From the moment I discovered Maria Nila Stockholm in April 2018, I've been entranced by Scandinavian beauty. My introduction to the Nordic region’s reigning aesthetic—“minimalist, clean lines, simplicity, and an effortlessly chic quality,” per celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena—by way of its Oribe equivalent also made me pay closer attention to Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Each January and August, the event’s street style doubles as my bi-annual download on the next major hair trends. Copenhagen is considered the official kickoff to fashion month internationally. It's the style capital of the Nordics, and it’s as renowned for its experimental, expressive street style as its women-first designs on the runways.
