Forget fancy venues and heels
NYFW is all about plush hotels, Paris champions iconic landmarks, but during CPHFW show-goers found themselves sitting in a car park to watch Caro Editions’ debut show, venturing to a disused distillery for Remain and scaling a former coal crane to check out the Stel presentation. While American fashion editors could be seen grappling with the ancient cobblestone streets in stilettos, their Scandi counterparts whizzed past them in flats and more commonly on two wheels. Yes, even the biggest Danish fashion stars cycled to shows. The Rishi effect seemed to have reached the Danish capital too with Sambas nowhere to be seen. Instead the footwear of choice was trail shoes from Salomon, Puma’s Speedcat OGs (especially in red suede) and mesh ballet flats. Cowboy boots were also culled (too Trump-y). Instead, on rainy days, the local trendsetters went for a motocross high-top or a simple cropped rubber boot.
