Copenhagen Fashion Week has not only established itself
as a focal point for fashion and sustainability, but has also become a hotbed
of new talent, and for the spring / summer 2022 season it had to consider three
designers: the vision of the Danish brand Recycling (Di), a conceptual fabric
brand A. Roege Hove and Louise Ling Bjerregaard, a Central Saint Martins
graduate, focused on craftsmanship and sustainability.
(Di) Vision presents its SS22 collection, made from
widely used materials and vintage clothing.
Founded by the duo of brothers Nanna and Simon Vick,
Danish sustainable fashion brand (Di) vision has unveiled a complete Spring /
Summer 2022 collection made from recycled vintage clothing fabric, including a
classic work jacket.
The collection is inspired by last year, explains (Dee)
the vision in his note from the show, where tracksuit and homewear were the
casual outfit and comfort became a priority for many.
“The collection reflects the past year, but also includes
a time to come, hopefully a place for more kisses, hugs, flowers and patterns,”
say Nanna and Simon Wick.
This attitude led to a fun parade on the rooftop of a
Copenhagen car park, where (Di) vision unveiled its unisex line of reworked
nightwear and workwear with floral prints, patchwork, deconstructed details and
cutouts.
The collection ranges from XL jackets to skydiving tops,
sweatshirts, shirts, trousers, jeans and dresses, which the brand describes as
“casual” styles, and accessories.
Some of the highlights were the floral maxi coat with the
brand's signature zip that converts the maxi into a short jacket, and the
brand's signature bomber jacket with a blue and white botanical print. It has a
zipper closure. behind.
A. Rouge Hove makes his debut at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Every season, Copenhagen Fashion Week draws the attention
of an aspiring designer with her “talent slot,” and for Spring / Summer 2022
the honor goes to textile designer Amalie Røge Hove and her concept for
knitwear brand A Roege.
Hove studied textile strategy at the Royal Danish Conservatoire
of Fine Arts before working on knitwear for some of the big Danish brands such
as Cecilie Bahnsen and Mark Tan, and launched her brand to challenge the
knitwear tradition with a modern and artistic take on original craftsmanship.
... ... The brand also seeks to transform the perception of shape with
sculptural fabric elements created around the body.
This fifth designer collection underlines her love of
fitted silhouettes, bold cuts and sheer stripes. The color palette is
minimalist and neutral, permitting for jerseys, mostly black and white, however
Hove adds a few bright hues with neon pink and lime green to create contrast.
Sustainability is also at the forefront of this emerging
brand, with garments manufactured in Europe, Denmark, Ireland and Italy, with
much of it done to avoid overstocking.
“We believe that the fashion of tomorrow should focus on
its strengths, which is why we create two collections a year, and they only
cover the categories that we really believe in and the material that allows us
to create,” adds Howe. “It's about creating timeless pieces that will serve as
the backdrop of a wardrobe for a long time: the versatility of the garments and
the ability to wear them on top, bottom or individually create different looks
in every style, and we love it when our clients create them. own. versions with
our developments ".
Louise Lyng Bjerregaard Presents Fall / Winter 2021
Collection
Young Danish designer Louise Ling Bjerregaard from Paris
aims to blur the lines between ready-to-wear and haute couture with her debut
Fall / Winter 2021 collection, bringing together art, fashion and sedition.
A alumna of Central Saint Martins and the Scandinavian
language Academy of Fashion Design, Bjerregaard worked at Eckhaus Latta and
Anne Sofie Madsen before launching her namesake brand in 2019, making knitwear
a staple garment, along with sustainability through the use of standard fabrics
and adherence to zero requirements. ... waste policy.
In 2020, Bjerregaard received a two-year scholarship from
the Danish Art Foundation under the Young Artistic Elite program, and in 2021,
the studio was nominated for the final of the Zalando Sustainability Award
2021, but refused due to COVID-19.
Bjerregaard explores artisan techniques such as
deconstruction, drapery, trompe-l'oeil, recycling, tissue manipulation, and the
creation of his main womenswear. All products, as well as some fabrics, were
made by hand in the designer's workshop.
Highlights include matching intarsia knit ensembles,
customized corsets worn backwards, leather patchwork dresses and skirts, and
fine knit dresses with daring details.
“The first fall / winter 21/22 collection is an
intriguing hybrid of dark romance spanning decades,” explains Bjerregor in a
keynote note. “Crossing the line between ready-to-wear and haute couture all
the time and cheerfully, the collection was built around the exploration of my
mind, and this translates poetically into the universe of each garment.”
The collection was originally presented as an intimate
show during Paris Haute Couture Week in July, and was later converted into a
digital showcase for Copenhagen Fashion Week at the Art Cinema Charlottenborg.
