsible ways to shop.” And since, in fashion terms, there’s nothing more responsible than shopping what’s already in circulation, it’s no wonder that the Seattle-based chain would embrace resale to fill that void. 

As for the collection itself, Kim and her team handpicked each and every piece. “For this launch, we went through thousands of items that were sourced through NQC (Nordstrom Quality Center), a facility where all of our returns and damaged product is sent when it is unsellable,” Kim explains. Nordstrom is known for its unparalleled return policy (basically you can return anything from Nordstrom, at any time, without a receipt), so naturally, NQC has a little bit of everything, including Thom Browne, Commes de Garçons, and Staud. “From there, all of our products are sent to be expertly cleaned, repaired, and refurbished.”

To add further incentive to shop, Kim called on Copenhagen-based brand Ganni to bring their Kiosk concept to Nordstrom. For “See You Tomorrow,” Ganni provided a handful of exclusive pieces, from blankets to T-shirts, made using deadstock fabric from previous collections. Shoppers are also offered the option to sell their pre-loved items in exchange for Nordstrom gift cards. 

“We always want to create an experience that is inclusive and speaks to the diversity of our customers, both in price and aesthetic,” Kim says of Nordstrom. “We want to inspire a sense of discovery and the hope is that we’re able to bring together an exciting mix that will allow customers to discover new brands while they’re hunting for brands they already know and love.”

Khloé Kardashian Is About To Revolutionize Denim

It’s no secret that the Kardashians have influence: Just check their nine-digit Instagram followings. But America’s first family of pop culture doesn’t just use their fame to sell lip kits and shapewear (not to say that we don’t want those too). They’re also known to push forward ideas that go on to make a real difference. Khloé’s area of impact? Shaking up the modeling industry with open casting. 

For those of you who aren’t in-the-know about the modeling industry, open casting is when brands allow anyone to attend a casting, rather than limiting the search to just models from an agency. Think of it as a grown-up version of the Mickey Mouse club, but instead of 9-year-olds singing and dancing, it’s real women (over the age of 14) auditioning for a chance to model truly size-inclusive jeans. And thanks to Khloé Kardashian and her Good American partner Emma Grede, the concept of real-world open casting is back en vogue. 

Kardashian and Grede launched Good American in October of 2016 as an answer to their own problems with denim. Their goal was to alleviate some of the anxiety that women face every day when they are not a sample size (which most women aren’t), but they want to buy a pair of jeans. In the four years since the launch, the duo has successfully done just that.

2016 was also the year that the duo first announced open casting with a campaign meant to act as a catalyst for the fashion industry to broaden its horizons. “With open casting, we’re able to give all women from anywhere in the world the opportunity to join the inclusivity movement and our #Good Squad — real women who celebrate and stand for the brand’s commitment to inclusivity, diversity, body positivity and female empowerment,” Khloé Kardashian explains. “Part of our mission is to show a diverse representation of all women in our campaigns. What better way to achieve that than to give our customers the chance to be cast?”

Open casting isn’t the only practice in place at Good American that is changing industry standards. The denim brand also joined a small community of companies that provide shoppers with the ability to see merchandise on all types of bodies, currently showing every piece on a size 0, size 8, and size 16. They were also the first to develop a size 15 in an effort to bridge the gap between straight sizes and plus sizes. 

“It’s one thing to represent women of all sizes in campaigns, but it’s another to actually show every product on-body in every size,” Khloé says. “This led to the launch of our sizing tool earlier this year after hearing our customers’ pain points when it comes to online shopping. We invested heavily in how we merchandise online to feature product shown on 15 sizes across 15 different fit models in sizes 00-24.” All of these aspects of Good American combine to create what the third oldest Kardashian sister likes to call the “inclusive experience.”

“In the past, designers have been hesitant to create more sizes — many times due to the lack of experience with a process that differs from the industry standard. That’s why at Good American, we hire a diverse range of experts to make sure we have the best fit and quality,” Kardashian says. “This is something that has been baked into our business model since day one, so now we are thinking how can we push the boundaries of inclusivity even further.”

Whereas a lot has changed in the fashion industry over the last few years, especially in terms of inclusivity, many brands continue to dig in their heels, avoiding extending their size ranges no matter the repercussions. Good American isn’t one of those brands. And given the fact that the company made $1 million on the day of its launch (making it the biggest denim launch in history), chances are good that Good American’s influence over the shopping landscape will help to persuade the rest of the industry to follow suit.
