CPHFW FW25 in 48 hours
Sophie Bille Brahe jewellery, cphfw Runway takeaways from The Garment, MKDT Studio, Rotate and more.
Please, welcome to my very first newsletter dedicated to fashion week and although I was only able to escape the office for one nights stay in Copenhagen, I’ve managed to pack my notes full. It is my second impromptu visit to this city (went to Opera Sports show last year), but always fruitful and so inspiring.
Stay:
Hotel Bella Grande - I’ve booked my stay very quickly without a second thought, but it turned out to be a good choice. Hotel is breathing history dating back to 1899 with an impeccable modern interior choices, it was a treat!
Food & Drink:
Due to limited time I couldn’t branch out too much and had my breakfast and dinner at the hotels restaurant Donna, which was brilliant. For quick lunch, I couldn’t skip Roe Bar, food is delicious, but it’s also combined with Louise Roe Gallery which I wanted to visit again since the last time. Her designs are impossible to resist and I have my eye on Metal Fountain Vase.
Wardrobe:
Travel look
After I took a mirror selfie, I thought to myself “oh that’s a bit dressy”, but actually it was one of the comfiest and simplest outfits I pulled off lately. It went straight into my daily office outfit rotation after I came back, just with a good belt added to make it more professional. I wore it with a very old pair of tailored wide-leg trousers, but actually would have wanted to have this Deiji Studio pair available back then.
Almada Label Sweater; Ani Jewels Necklace; Phoebe Philo bag; Hermes loafers; Lisa Yang Cashmere socks.
1st Look
Copenhagen was absolutely freezing, and so I brought with me warmest wool coat I owe (similar here), but I wish I would’ve layered even more.
The Frankie Shop Nicola coat - sold out - similar here; Skall Studio shirt; The Frakie shop leather skirt; Dehanche Undone corset worn as a belt; Khaite Nevada boots; Agmes studio necklace.
2nd look
Hyde and stone dress; Nevada boots; Alaia bag and some of my favourites from by Terry make up line: mascara; browliner; browgel; cream eyeshadow; hyaluronic serum concealer (this one is amazing for more mature skin, best concealer I’ve ever used so far).
Takeaways
Sophie Bille Brahe presentation; If I wasn’t invested in diamonds & pearls before (the only diamond piece I wear and owe is my engagement ring), I do now. Blown away by Sophie Billie Brahe designs, mainly because they do appeal for everyday as well as occasion wear and are still fairly niche, I’ve added Nuage de Tennis necklace into my grown up, milestone, forever piece purchase wishlist. But also Petite Peggy pearls to sooner purchase list, as well as this pearl bracelet.
Sophie Billie Brahe’s Copenhagen Studio was just as impressive as her jewellery work and I would highly recommend to visit in person if planning the purchase (they also have one in NYC, I’m itching to visit).
There were few other creations that I couldn’t walk past Jewellery box; Travel jewellery box; Cellophane Vase (I feel like I should make a list of vases, since I reach for them unintentionally).
Rotate Runway; I can see myself wrapped in this coat with nice pair of jeans next winter and there was a short version of it too. And the dress, well it speaks for itself.
At Munthe I was left wondering if it was a tattoo around models torso or cleverly layered underwear.
Lie Studio presentation; Martha earrings have been living in my head since I first saw them.
The Garment have not fallen short from minimalism perfection for me.
Taking winter tailoring notes from MKDT Studio and slowly putting together my office wardrobe for next fall in my mind.
Lastly, Nicklas Skovgaard gave us art.
Speak soon,
