Fashion Month is up and running.
Copenhagen is quickly becoming an industry hot spot thanks to its biannual fashion week and a slew of powerhouse brands making moves throughout the Nordic region and beyond. If the Danish city’s Fashion Week’s latest schedule was any indication, the fashion world is set for quite a month ahead.
From established brands like Marimekko and Stine Goya to newer labels like The Garment and Alis, Copenhagen Fashion Week's calendar featured some of the region's top-tier talents. Some standouts included Baum und Pferdgarten—one of the oldest labels in the calendar—Cmmn Swdn—led by husband-and-wife duo Saif Bakir and Emma Hedlund Bakir—and editor favorite ÓperaSport.
As Copenhagen Fashion Week continues to gain steam, it’s hard to ignore the push these brands are having on the international fashion scene. With more presence than ever before in cities like New York and Paris, the Scandi set is ready to take its place in the global fashion stage.
Ahead, read our breakdown of all the best looks showcased during Copenhagen Fashion Week fall/winter 2025.
Polka Dots at ÓperaSport
ÓperaSport’s fall/winter 2025 collection looked to Art Deco design for inspiration. Founder Stephanie Gundelach and Awa Malina played with the juxtaposition of opulence and minimalism with rich tones of blue, black, chocolate brown, and green, styled in ways that balanced the two opposing forces. A black-and-white polka dot shirt, for example, was paired with a sleek satin black skirt, while a pom pom-trimmed ivory dress remained paired back up top.
Burgundy Tones at Birrot
Birrot’s commitment to everyday practicality was evident at its fall/winter 2025 show. The brand showcased a collection filled with timeless staples, such as cardigans, buttoned coats, shirting, and sleek trousers, in a luxe color palette of deep burgundy, cool gray, and rich navy. There was nothing stuffy about it, yet it still retained a sense of elegance that could take anyone from a day at the office to a cocktail party with ease.
Officer Sirens at Forza Collective
Forza Collective’s fall/winter 2025 collection played heavily with the contrast between masculine and feminine. Shirt-and-tie combos were paired with pencil skirts and colorful tights, while free-flowing, bubble dresses moved with ease on the runway. Other standouts include a top with a falling train on the back paired with a set of trousers, as well as a set of faux fur hot pants with a basic white tank top.
Bubble skirts at Baum und Pferdgarten
Baum und Pferdgerten—founded in 1999—is one of Copenhagen Fashion Week's most popular shows and it's easy to to see why. The brand's fall/winter 2025 collection included staples for every kind of girl out there: luxe leather sets for the more minimalist crowd, alongside plaid bubble skirts styled with mesh red gloves for the "more is more" set. A standout look featured a cropped navy peacoat paired with a lacy embellished black skirt and chocolate boots. It's the kind of outfit that makes Baum und Pferdgarten a favorite of It girls in and out of Copenhagen.
Corpcore at Cmmn Swdn
The Swedish contemporary brand showcased what it knows best: fashion-forward contemporary pieces for the everyday. The lineup ranged from womenswear suits paired with shirts featuring exaggerated collars to embellished fringed dresses worn over pants. The fall/winter 2025 collection flexed the brand's ability to elevate basic staples.
Elegant Capes at Herskind
There was nothing casual about Herskind’s fall/winter 2025 collection. The brand focused heavily on nighttime staples like mini dresses, mixing in daytime-ready sets that were elevated through the use of pillbox hats and fringed cape-like scarves. The ladylike sensibility throughout the collection was brought home through looks that balanced the best of both worlds: a mini dress with train-like detail paired with knee-high boots, for example, and an office-ready button-down shirt and skinny pants combo with an elevated cape coat.
Boho Comeback at Munthe
It was all about the boho and Indie Sleaze revivals at Munthe, where the collection transported attendees back to the 2010s. It’s a shared sentiment with the fashion industry right now, and one that brought a sense of youth culture to the lineup. Skinny scared, shrunken blazers, leopard details, and wide-leg denim were sprinkled throughout the collection.
Flower Power at Marimekko
Marimekko designer Rebekka Bay decided to stage the brand's fall/winter 2025 show at a 1930s building right outside the Copenhagen airport. It was the right scenario for a collection that dove deep into Marimekko's flower print archive, juxtaposing the extreme opposites of its whimsical aesthetic.
Opulent Glamour at Rotate
At Rotate, glamour was the operative word. Designers Thora Valdimars and Jeanette Madsen presented a collection that flexed the brand’s cool girl label, featuring everything from pom-pom coat dresses and sheer gowns to velvet sets. There was no shortage of drama on the runway, where the designers showed a mostly neutral palette with subtle notes of navy and red, as well as luscious textures, sequins, and extravagant takes on faux fur.
Bubblegum Pink at Stine Goya
Stine Goya’s presence in the Scandi scene is strong. The eponymous brand—now going on nearly 20 years—is known for its vibrant prints, ultra-feminine silhouettes, and fun accessories. And that’s exactly where the fall/winter 2025 collection takes its customers. Floral printed suiting opened the show, followed by more subdued versions. By the end, the brand’s signature dresses took center stage with a pink mini dress, paired with matching stockings and sheer gloves, stealing the show.
Skirts Over Pants at The Garment
The Garment lived up to its name by putting garments—their silhouettes, construction, and versatility—center stage. These are clothes made for today’s chic woman, who goes to work in her maroon pants and white blazer, giving the otherwise classic suit a twist with an asymmetrical skirt over the pants. She also wears knitted dresses, pillbox hats, and leather coats that offer an otherworldly twist to everyday classics.
