The Runway Edit
A front-row curation of this season’s favorited runway shows.
CMMN SWDN (pronounced “Common Sweden”) is a Stockholm-based contemporary fashion label founded in the early 2010s by duo Saif Bakir and Emma Hedlund Bakir (formerly Hedlund). In a defining moment at Copenhagen Fashion Week AW25, the brand debuted its first womenswear collection alongside menswear in an exquisite showcase titled "In Between Spaces." Presented against the sculptural backdrop of Thorvaldsen’s Museum, the runway became a poetic dialogue between Scandinavian restraint and Middle Eastern opulence—a seamless convergence of two cultures, two perspectives, and two creators.
Caro Editions is a spirited Copenhagen-born fashion imprint founded in 2022 by designer and former model Caroline Bille Brahe. The brand’s Spring/Summer 2025 debut at Copenhagen Fashion Week featured hand-embroidered cashmere, regenerative-farm textiles, and unexpected adornments like rhinestone buttons—all rooted in joyful craftsmanship and luxury’s subtle allure.
The Garment (or The Garment Copenhagen) is a Danish contemporary label born from a creative partnership between stylist/influencer Sophia Roe and designer Charlotte Eskildsen. The brand's Pre-Fall 2025 offering, inspired by the Fondation Maeght, features luxe fabrics like silk and organic cotton, striking a graceful balance between modern minimalism and wearable sophistication.
Stella Jean is a groundbreaking Italian–Haitian fashion designer who has redefined the boundaries of contemporary style through her unique visual language.For Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear, Stella Jean staged Aesthetic Coup d’État—a vivid, subversive dialogue between Eurocentric sartorial codes and the rich visual language of Haitian heritage. Crafted in collaboration with Haitian artisans, the collection reimagined Western staples through handwoven textiles, intricate beadwork, and folkloric motifs.
