Copenhagen SS22 fashion week highlights

The designers on the SS22 Copenhagen excursion set out to tackle the key issues facing the fashion industry in a calm, understated, yet impactful way. Sustainability is high on the agenda as the collection’s theme addresses climate change as designers seek to minimize their carbon footprint through smaller collections that incorporate recycled and natural materials. Longevity is also a topic of conversation with a higher focus on maximizing the durability and practicality of beautiful items that can last a lifetime.

By Malene Birger

A blend of signature minimalism and subtle bohemian influences, the Malene Birger SS22 offering provides a choice of soft, fluid silhouettes rendered in soothing tones and natural textures. Taking reference from the previous season’s collection that focused on comfort, tactility is key. Here, rough and raw meet smooth and sleek, as the sculptural leather is lined with raffia and linen in a soothing cream, cream and rust palette.

Rodebjer

Fashion for real life off-lock is the premise for the Carin Rodebjers collection. Soft watercolor prints, patterns and super-soft textures combine with military detailing and tough leather for a subtle utilitarian practicality. Sustainability is also at the forefront of the designers’ minds with recycled leather making up the biker jacket and reusing past materials and designs from previous collections.

The outerwear label reimagined the runway show for the SS22 with an audio-visual concept filmed on the streets of Copenhagen. Come Rain, Come Shine explores climate uncertainty, its related messages in the present, and how unregulated climate behavior is also a metaphor for life in general. The outerwear and apparel are lightweight, able to transition between different weather conditions, and are accompanied by bags and accessories in their signature waterproof material.
