Five standout shows from Copenhagen Fashion Week SS19
After a couple of days wondering the cobbled streets in Denmark’s capital stylish attendees embraced a playful aesthetic; a bit Parisian, with a colourful palette of pastels and retro garments brought into a whole new context. Check out our edit below of the labels that caught our eye this season.
For fans of… Calvin Klein’s neo Americana
Why we loved it… Jens Werner is the creative director breathing new life into J.Lindeberg, uniting sports luxe and street tailoring. “The styling was very personal,” Werner tells us backstage. “I was inspired by the clash of tradition and tech. It was the first full collection I was able to put my touch on and everything I would like to wear myself.” This season he showcased a varied mix of evening-wear, unisex suiting and elevated skatewear with photo prints from Nigerian-born Davey Adesida, a “photographer pretty unknown – he’s been living in New York I wanted to see America through his lens as an outsider.”

Why we loved it…Glam-grunge meets survival gear, GANNI’s cool-clashings included their signature slip dresses paired with hiking boots to practical fleeces and tie-dye outerwear. “For me this season was about chasing a feeling,” says Ditte Reffstrup, Creative Director at GANNI. “Of being outside at sunset, barefoot on the grass listening to dogs bark and friends cooking and laughing around the fire. It’s about being in nature with friends.”
