After a period of exuberant, over-the-top fashion inspired by the turn of the millennium, the industry is shifting towards more restrained, feminine silhouettes. Here’s how I styled the trend, bringing together a mishmash of references in one look.

With Copenhagen Fashion Week AW25 in the rearview mirror, here’s a look back at some of the season’s most memorable highlights — plus what this fashion writer loved most about each show and collection.

For its fall-winter 2025 show, an ode to understated elegance, Danish brand Herskind sent a collection chock-full of reliable winter heroes in an array of touch-me textures. Take a peek inside the show, which took place during Copenhagen Fashion Week AW25.

In its first Copenhagen Fashion Week showing, Cmmn Swdn made its womenswear debut with an AW25 collection that explored the dualities of the creative directors’ heritages and backgrounds. Step inside the show, dubbed “In Between Spaces.”

Showing in its headquarter district in Copenhagen, Baum und Pferdgarten’s AW25 collection is a smart line-up of the Danish brand’s personal best-ofs. Get a glimpse into creative directors Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave’s mix of favorite things.

For its AW25 show at Copenhagen Fashion Week, Danish darling Gestuz presented a darker, more confident version of its brand muse. Titled “Don’t Bring Me Roses,” the collection turned an emotional break-up into a sartorial statement, imagining a post-relationship wardrobe that’s equal parts edgy and feminine.

Fueled by passion and inspired by roses, Danish designer Elisabet Stamm showed a succinct but carefully crafted collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week AW25. Take a peek inside Stamm’s whimsical garden.

Drawing on the idea of darkness, both metaphorical and literal, Finnish designer Rolf Ekroth crafted a lineup of sportswear-inspired looks — from track pants to trusty bomber jackets. Step inside the show, aptly titled “No Distance Left to Run.”

Titled “Doublages,” Danish brand Bonnetje’s fall-winter 2025 show lifted the partition between personal and professional identity with a corpcore-inspired collection that built on its DNA. Here’s a look inside the show, set in an abandoned office.
