De accessoires van Copenhagen Fashion Week: Ratten, Labubu’s en scrunchies

The most discussed accessory on the CPHN SS26-Catwalks was undoubtedly Anne Sophie Madsen’s Plush Ratten Clutch. Inspired by the glass fibers sculptures of the Danish artist Esben Weile Kjær, it was shown in four metallic colors with glass eyes and had little in common with his running brown fellow townman.

Just like previous season, we saw luxury handbags personalized on the street with kitschy key chains. Months after they appeared on the Fashionistas bags, the Labubus of Pop Mart are still a popular pendant.

The Norwegian fashion podcast maker Janka Polliani attached a Lila Labubu with Chanel logos to her vintage Prada bag to give it some playfulness.

On another day she beautified a pink Hermès Birkin with a Japanese Monchhichi girlskimono hanger, with which she proved that not only generation Z wants to play the ‘kidult’.

A visitor to the show went one step further and combined a bag with another bag. In this case it was the small bag from Ganni, made from recycled leather.

One of this year’s most popular accessories, available at countless brands, from Gucci to Shein, is the dachshund key ring. This was attached to a vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy bag.

The Australian hat designer Lorna Murray is known for her hats of grass fibers that can be folded and stored in a bag so that they are easy to carry. Some tick users have the hats, when worn with the edge down, compared to the hoods that are worn in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’; Maybe a reference to a conservative background. A visitor to CPHN, however, wore Murray’s largest hat with the edge up, making it anything but ‘Tradwife’ vibes.

‘Cottagecore’ was certainly in the air, demonstrated by wrinkled ruffles, petticoat layers and trousers. This visitor chose to finish this look with a crocheted cotton lace hood with extra long ribbons.

Scarves were everywhere: on heads, to neck and waist. Under the chin knots of a headscarf instead of around the back of the neck can be interpreted as a variation on tradition.

The same can be said for the Scrunchie, for a long time to be moaned as a dated hair accessory from the eighties. He is back, albeit with a new sensitivity.

The ‘Yuppie with large hair’ connectations have disappeared, since the versions of this year are now associated with tight buns and ponytails. Not only that, users say that the soft materials are mild for the hair and, when made with recycled materials, are ‘sustainable’.

In the midst of all this playfulness there was a serious subject. With the eyes of the fashion world focused on Copenhagen, visitors ensured that the events in Gaza were in the front throughout the week. Model Jura unfolded a Palestinian flag during and after the Marimekko show.

A visitor wore a keffiyeh as a skirt;

While another had draped him over his bag.

In a more subtle reference, another visitor wore a group of hanging chains, including hearts with the inscription ‘Free Palestine’.

In short, both and next to the catwalk, Copenhagen SS26 showed a range of accessories with a sense of pleasure, without ignoring the tragic events in another part of the world.
