The Sandi city did it again.

The most anticipated Scandi Fashion Week Spring Summer 2023 kicked off in Copenhagen, a place notorious for its uber-stylish inhabitants – and it was a such an amazing fashion event where we could see splashes of bright prints, the clunkiest shoes, plenty of skin, and, of course, an abundance of glamour and style. Creative designers presented their collection at the vibrant Danish capital, unveiling bright and colourful collections that caught all our attention and made us fall in love with all the pieces!

This season for Spring/Summer 2023, the schedule boasts plenty of both established Scandi brands that presented their latest designs on the international stage. OpéraSport, Jade Cropper, The Garment, among other brands that were present at the Scandinavian Fashion Week.

The biggest unyfing factor between all the labels sending collections down the runway in Denmark’s capital city this week is their commitment to sustainability, a concept that Copenhagen Fashion Week’s organizers consider their core philosophy. “All industry players – including fashion weeks – have to be accountable for their actions and be willing to change the way business is done,” Copenhagen Fashion Week CEO Cecilie Thorsmark said at a press event when the sustainability plan was being rolled out.  

Below, check out the highlights from the Spring/Summer 2023 runways, straight from Copenhagen Fashion Week. 

The Garment – Spring Summer 2023

Sophia Roe and Charlotte Eskildsen presented their Spring Summer 2023 collection during #CPHNFW, which was both conventionally dressy and resort ready. The collection featured fringed crochet bra tops, matching skirts, keyhole details, knit slip dresses, etc. “I like the combination of something feeling elevated and feminine with a casual masculine silhouette,” Roe said in a message. “It’s the way woman dress here too, you will always find a Scandi woman trying to find the perfect harmony between those two.” She added.

OpéraSport – Spring Summer 2023

Fashion brand OpéraSport unveiled its first-ever Spring Summer 2023 collection during Copenhagen 2023 Fashion Week. It was inspired by the sculptures that adorn both cities while paying tribute to the current place in their lives as mothers.

This strong and sexy collection resulted in a soft colour palette of sunset pink and purple hues featuring tie-front cut-out knitted dresses, sheer puff sleeve blouses, ruched crop tops, long leather trench coats and a statement grey metallic quilted suit.

Rotate – Spring Summer 2023

Rotate presented an incredible collection that put everyone in the mood to party, closing Copenhagen’s SS season with a disco-themed dancing finale. For the season, the collection featured striking silhouettes, mixed with vivid colours and plenty of references to Nineties style and sheer, slip dresses and playful miniskirts. Fans could also try on the brand’s ‘Theresa’ flame dresses thanks to Rotate’s first step into the metaverse – straight off the runway, via augumented reality.

• Roege Hove. – Spring Summer 2023

Designer Amalie Røge Hove presented her latest Spring-Summer 2023 collection at CPHFW. The A. Roege Hove designer had an urge to dive back into old procedures and explore the systematic creation of material as the conceptual knitwear label took its modernist designs into ancient surroundings for Copenhagen Fashion Week.  “After a few seasons of moving forward, it felt natural to take a step back and look at my old work and procedures,” she explained. “I wanted to allow myself to create with no purpose and take the time to immerse myself in the details and the systematics of knitting, and by this investigate the possibilities and extremes even further.”

Jade Cropper – Spring Summer 2023

Designer Jade Cropper was undeniably one of the most talked about throughout the week. The designer presented his collection during Copenhagen Fashion Week and hit the week, joining forced with Circulose to craft each look and furthering the sustainability focused mission of CPHFW. The brand also transformed a shopping mall parking a lot into a runway covered in dust, on which models sported cut-out knit separates, denim dresses and more.
