Copenhagen Fashion Week has spent the past two decades growing from a regional trade event into fashion’s unofficial fifth city. Along the way, it helped define the Scandi aesthetic, pioneered sustainability requirements that have influenced fashion weeks around the world and launched brands including Ganni, Cecilie Bahnsen and Saks Potts onto the global stage. But as many of its biggest success stories move to Paris, what comes next? This week, Glossy international fashion reporter Zofia Zwieglinska is joined by fashion editor and broadcaster Natalie Salmon to discuss Copenhagen’s rise, the legacy of the “Scandi girl,” the evolution of Ganni, why editors increasingly prioritize the week and what the next 20 years could look like.
