Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) turns 20 next year. And this season, the arguable “fifth city” of fashion felt like it was levelling up.
Spring/Summer is always a bigger season in the Danish capital, and if you speak to anyone during the January event, they implore you to return when the weather is better. It wasn’t just better weather: this season, the CPHFW schedule was more packed than usual, with 44 shows and presentations, as more and more brands from across the Nordics and beyond pile into CPHFW to align with its sustainable ethos and take advantage of its growing guest list of international press and buyers. For SS26, there were 71 guests, up from 48 last season.
