Copenhagen Fashion Week: These were the fashion highlights from Denmark

Copenhagen was once again the centre of the fashion world this week, as Fashion Week took place here from August 5th to 8th. Various brands put on impressive shows to showcase their collections for spring and summer 2025. People travelled from all over the world to see the fashion highlights of the Danish city.

What makes Copenhagen Fashion Week special?

The main organizer of Copenhagen Fashion Week is Cecilie Thorsmark and for her it is also about reaching a wider audience. For her it is “to convey the message that fashion weeks and thus the fashion industry are not just about glamour, shows, influence and front-row culture, but about a complete, diverse range of aesthetic and conversation-related things”. Overall, the topic of sustainability is also a focus at Fashion Week in the Danish capital.

Bright floral colors and ruffles

The first day already brought with it some fashion highlights and the OpéraSport brand made a fitting start. In keeping with its name, the show took place in the Opera Park and the sunny location right on the water further underlined the collection.

Timeless yet modern fashion was presented, presenting a perfect balance between everyday life and extravagance. Bright floral colors were combined with creative prints. Feminine leather accessories such as floral lace-up belts or cowboy boots further enhanced the outfits.

At the heart of the clothing is a feeling of movement and fluidity. Earthy colors were often combined with deep blue accents. In addition to the structured silhouettes, the new collection also increasingly features voluminous skirts.

Evolution instead of revolution

A collection that perfectly embodied the classic and timeless Scandi style was that of fashion designer Frederik Berner Kühl. His mantra is: “Evolution instead of revolution.” He focuses on men’s fashion and has made it his mission to develop it in interesting ways.

For his show on the second day of Fashion Week, he opted for a simple color palette with lots of black and white. The special thing was the carefully chosen details, such as zippers that were worked inside out.

Office and sport combined

The Baum und Pferdegarten brand transformed the athletics track of the Østerbro Stadium into a catwalk for its show. The Summer Olympics were reflected in its “Office Olympics” collection. Some of the pieces seamlessly transitioned into sporty dimensions: football-inspired tops, streamlined tracksuits and sports socks were on display –
