LONG LIVE FASHION ELSEBETH MOURITZEN Editor-in-Chief

Normally you would say that fashion and eco-friendly thinking are contradictory, as the industry is all about moving (fast) forward and creating the need for more new things.

However, within the last couple of years, a new buzzword has joined the vocabulary.

After years of talk about going green, CSR, and sustainability – terms that can sound a bit abstract, and perhaps lead to a collective bad conscience – the more understandable and easily acceptable word “longevity” is on the agenda: Clothing should last.

Sustainability has been a hallmark of Danish Fashion Institute for several years now, with the unremitting CEO Eva Kruse spreading the word through summits. Physical action has been taken with fashion swaps of used clothes – The Global Fashion Exchange – whose concept and execution was exported from CFW to Los Angeles last autumn. And it has paid off. Copenhagen Fashion Week is regarded as greener than any similar institution, and with more and more high-profile designers making a long-term commitment to changing the perception of what conscious fashion looks like, there is hope that consumers will no longer hesitate, but choose the wise alternative naturally.

A prime example of the longevity trend is reborn fashion brand Fonnesbech, which opened fashion week. They produce new but few styles for each season, in contempo-classic design from the perspective of mixing and matching individual pieces to make the wardrobe bigger than it really is. Most importantly, the clothes are made in long-lasting fabrics that – when the day comes – will be at one with nature.

The same thinking has entered the jewellery world, where fellow Danish brand Kinraden raises awareness through recycling metals and using diamond-cut wood instead of traditional exclusive materials. These frontrunners take green thinking to a new promising level, but the question is still what consumers are willing to pay for a better world in the long run.

In a recent opinion piece in a national newspaper, fashion academics mused over several new business models that are popping up around the world. Anything from renting instead of owning clothes to an advanced form of crowdfunding, where merchandise is not put into production until a given number of consumers have placed their orders on the internet. The latter to save money on transportation, retail and stock…

This solution will probably not be relevant in the immediate future, as it will cost jobs both locally and internationally. But it puts things into perspective. The thought of implementing longevity definitely sounds much more appealing and beneficial for all involved parties in the industry. Long live fashion!

CHRISTIAN STADIL Owner and CEO of Hummel, champion of fashion empathy, and honorary professor in creative leadership at Copenhagen Business School.

WHAT SUSTAINABLE PROJECT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

My colleagues and I are rather proud of our projects in Afganistan. From our long-term commitment to sponsoring the national football team, which has created an increased focus on women’s right to realize their passion for sports, to our co-founding of the Afghan Premier League. This effort has done a lot more that weapons could. It has helped create peace and unity across tribes and provincial borders, and inspired a more positive outlook, rather than death, terror, war, and destruction. Our latest contribution was a major sports event with 1,000 participating children, who were all equipped with Hummel balls and clothes.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WHEN WORKING WITH SUSTAINABILITY?

WHICH LINK IN THE CHAIN IS MOST IMPORTANT TO CHANGE?

To get people to understand the vision, both inside and outside the company. To make them understand that sustainability can create growth and a positive result, and that sustainable and socially motivated projects will raise the perception and awareness of your brand and company.

It starts with the consumer. A lot of impact comes bottom up. If the consumer refuses to buy goods that do not meet his or her criteria, I am sure that most businesses instantly would take measures to get the consumers back. In terms of production, the biggest challenge is water consumption, which will only increase in years to come, especially in connection with cotton. Luckily, though, it appears that fewer and fewer manufacturers are stupid enough to think that people will buy anything produced by child labour, if general rules for rest, working hours, protection and proper ventilation are not complied with.

CAN YOU PRODUCE FASHION WISELY WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON DESIGN AND QUALITY?

I think the business has taken a big leap in the right direction within the last couple of years, though the Rana Plaza disaster still reminds us that a lot can be and should be done in the future. Within our company, we have taken steps to independent control measures of chemicals, work conditions and environment.

3D PRINTING CAN ELIMINATE MATERIAL WASTE

Photo: Fashion Summit

According to Euromonitor, advances in 3D printing have now made it possible to produce made-to-measure clothing in printable and textile-like materials. The technology may very well be the key to eliminating material waste in the clothing industry.

NATURAL NYLON

GREEN VOICE

A 3D printer works from a set of geometric codes that are inserted into the printer’s system. These codes specify the exact measurements of the garment and inform the printer how much material it needs to create in order to make the garment. As a result, 3D printing turns the traditional production process on its head: It does not cut material; it creates it.

The world’s first jacket made from environmentally friendly nylon was recently launched by the exclusive Danish outdoor brand Yeti.

