This week, on the other side of the globe in Scandinavia’s style capital, Copenhagen hosted a very chic, socially distanced fashion week. Home to some of the best street style on earth, the lineup of collections didn’t disappoint. From Ganni’s ‘90s inspired concert ‘Love Forever’ to Rixo’s stop-and-stare occasion wear, the distinctive style of the Nordics has left us looking for our own dose of Scandi-cool. In the spirit of the shows this week, we’ve rounded up our favourite Scandinavian designers for you to enjoy from the distance of Down Under.
Rotate
Synonymous with their coveted evening wear, big sleeves, and daring hemlines, ROTATE is reinventing the best of the 80s. Founded by influencer duo Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimarsdotti, the brand redefines Scandi style with a sense of playfulness, drama, and vintage flair. Known for putting on one of the most entertaining catwalks at Copenhagen Fashion Week, you’ll want to be adding ROTATE to your radar.
Ganni
Easy to wear and effortless, Ganni’s pieces are the style investments that work back with any wardrobe. United by it-girls across the globe, the hashtag #gannigirls has become a movement of people whose personal style is a form of self-expression – confident, free and uncomplicated. With the celebrated launch of their very first loungewear collection, there’s never been a better time to march to the beat of your own style drum.
Rixo
Founded in 2016 with a vision of the wanderlust, free-spirited wearer, Rixo has become our go-to for the kind of casual statement pieces that get you noticed. With a mission to create effortlessly feminine and versatile shapes that become investment pieces, these are the new wardrobe favourites you’ll want to wear on repeat.
Remain
A perfect balance of desirable and contemporary silhouettes, REMAIN’s collections place an emphasis on wardrobe essentials. Think sleek trench coats, perfected tailoring, and dreamy knitwear, all crafted from carefully selected fabrics and materials, defined by a dedication to quality and attention to detail.
