9 Copenhagen Fashion Week SS2023 Designer Highlights to Know

Likely the most widely recognized brand to come out of Copenhagen in recent years, Ganni’s known for a good time. This season was no different. The brand, run by husband-and-wife team Nicolaj and Ditte Reffstrup, presented its “Joyride” Spring 2023 collection at sunset at the Ofelia Plads, the open-air harbor front that overlooks the Danish Opera House and the Royal Palace. It was complete with all the brand’s fan-favorites: denim separates modernized with wider fits, babydoll dresses in bright hues, sporty silhouettes in leopard print.

But this season, Ganni welcomed moody twists with tailored evening wear—the finale look was a trend-forward chainlink-style silver mesh dress, worn with an open blazer and high-waisted underwear.

“We called the collection Joyride because really, it’s about Copenhagen being the place where our heart is,” Ditte Reffstrup wrote on Instagram. “There’s a feeling about being in the city in summertime that I can’t quite explain, the energy is pulsing, it really gets your beat going.”

This collection included Ganni’s third collaboration with sustainable Icelandic heritage brand 66°NORTH, known for making clothing for extreme weather out of used fabric rolls and recycled materials. In more eco-conscious innovation, other apparel styles were made from a breakthrough textile waste regeneration technology, Infinna, while some footwear used Vegea, a material made of grape skins leftover from wine production.
