6 luxury street style trends inspired by Copenhagen Fashion Week
For years the cities of Paris, New York, Milan and London have dominated the Fashion Week scene. While many other major cities also host their own fashion weeks, all have lived in the shadow of the top four.
That is until the past few years.
In case you missed it, earlier this month the city of Copenhagen hosted its growing biannual Fashion Week, filled with everything from a thoughtful take on AI and a catwalk lined with talking trees at Ganni to the surprise debut from yet another Hadid sister, Alana at Saks Potts to name just a few.
Yet one of the best parts of Copenhagen Fashion Week has undoubtedly become the street style. As attendees arrive to shows via electric car, bicycle or even scooter, the phrase “every street’s a catwalk” could never be truer.
Despite unseasonably cool August weather and rain, shimmering skirts, wall street style suiting and bright colors lit up the Scandi capital’s pavement. Giving us style inspiration that will feed us for months to come – Or at least until the next round of shows in the Danish capital come February.
From biker-ready moto jackets to feminine rosettes, here are 6 of the trends we spotted on the streets of spring/summer ’24 Copenhagen Fashion Week that will keep you looking stylish well into fall.
