Won Hundred’s Puppy Pal
Each fashion week, runway looks are complete with unique and unusual accessories but Won Hundred took things to the next level with their showcase. During the brand’s FW25 runway, a model was spotted walking with an adorable pooch in arm — and we must admit, it’s our favorite fashion week accessory yet…
Henrik Vibskov’s Pre-Dinner Entertainment
Henrik Vibskov is known for his unique set design and affinity for theatre and each time, he continues to deliver the unexpected. This season’s showcase was filled with entertainment, from the uncovering of musicians to the dinner party setting — and that was all before we’d even spotted the clothes. Once they arrived though, they were equally as entertaining, fusing ’70s-inspired references with Vibskov’s keen attention to detail.
Baum und Pferdgarten’s Heartbeats
Baum und Pferdgarten‘s SS25 showcase was always going to be a tough act to follow, but the brand’s FW25 season did a pretty good job. While it wasn’t set in an outdoor sports arena on a gloriously sunny day, this season felt a little closer to our hearts — literally. Titled “Heartbeats,” the collection was showcased amidst a range of glowing red hearts and aimed to tribute free-spirited individuality. “Heartbeats is about capturing the thrill of what makes our hearts beat, the quiet charm of the British countryside, and bold, nostalgic elements. We wanted to create a collection that feels personal and expressive, full of pieces that resonate and inspire creativity in how we dress,” said the creative directors, Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave, of the collection.
Gestuz’s Message of Self Love
Gestuz opened its showcase with a visual representation of self-love. As the lights dimmed, a screen appeared behind the stage which brought us into what seemed like personal correspondence between two former flames. The text opened with “I saw you brought me roses and left them at my door. Please don’t. I can buy my own.” Self-assured, feminine tailoring sashayed down the runway, paired with leather co-ords, glitzy evening gowns and sheer separates. The show felt like a celebration of self, with the words “I like myself better without you” flashing up on the screen at one point,
ROTATE’s Oversized Furs
ROTATE’s FW25 collection closed this season of CPHFW, celebrating the brand’s “fictional muse.” Presenting its usual glamor through elegant evening dresses, extravagant outerwear and plush textures, this season’s playful silhouettes really stood out from the crowd. Oversized fur coats opened and closed the show, with structured, LOEWE-esque mini-dresses capturing our attention alongside hues of rich burgundy, bright red and “Foxy Brown.” Skinny jeans also made a return to the runway via ROTATE, so we fully expect to see more and more of those in our future — whether we want to, or not.
