There was a sense of joy in the air at Copenhagen Fashion Week’s S/S 2025 edition, brought on by bright sunny skies, dips in the sea, endless cardamom buns and a packed schedule of exciting runway shows and presentations to take in.
The roster was fuller than usual this season, thanks to CPHFW’s new ‘One to Watch’ scheme, which has offered support and guidance to three promising young labels (Bonnetje, Sól Hansdóttir and Stem) who each hope to change the face of Scandinavian fashion in their unique way. The longstanding CPHFW NEWTALENT program also returned for S/S 2025, an initiative that provides monetary support for three to five new designers per season. This year, those designers were Alectra Rothschild/Masculina, Berner Kühl, Rolf Ekroth, and Stamm, Frederik Taus (represented by ALPHA) and Sofia Ilmonen (represented by Fashion in Helsinki).
