Copenhagen Fashion Week doesn’t get as much press as it’s bigger name counterparts, but the collections that showcase there definitely deserve as much love. As the city plays host to the Nordic Region’s largest fashion events, there’s such a huge variety of styles shown over its duration. However one thing present in all of the collections is a the region’s unique take on design.
Above are four of my favourite collections from the A/W14 season and as always the use of layering, marriage of menswear and ladylike cuts, and strikingly simple but ‘forever classic’ pieces are what makes the looks during Copenhagen Fashion Week some of the most translatable designer collections to wear.
If you want to get on board with the trends from the shows early – and why wouldn’t you, with the weather the state it is at the moment! – , I’ve picked out a couple of my favourites from here, there and everywhere to help you get on your way.
Fisherman’s Jumper, ASOS | Leather Look Trousers, H&M | Leather Brogues, ASOS | Orange Boyfriend Coat, Topshop | Colour Blocked Sweater, Uniqlo | Grey Trousers, Zara | Oversized Black Coat, Nasty Gal | Knee-high Boots, ASOS | Black Tunic Dress, New Look | White Blouse, Pull & Bear
Look out for oversized knits, structured boyfriend coats, leather detailing, rustic toned footwear, menswear tailoring, dark earthy hues but accompanied by occasional pop of colour.
Thoughts on Copenhagen Fashion Week? Is it on par with it’s big flashy counterparts?
