Hello and Happy Friday!
I'm taking a break -again- from my regular outfit of the day posting to talk about Copenhagen Fashion Week!
It is officially on my fashion/styling bucket list! I followed the runway shows pretty closely! I'll get into them as well, but I really was entranced by the street styles!
I took so many notes and a billion screen shots, and honestly it has had me at such a creative high!
We are about to dive into it, so buckle up!

The first thing I noticed was actually two things; one majority of the looks I saw were very modest! The styles were oversized, maxi length, or heavily layered. And even a few looks that did show some skin were not overt. The two pictures below are prime examples. And truth be told, I was a little surprised mainly because we are still in summer and as much as I loved the looks I saw, they looked like they would be hot to wear! Then again, Denmark maybe a bit cooler, who knows!
The other thing that stuck out to me, but did not surprise me really, was that prints were coming in strong! Specifically polka dots! I saw them in SO many looks! Big printed polka dots, smaller printed polka dots, sheer polka dots, mixing and matching black on white polka dots verses white on black polka dots. Sometimes the print was paired with tougher pieces like moto jackets, or thick boots. A lot of times the print was paired with trench coat for a very chic look! There were a few looks where the print was styled with a long graphic tee, or sweat shirt, even windbreaker jackets! I saw a wide variety of styling polka dots. Which to be honest, is becoming one of my more favorite prints to style! I still love leopard, but there is something very versatile and playful about polka dots!
Another trend I noticed was scarves! Beautiful printed scarves worn as neck pieces, headpieces, used as belts, or tied angularly around the waist. They were fashionably tied onto bags -I saw that a lot! So, naturally, I am now practicing with my scarves to recreate and restyle some of these looks. What I really love about this trend in particular, is that there are so many different scarves out there! From the varying prints, sizes, and textures, so several people could do the same style and it would still look different. Especially, when you take into account how the rest of the look is styled.

I noticed there was a lot pairing opposite pieces. For example, I saw a few looks where a lady would have micro shorts on but it would be paired with a bulky, oversized jacket. There were a lot of structured blazers and or sweaters over more delicate pieces like lace skirts. There were delicate pieces like the lace skirts paired with military boots.
There were a lot of menswear inspired pieces! Oversized blazers, full on suits, pinstripes, the longer, tailored shorts.
As far as footwear, there were a few surprises in my opinion. Of course, military boots are not going anywhere, nor are the stilettos, however, comfort does seem to be taking over! I noticed a lot of square-toed heels with the chunkier, block heels. I saw a lot of loafers, and -most surprising- flip flops were front and center!
I really appreciate that comfort was certainly on display this week, because there is no reason you cannot be stylish and comfortable!

At the risk of making this too long, I did want to share a few of the designers' lines that I really enjoyed!
Deadwood: This line put me in the mind of a fantasy. The looks were whimsical at times, involving earthy tones and a lot of draping. Odd note, all of the models walked barefoot for this line.
Nicklas Skovgaard: This line was very feminine and playful! It seemed to focus heavily on hems and full skirts and giving them lots of movement. It incorporated a lot of pastels and delicate fabrics like lace and silk.
Cecillie Bahnsen: This entire line was all white pieces. Very feminine, very soft/delicate. There were a lot of sheer pieces. I really enjoyed this one mainly because of how beautiful it was. Odd note, all of the models wore tennis shoes on the runway.
Marimekko: And finally, this was my favorite! Lots of color, lots of stripes in particular. It featured more ready-to-wear pieces like dresses, sets, and rompers. It was a pretty gender fluid line. And each pieces was styled with Adidas!
Thank you so much for reading! Have a great weekend! See you on Monday!
