When it comes to fashion week, we’re quick to look to the four key fashion capitals for the latest trend forecasts, whether that be in the realm of beauty, or clothing. Yet from Dubai to Berlin, there are a series of fashion weeks around the world that have become trailblazers when it comes to burgeoning trends, and it’s Copenhagen that’s at the forefront of this shift. As a city where style is characterised by minimalism and sustainability, this fashion week has seen labels such as The Garment, Rotate, and Zalando’s Sustainability Award Finalist, MWorks, grace the runway.
When it came to the surrounding streets of the designated venues, a series of attendees and their personal glam proved equally compelling. From sleek buns to slim headbands, below, you’ll find a handful of our favourite street looks at this month’s Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Dressed from head to toe in Andri Unnarson, Benjamin’s stylish counterpart looked equally sophisticated in her sage green pants and square sunglasses. With two toned hair and chunky gold earrings, we love this seamless blend between subtlety and playfulness.
From the classic black headband to chunky pearl necklaces, crochet bags and sleek bob haircuts, fashion week called for the re-emergence of summer’s timeless favourites. There were middle partings, gel-coated side-sweeps, and loose, effortlessly natural waves – ideal for the casual elegance that is ever present in and amongst Copenhagen’s bustling fashion scene.
If there’s one accessory that was set to make an appearance this August, it was sunglasses. By drawing attention to the face, we couldn’t help but take note of the plethora of hairstyles at play, from 60s inspired fringes, to the trendy, spiky bun that our favourite supermodels have been sporting as of late.
Whilst both laid-back and sporty, this gorgeous pair rocked denim in all its glory, maintaining natural makeup looks and simplistic hair-dos. Whether a long plait or thin baby bangs, when it comes to beauty, a little goes a long way.
There were suits and there were loafers, but there were solid silver chains and mullets too! Short, classic manicures appeared an inevitable favourite, but after all, we wouldn’t expect anything less in classy Copenhagen.
Slick-back buns took centre-stage on the streets of fashion week this year, often paired with a neutral, nude lip and gold hoop earrings. Appearing effortlessly chic in her tailored suit and small framed sunglasses, Emilie Billington was the star of the show.
