Copenhagen Fashion Week isn’t just about what happens on the runway it’s the entire city turning into a style stage. Cafés, cobbled streets, and even bike lanes become the epicenter for looks that mix Scandi minimalism with bold, playful twists. The energy is fresh, the outfits are daring, and the influence stretches far beyond Denmark. If you’re searching for inspiration or just curious about what’s trending right now, here are the standout looks you’ll want on your radar.

Bold Stripes

The first trend spotted at Copenhagen Fashion Week is the use of striking stripes, as seen on the Marimekko SS26 runway. Models walked in vibrant mini-polo dresses in different colors —think butter yellow, green and brown with touches of pastel pink. This look has a sporty vibe, thanks to the way sneakers are paired with the dresses. The styles ranges from fitted t-shirt dresses to spacious rugby shirt, designed to create comfort. Accessorized with knee-high socks, classic trainers, and oversized striped tote bags.

These looks comprise of straight, oversized button down shirts muted shades, detailed with small buttons while the trousers are wide-legged and fluid paired with simple sandals and understated headbands. The neutral palette—think navy, ivory, and soft beige—makes each piece look toned down and sophisticated. This aesthetic reflects Copenhagen’s everyday fashion: clothes that look as good as they feel.

Use of Vintage Scarf

Another trend spotted on the Copenhagen Fashion Week runways is the revival of the vintage scarf, as showcased by Baum und Pferdgarten for Spring/Summer 2026. Scarves are elegantly tied around the neck, lending an effortless touch of sophistication to the outfits. This styling nods to the unmistakable old-school glamour of 1970s jet-setters, yet the contemporary ways of knotting and draping the scarves make the look feel completely modern.

Knee-High Boots

One trend worth mentioning in the Copenhagen runways and worth adding to your wardrobes is the classic knee-high boots. On The Garment SS26 runway, leather boots in black were confidently paired with ultra-feminine mini dresses, tailored shirt dresses, and even delicate lace looks. It result in a perfect fusion of romantic and utilitarian style.These footwear can be just as stylish as strappy sandals or heels. The paring between mini dresses and boot makes the outfit look modern and classic.

Layering Fabrics

A standout theme at the runway was the layering of different fabrics within a single look, perfectly illustrated by Skall Studio SS26. Imagine your normal denim with crisp cotton, over flowing skirts, or wool coats with relaxed jeans. This creative mixing adds more textures and weights that gives every outfit dimension and visual interest. These runway ensembles layer polished blazers with casual jeans, or flowy pleated skirts with tailored jackets, at the same time still looking wearable.

What makes these trends matter is that they don’t just stay on the runway—they quickly inspire how people dress all around the world. Whether it’s adding bright colors, wearing comfy oversized clothes, or mixing different fabrics, these looks are easy to bring into everyday style. Copenhagen trends encourage everyone to have fun with fashion, try new things, and show off their own style.

Final Thoughts
Copenhagen Fashion Week once again lived up to its reputation. No matter your personal style, these looks make it easy to feel inspired and confident. So why not borrow a little Scandi cool and make these trends your own?

Rabanne has appointed Olivier Rousteing as its new Creative Director, bringing one of fashion’s most influential designers to the French house as it enters its next creative chapter. Rousteing succeeds Julien Dossena, whose 13-year tenure helped redefine Rabanne for a contemporary audience while preserving the house’s signature spirit of innovation.

The appointment marks Rousteing’s return to a leading creative role after concluding a transformative 14-year run at Balmain, where he became one of the industry’s most recognisable designers. Appointed Creative Director at just 25, he reshaped the Parisian label through his bold creative vision, celebrity relationships and influential digital presence, turning Balmain into a global luxury brand.

Announcing the news, Rousteing described joining Rabanne as “a tremendous honour,” paying tribute to founder Paco Rabanne’s pioneering vision and acknowledging the creative foundation established by Dossena. He said he looks forward to building on the house’s rich heritage while contributing his own perspective to its future.

Founded in 1966 by Paco Rabanne, the maison earned international acclaim for challenging traditional fashion conventions through the use of unconventional materials including metal, plastic and chainmail. Over the decades, the brand has remained synonymous with experimentation, craftsmanship and a forward-looking design philosophy that continues to influence contemporary fashion.

Rousteing’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Rabanne. Under parent company Puig, the brand has become one of the group’s strongest global businesses, supported by blockbuster fragrance franchises including 1 Million, Invictus and Fame. The fashion house now enters its next phase with a renewed focus on strengthening the connection between its fashion identity and wider beauty business.

His debut collection for Rabanne is scheduled to be unveiled during Paris Fashion Week in March 2027, offering the first glimpse of how he intends to reinterpret one of France’s most distinctive fashion.

The move also adds another major development to luxury fashion’s ongoing wave of creative leadership changes. Rousteing brings with him a track record of blending heritage with contemporary culture, cultivating a global audience through both his runway collections and his influential presence beyond fashion.

As Rabanne prepares for its next chapter, attention will now turn to Paris Fashion Week in March 2027, where Rousteing will present his first collection for the house.

The heat wave in Paris might have been overwhelming, but it didn’t stop guests from bringing their best. Fashion on the streets mirrored what was happening on the runways, with guests wearing similar textures, shapes and details.

Haute Couture Week, which takes place twice a year, remains one of the most exclusive events in fashion, with only designers approved by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) invited to present their collections. This season’s schedule included brands like Schiaparelli, Chanel, Dior, Viktor & Rolf, Iris Van Herpen, and Robert Wun, alongside newer additions like Standing Ground and Manish Malhotra. While some houses like Maison Margiela were absent, the week still delivered powerful presentations.

This week, Paris Couture Week for the Fall 2026 season officially kicked off, and on July 7, Chanel presented its latest collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France. In his second haute couture presentation for the house, Matthieu Blazy drew inspiration from a storybook tied to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, using the brand’s own archives as inspiration.

On the runway, the collection was a mix of sheer fabrics, rich embroidery, and bejeweled finishes. There were also soft, whimsical elements, from pearl-covered pieces and butterfly-like details to bold floral designs and statement jewelry, giving the presentation a fairy tale feel.

The front row featured a number of familiar faces, including Pedro Pascal, Elizabeth Debicki, Alexa Demie, Teyana Taylor, and Sarah Pidgeon, each bringing their own take on Chanel dressing.
