Heliot Emil

Heliot Emil is a brand that was started by Julius and Vitor Juul, two brothers who decided to name the brand after their great-grandfather. Their pieces can be found on some of the internets most famous high-end retailers’ websites and they have even had the wonderful opportunity of unveiling a previous collection at New York Fashion Week, which I can only imagine how much attention this has attracted. This Copenhagen based brand is certainly making strides and this is exciting to see as their collections continue to shape a new and modern image of Copenhagen mens fashion for the world to see and get familiar with. Get used to this brand because you’ll certainly be seeing more of them at your favorite high-end retailers.

Caspar Morch

Caspar Morch, a graduate of Scadinavian Academy of Fashion Design, unveiled his graduate collection at Copenhagen Fashion week for the spring-summer 2019 season. For someone just starting out as a fashion designer, I was blown away by the amount of talent he exhibited. Using classic streetwear essentials such as a bomber jacket with ruched sleeves, longline tees, a raglan tee, a button-down shirt and a coat, I was pleased with the fact that he was still able to implement such phenomenal and geometric details in the construction of the garments. The icy color palette of blue, grey and cream also really complimented the pieces very well. This designer seems very promising to me and it seems as though YEEZY has some competition on the way or perhaps a new potential creative director. For now, we can only hope for more through his ig

HÆRVÆRK

HÆRVÆRK, a Danish term for vandalism, is also an appropriate name for a brand that represents youths from the streets of Denmark. Niels Gundtoft draws inspiration from video games, creating a collection that has a very anime characteristic feel. Really flamboyant colors like pink and yellow couldn’t be more fitting for a collection such as this. Somethings that this brand introduces to the conversation of Copenhagen mens fashion is biker shorts, a trend that has risen recently mostly targeting women. Key items from the collection include, over-sized dress shirts, a very puffy bomber jacket with (what seems like) shoulder pads, and a V-neck sweater vandalized with the very loud and flamboyant yellow and black print seen all across the collection. I’m looking to see more as they introduce a new perspective and attract a new crowd to the fashion industry.

Han Kjøbenhavn

This Copehagen based brand is only 10 years old, yet it has accomplished much over the course of its’ lifetime. Started by Jannik Wikkelsø Davidsen, this brand has pieces in really big fashion retailers such as Ssense, Urban Outfitters, Garmentory, and even Amazon . The collection Han Kjøbenhavn unveiled at Copenhagen fashion week features floral prints, color blocking techniques, oversized trousers short and big silky scarves. Some of the coveted pieces include sleeve-less leather jacket and another leather jacket and shorts with fleece sleeves and legs detailed with a tubular material that creates an abstract shape. It’s quite refreshing to see a brand take very classic pieces and create such a convincing collection with on-trend, yet classic pieces. If you like the new Balenciaga aesthetic you’ll definitely love this brand as its voice for Copenhagen mens fashion is getting a lot stronger.

Martin Asbjørn

Martin Asbjørn is another brand Copenhagen mens fashion brand that chose to implement a very icy colorway during Copenhagen fashion week for the spring/summer 2019 season. The very cool tones of minty blues and greens are very prevalent in the collection. It was also an exceptionally brilliant choice to add khaki brown to their color palette as these colors go nicely together. Martin Asbjørn attempts to create a collection that falls between the categories of sporty, casual and dressy, creating very laid back and effortless ensembles. At only 4 years old this brand certainly a force to be reckoned with as they continue to shape an image of the modern man.

Halo

Halo is a brand that was started by Helge Peterson, a professional soldier, who has experience with being in the Danish Special Forces. Apparent in the collection are very athletic and uniform pieces that draw inspiration from this Danish Special Force as Helge is very persistent in his targeting of athletic people who indulge in the training lifestyle. The collection features very loose-fitting and baggy garments such as sweaters, jackets, sweatpants and sweatshirts. The vibrant yellows and reds are visually assaulting as they harmonize with other neutral tones such as army green, black, and b’dazzled blue. I don’t only recommend this brand for athletic individuals but I also recommend this brand for those going for a more laid-back, comfy YEEZY-esque attire.

Antti Peltoniemi for Designers’ Nest

From my understanding, Designers’ Nest is an independent non-profit organization that held a contest at Copenhagen Fashion Week for upcoming designers to compete for a prize of $50,000 to jumpstart their fashion design label. The competition consists of designers from the top 6 Nordic design schools. One contender that really drew my attention was Antti Peltoniemi, a menswear designer that utilized glossy, plastic-like and also velvet materials to create a very innovative collection. The innovation comes as a result of creating patterns, shapes, and structures made of loosely hanging fabrics. This is evident in a jacket with a big green ruffle on one side going over the shoulder. Another really cool technique was using this same strategy of loosely hanging the fabrics to create a google chrome-like pattern. There was also these pants that were held together with two fabrics wrapped carefully around the leg to create a geometric pattern with parts of the seamlines separated. He certainly has my vote for the winner.

Bendikte Hansen for Design School Kolding

A graduate of Design School Kolding by the name of Benedikte Hansen is another designer that unveiled another captivating collection. This collection features very vivid white seam lines all across the collection. This collection is done with only two colors: blue and black, yet it still does a great job providing another perspective of Copenhagen mens fashion for the world to see. Some of my favorite pieces are the big baggy/puffy pants that quickly turns fitted from the knee down, styled with hoof-like leather shoes creating the likeness of a minotaur. Other favorites are the two kimono jacket with heavy detailing such as vivid, white seamlines and rectangular shapes. The pair of pants with huge ruffles on the side is also pretty unique, although I’m not sure whether this is a pant or a skirt. Regardless, this was a refreshing collection to grace Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Jens Ole Arnason for Future of Fashion and Designers’ Nest

Future of Fashion is a runway show held at Copenhagen Fashion Week in order to celebrate the graduation of designers from both Design School Kolding and The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. So this show consists of a diverse selection of designers with some unconventional designs. One of these designers is Jens Ole Arnason whose collection entails classic pieces altered with ruching and pinching of the fabrics. Worth mentioning is a jumpsuit with ruching from the legs to the shoulders then wrapping around the arm, creating a very edgy and avante-garde silhouette. Simpler pieces are a button down shirt with the same technique done around the shoulders and a blazer done the same. The styling was quite unexpected as these two later pieces were styled with very short shorts. This collection is quite unusual as this is one of the more unorthodox takes on Copenhagen men’s fashion.

Holzweiler

Holzweiler is a Norwegian brand that started in 2012 making just scarves but since 2014 they have expanded their inventory to also include a collection of pieces. Started by Suzanne and Andreas Holzweiler, this collection exhibits a very unique variation of prints and color themes. Numerous striped patterns with a variation of colors can be seen all across the collection which makes these minimalistic pieces more interesting. Some of my favorite pieces include a mesh blazer, a cargo pant and jacket with visible seam lines, knitwear and an oversized coat with a vibrant silky scarf.
