Copenhagen Fashion Week: Its Growing Popularity, Vibrant Street Style, Designers to Watch, and More!

By: Morgan Smith (@muvamorgs)

 

It is officially Fashion Month, Bombers and Bombshells! February starts the fashion weeks from the major cities all around the world for their Autumn/Winter 2019 designer collections. This week, we witnessed Copenhagen kicked off the Fashion Month with its AW19 fashion week. Recently an underdog in the fashion scene, Copenhagen Fashion Week has been steadily gaining a lot of attention from fashionistas, street photographers, bloggers, and other fashion professionals. Maybe it’s because in between shows, the streets are filled with such vibrantly, trendy street style looks Or maybe it is because designers are sending such head-turning pieces down the runway. I can tell you right now, it is both of those things.

Copenhagen street style has a little bit of everything to offer. We have those that stick to the classy chic, those that like a little street flare, and those that love a bold haute look. Copenhagen natives like to bring Spring vibes to their style in the fall and winter as street stylers were spotted in bold, energetic colors. Jackets and coats are their go-to garment used to bring that pop of color. They are not afraid to go bold, mixing of prints and colour blocking were important street style trends.

5 Designers to Watch

Stine Goya

Based in Copenhagen, Stine Goya focuses on the frills and fun of femininity which is expressed through eclectic prints and design ways. Stine Goya’s AW19 elegant designs showcase feminine expression and empowerment through ruffles and peplum covered in sparkling glitter and polka dots.

Stand

Stand was founded on the idea of creating perfectly crafted and highly fashionable leather at attainable prices. Since its inception, the seasonal pieces have expanded from leather to more chic pieces like fur which is evident in the AW19 collection. Stand stays true to its leather roots while also playing around with fur alongside whimsical designs and prints.

By Malene Birger focuses on femininity while also offering a touch of playfulness and sophistication. Her designs are foster that simplistic Scandinavian feel mixed with classic Parisian chic. The AW19 collection fosters a true day-to-night feel for the stylish on the go woman.

Résumé  

Résumé is ran by two sisters with two different personalities which is then reflected through the brand’s simplistic yet trendy nature. The AW19 truly captures spirit of the brand’s spirit through uses of solid colors dresses to compliment bold colored animal and checkered print.

Black History Month on Fashion Bomb Daily: Willi Smith of Williwear

Today’s Black History tribute goes to Willi Smith (1948-1987), considered by some to be the most successful African-American designer in history.

Smith, educated at Parsons and Philadelphia College of Art, specialized in relaxed cotton creations. He began his own line, Williwear, in 1976 which, at its peak, sold $25 million worth of clothing per year.

Pantsuit by Willi Smith
Smith won a Coty American Fashion Critics’ Award for women’s fashion in 1983 and a Cutty Sark Menswear Award in 1985.

During his career, Smith designed the suits for Edwin Schlossberg and his groomsmen for his marriage to Caroline Kennedy in 1986 and also designed clothes for Spike Lee’s film School Daze.
Willi Smith died unexpectedly at the age of 39.

Black History Month on Fashion Bomb Daily: Ann Lowe, Designer of Jacqueline Kennedy’s Wedding Dress

Ann Lowe was known as society’s best kept secret…You would have thought her clothing was Parisian couture, but she charged much less to create the same thing. They all went to her for their debutante balls and weddings.”–Michael Henry Adams

Next up for Black History Month is Ann Lowe (1898-1981), designer to prominent families such as the du Ponts, Roosevelts, Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and Bouviers. Lowe is most famous for designing Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress.

Apparently the dress…

…took 50 yards of silk taffeta and more than 2 months to make.
According to an article in the Post-Gazette:

Lowe’s career began with the death of her mother when [she] was 16 years old. At the time of her death, her mom, a seamstress, had been working on four ball gowns for the wife of Alabama’s governor. Lowe finished the work her mother had begun.
Afterward, she moved to New York City to attend the S.T. Taylor Design School.
Returning to Tampa, Fla., after school, Lowe operated her own dress shop before going back to New York to work in fashion salons. Although her creations did well, the salon owners always got the credit. Finally, Lowe and a partner opened their own shop in New York.
It was during this time that a young Jacqueline Bouvier asked Lowe to design all the gowns for her wedding to Sen. John F. Kennedy, a man who later would become president.

Pretty cool.
A flute of champagne to the memory of Ann Lowe!
Smootches!
Have great wknds.
* Today is day one of Fashion Week. A ton of shows are going on, including Yigal Azrouel, BCBG, Nicole Miller, and…drumroll…Baby Phat! Yeah, well, I only have one invite for today, to Marc Bouwer. I’m excited to go to the tents, no matter what the show.
Guess my invite to Baby Phat got lost in the mail or something…
