Copenhagen Fashion Week
kicks off today with an exclusive opening lunch at Copenhagen City Hall. It’s a short one, just four days, so no time to waste. Meet three powerful Danish designers that are changing the global fashion stage and learn what Nordic region is all about: trend-aware prêt-à-porter fashion.
Henrik Vibskov
You might have heard about him
already. Henrik Vibskov graduated from Central St. Martin’s in 2001 and immediately became one of the Denmark’s most famous names in fashion. Since then, he has produced more than twenty collections and his shows are much beyond just fashion. He’s associated with a multitude of twisted installations and art performances. “Panopticon And On”, “The Transparent Tongue”, “The Stiff Neck Chamber”, “The Bathtub Observer” and “The Spaghetti Handjob” are just a few of Vibskov’s recent shows. We got a chance to meet him in 2015 and it was an unforgettable experience.

Freya Dalsjø
Freya Dalsjø is a contemporary fashion label founded in Copenhagen in 2012. Dalsjø launched her ready-to-wear line after graduating from Royal Academy of Art in Antwerp and since then has been one of the highlights of the CFW calendar.
Freya Dalsjø is known for intuitive appreciation of fashion and art, she’s revitalising heritage techniques with a fresh, avant-garde approach to the design process. Yet, her collections are very wearable.

Ganni
Another of Denmark’s most established names in fashion, Ganni is a fashion brand headquartered in the heart of Copenhagen. Family-owned and run by Ditte Reffstrup and Nicolaj Reffstrup since 2009, Ganni creates versatile collections of playful and vibrant clothes. It pursues one idea: to create design that is not too tricky, not too fashion, just gorgeous.
Ganni designs four women’s ready-to-wear collections a year, footwear, accessories and lingerie collections. See more here.
From Vibskov to Ganni, there is much more to explore in Danish design. Anytime we get a chance, we will keep you updated. All collections from CFW are available at www.copenhagenfashionweek.com
Enjoy!
