Copenhagen Fashion Week turns 20 this year. Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) was also competing with Paris Couture Week (running at the same time) for online attention. “For us, Copenhagen Fashion Week has offered a consistent platform where creativity, craftsmanship, and long-term thinking can coexist, while connecting us with international press, buyers, and partners,” says Awa Malina Stelter, co-founder of OpéraSport, which showed this season. “Holzweiler started in Oslo, but Copenhagen was the beginning of our international journey,” says Maria Skappel Holzweiler, head of design at Holzweiler. “It’s interesting to me, as back in the day, the brands that made Copenhagen Fashion Week were the emerging brands, and it feels poignant that they’re now making way for the new generation, and continuing to fly the Danish flag out in Europe and beyond,” says Ida Petersson, co-founder of creative agency Good Eggs.
