It\u2019s time to put your Qantas points<\/a> to good use because fashion\u2014and in turn, you\u2014are heading back to Europe.<\/p>\n

The \u2018big four\u2019 fashion weeks\u2014New York,<\/a> London<\/a>, Milan<\/a> and Paris<\/a>\u2014will always be a perennial source of sartorial inspiration, supermodel spotting and indisputably the place to be in February and September.<\/p>\n

However, a little further north from these cultural capitals, Denmark\u2019s established and emerging talents are proving why all eyes should be on Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

From August 7-11, the city\u2019s picturesque harbor, quaint canals and cobblestone streets will be taken over by the Scandi style set<\/a> for the bi-annual Copenhagen Fashion Week; the precursor to the lauded fashion month and home to some of the most inventive talents in Europe.<\/p>\n

Unlike London\u2019s signature grit, New York\u2019s edgy ambition, Milan\u2019s tradition and Paris\u2019 preeminent point-of-difference, Copenhagen is a bourgeoning home of luxury fashion, awash with saturated hues and boundless optimism for the contemporary woman.<\/p>\n

For Spring\/Summer 2024, a considered but impactful lineup of designers are ushering to the runways to present their interpretation of \u2018Copencore\u2019: an enviable aesthetic inextricably linked to the city\u2019s sustainable roots and penchant for spontaneity.<\/p>\n

This season, GRAZIA\u2019s senior fashion features writer, Ava Gilchrist,<\/a> will be reporting from the runways at Copenhagen Fashion Week, dispatching directly from Denmark the latest happenings in the highly coveted street style set,<\/a> backstage beauty notes and speaking to designers themselves about what ‘Copencore’ truly means.<\/p>\n

But before we get to all that\u2014including the behind-the-scenes looks at Copenhagen\u2019s most fashionable haunts (like the must-stay Villa Copenhagen), and delivering you the latest innovation in prestigious Danish brands like Pandora<\/a>\u2014we bring you GRAZIA\u2019s guide to the designers worth acquainting yourself with ahead of Copenhagen Fashion Week SS24.<\/p>\n

Ganni<\/h5>\n

It could be said there would be no Copenhagen fashion without the internationally lauded label Ganni and its army of maximalist-fashion adherents. <\/a><\/p>\n

The sustainably-minded brand saturated in an effervescent sensibility will no doubt be looking to top their viral SS23 collection \u2018Joy Ride<\/a>\u2019, which saw the brand unveil their denim collection with Levi and sit Ganni-girl Emma Chamberlain in the front row.<\/p>\n

Given that this is only their third IRL runway show since the pandemic, we have every reason to believe creative director Ditte Reffstrup will be upping the ante in her print and Peter Pan collar-laded atelier.<\/a><\/p>\n

Saks Potts<\/b><\/p>\n

Saks Potts is Copenhagen\u2019s answer to Proenza Schouler<\/a> in the way that the creative duo Barbara Potts and Cathrine Saks have forged a design partnership that has made them one of the most lust-worthy names in fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who aren\u2019t familiar, we only need to refer you to that iconic faux fur-trimmed trench coat sported by Bella Hadid<\/a> and Kendall Jenner as proof of their A-list clientele. While the brand has shifted its focus to recontextualizing the rosette\u2019s place in fashion, making sequin party wear<\/a> part of a quotidian uniform and redefining the capabilities of striped cotton, the sentiment remains the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Saks Potts, sensual dressing isn\u2019t just reserved for evening wear or special occasion. Their designs are a little flirtatious, never afraid to get naughty and always look good on a first date.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Better still, the label\u2019s collections always comprise of staple pieces that work just as effectively in the boardroom as they do at a cocktail bar or on the dance floor. The only accessory needed is a dirty martini. A cocktail<\/a> our senior digital fashion writer will no doubt have in hand to watch this highly-anticipated presentation from the ground in Copenhagen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Helmstedt<\/b><\/p>\n

If Alice had indulged in some magic mushrooms while in Wonderland, she may have found herself in the front room at Helmstedt.<\/p>\n

The LVMH Prize finalist<\/a> will make its highly-sought after return to Copenhagen Fashion Week after the brand\u2019s inventive debut during the SS\/23 season that felt like an LSD-fuelled fever dream in the best way possible.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something you can wear off-the-rack that can serve as a worthwhile addition to your curated capsule wardrobe, then Helmeted isn\u2019t for you. But, if you\u2019re looking to dip your toe in the realm of psychedelic wearable art, complete with abstract prints and campy nature-inspired designs, then this inventive brand may very well become your new favorite.<\/p>\n

Emerging from Denmark\u2019s oldest fashion house, Birger Christiansen, Rotate is the spirited uniform for the revellers amongst us who seek more glamour and luxury from their occasionwear. <\/span><\/p>\n

Underpinned with nostalgic energy, co-designers Thora Valdimars and Jeanette Friis Madsen have mastered the art of recontextualizing raucous party pieces once adored by \u2018It\u2019 girls at discotheques like The Limelight in New York and Lightbox in London. <\/span><\/p>\n

This brand\u2019s superlative instinct is making pieces designed to go dancing in, a fitting quality considering their SS\/22 show ended with red PVC-laden models boogying under a roaming disco ball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gestuz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaning into the ease and playfulness that Copenhagen style is synonymous with, Gestuz redefines wardrobe essentials with a rock\u2019n\u2019roll edge. Unpredictably finds its way woven into the fabric of the brand, with Gestuz\u2019s pieces elevating staple pieces with subtle enhancements.

The vanguard of Copenhagen Fashion Week is the conceptual knitwear brand, Paolina Russo. Founded in London in 2021, the LVMH 2023 Prize finalist fuses artisanal heritage with folklore sentiments emerging from contrasting upbringings in Canada and Paris from the brand\u2019s co-designers respectively. The result is an innovative blend of future heirlooms that subvert the idea of a familial \u2018relic\u2019 while staying true to an athletic-inspired discipline.<\/p>\n

Cecilie Bahnsen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Puff sleeves, voluminous tiered skirts, gathered silhouettes and billows of fabric are all traits synonyms with Scandinavian style, yet no one has perfected these staples more than Cecilie Bahnsen. Despite showing in Paris for the past few seasons, the brand will activate early in the week with a whimsical surprise presentation that celebrates its Copenhagen roots and honors the label\u2019s community of creatives.<\/p>\n

In between the sea of demi-couture details lining the cloudy-like front row, keep an eye out for pairs of Cecilie Bansen\u2019s sold-out ASICS GT-2160 as the shoes du jour<\/em> this season.<\/p>\n
