The biggest unifying factor between all the labels sending collections down the runway in Denmark's capital city this week is their commitment to sustainability ...

“It is inspired by the colors of nature and the beauty of the imperfect and decayed, something that we both share a common interest in. “Her empowerment, confidence and uniqueness is what I aim to convey through my collections.” In this latest line, Cropper looked down one notch on the family tree to her mother’s work. “It draws heavy inspiration from the cult war/military movie Apocalypse Now by Francis Ford Coppola, both in whole look and feel,” says Simon. “We love to work with pop cultural references for our collections and our Spring/Summer 2023 collection no exception. “A lot of the pieces from this collection are knitted on traditional knitting machines and hand-finished in our Copenhagen studio, and it’s also become a big part of our design process to use old samples when draping and creating new silhouettes. The same rules go into designing a collection or running the label, allowing us to make big decisions fairly quickly because we often have two opposite meanings and have to compromise on the right decision which works for us.” Sibling team Nanna and Simon Wick launched their brand in late 2018 with the goal of using deadstock fabric, upcycling, and other creative sourcing to create their DIY-inspired unisex lines. “We wish to take full advantage of the craft of knitting,” she says.

A Vibe Change Is Taking Copenhagen Fashion Week Beyond The ... (British Vogue)

Something raw, authentic, and new is happening in Danish fashion. Vogue looks at the vibe shift at Copenhagen Fashion Week as Copenhagen Fashion Week ...

“If we go back a couple of years then I probably would’ve said that Danish fashion is very playful and bohemian and colourful in its vibe, and that Swedish fashion was the opposite: minimalist white, black, grey. “It’s becoming more and more difficult to define the aesthetics of Danish versus Swedish fashion,” she said on a Zoom call. It’s important to note that the Nordic fashion scene is relatively young, and that it has always reflected the democratic values of the region (traditionally encapsulated in the ethos of jantelagen, which values modesty and understatement), and is expressed through a focus on accessibility and functionality.

As more nontraditional approaches to fashion are being welcomed in the CPHFW space, Wick says, "it's kind of what happened with McQueen in London in some way, where rebellion seemed to finally be accepted by the elite." Since its inception, Copenhagen Fashion week has been a hub for fresh creatives to explore new ways of design.
