From my seat in the front row, Caro Editions' Fall 2025 collection skyrocketed in my rankings of the best of Copenhagen Fashion Week collections on looks alone. There were sumptuous plaid coats with coquette bow closures; '80s-inspired drop-waist velvet dresses; and glitter-threaded tweed heels and boots to match each one. Designer Caroline Bille Brahe described the collection as "free-wheeling" yet "self-assured." Combining heavy-duty outerwear and suiting with upbeat plaids in shades of magenta, royal blue, and mossy green, she produced a collection with "serious intent and joyful outcome." I wanted to buy it all.
Then I glanced again at the show notes, and caught another manifestation of Bille Brahe's serious-yet-joyful ethos. Those boots I was falling head over heels for? They were crafted from deadstock Chanel tweed.
