When you hear the high heels clicking down the street you know it’s that time of the year again. Fashion Week takes over the city, keeping Copenhagen’s fashionistas busy with giant shows, trade fairs and the craziest after-show parties.
Three days of runway shows presented the new trends for Spring/Summer 2016 and one thing’s for sure: it will not be a boring summer in fashion terms.
Light colours (Henrik Vibskov), a lot of linen and leather (Anne Sofie Madsens) and long classical cuts (Ole Yde) conquered the runway and set the stage for a season full of classical, quiet elegance with a special twist– exactly what the Copenhagen fashion scene is known for.
And what would Fashion Week be without some new model faces? The spotlight was on Regitze Christensen – who walked for Lala Berlin – and Frederike Sofie. Both are young Danish models kicking off international careers who have been working for Louis Vuitton and Valentino.
And now that you know what you will be wearing next season, you can start counting down to the next days of inspiration. Fashion Week will return from 3-5 February 2016. See you there!