Rather than using conventional oil, the revolutionary material is derived from rinicus, a non-edible plant grown in drought areas. Its usage thereby does not strain fertile farmland.

Several fashion designers have already experimented with 3D printing. As an example, Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen presented a 3D-printed collection at Paris Haute Couture Week 2012 and 2013.

Together with the jackets’ design, the material – Next To Nature – has already received the Red Dot Design and Gold Outdoor Industry Award, equivalent to the Oscars for outdoor companies.

It takes more than a smart slogan and ecofriendly T-shirts to secure a greener and more sustainable future for the Danish fashion industry, says Rasmus Nordqvist, lecturer at Esmod in Berlin and a designer by profession. He’s now making his debut as a ‘green’ blogger on newssite b.dk, where he’ll be advocating for a broader commitment to sustainability among consumers, retailers, designers, and manufacturers.

MUUSE RENEWS ITS IDENTITY

SHOW AND SELL FROM DIGITAL SHOWROOM

At the end of 2014, Danish fashion brand Muuse changed its name to Muuse Projects as part of a new strategy. The overall vision is still to promote new design talent, but now the company wants to adopt a more international focus. As a result, 11 designers with different nationalities have designed Muuse Projects’s AW15 collection, presented at Paris Haute Couture Week 2015.

Last week, Tommy Hilfiger launched its first international digital showroom in Amsterdam. The move is a natural consequence of growing interactive consumerism and economic and environmental concerns, says CEO Daniel Grieder as the major reasons to skip ordinary showrooms with sample collections and print-to-order forms.

Inspired by new technological developments with touchscreens and zoom effects – often used in smartphones and TV weather reports – all materials are digital except for a few touchable fabric samples.

Tommy Hilfiger sees this as a step into the future, and plans to have all his showrooms transformed digitally within two-three years.

NATURAL BEAUTY

THE GREENEST FASHION WEEK AROUND

New modelling agency L’Agence, which opened in Copenhagen just last week, has a passion for natural, Scandinavian beauty.

This means that all model presentations on sed cards and portfolios are unretouched and without makeup. The biggest difference between L’Agence and other agencies, however, is its embrace of models shorter than 175 cm.

At the last biannual Copenhagen Fashion Summit, Vanessa Friedman of The New York Times declared Copenhagen Fashion Week as “the greenest fashion week around.” Proud to take on this label, this season’s fashion week sees more green initiatives than ever.

“Of course there are rules for preferred height for runway models, but when it comes to campaigns for jewellery or beauty, the models don’t need to have a certain height. That is why we have added a petit category,” CEO Sarah Rehman states in an interview with FashionForum.dk

Among them are two exhibitions hosted at Design Society on H.C. Andersen’s Boulevard as part of the Copenhagen Fashion Festival program, exhibiting sustainable designs by some of the leading Nordic and international designers.

The ‘New Nordic Fashion’ exhibition includes conceptual garments in sustainable materials, while The Eco-Chic Design Award 14/15’ exhibition shows creative, eco-friendly garments by some of Asia and Europe’s best emerging fashion designers. copenhagenfashionfestival.com

ORGANIC COTTON USES 90 PERCENT LESS WATER A new study from the non-profit organization Textile Exchange shows a vast difference in the environmental impact of organic cotton and conventional cotton. The main conclusion is that, compared to conventional cotton, the cultivation of organic cotton reduces the use of groundwater by 91 percent, energy use by 62 percent, and greenhouse gas emissions by 46 percent.

A GREAT DANE IVAN GRUNDAHL Time: 14.00 Place: The Stock Exchange Words: Moussa Mchangama

You know what to expect when you go to a Grundahl show. He’s not pushing new trends or making clothes for youth – his front row easily has the highest average age of fashion week (with all those stylish ladies, it’s quite fabulous) and he sticks rigorously to his aesthetics without a hitch.

The palate was based on a red/white/black painting by Kresten Havgaard – it was the cover of his look book – and the collection was held entirely in these colours, except for lavish and wickedly beautiful deep golden fox furs. To the eerie tunes of avant-garde musician Scott Walker’s song Brando (the music video is a crazy horror story), Grundahl’s vision of women in layers of black padded jackets emerged, followed by slouchy, cropped pants worn with black Oxfords.

A gorgeous blazer with the back and sides made of lace, a coat and a jacket in black and white chequered fabric, and a pair of loose pants in thin leather were all standouts (and all the fur, of course).

“I am down on my knees. A beating would do me a world of good,” sang Scott Walker, as the models emerged in constructed over-the-top A-line skirts, heavy boots, and high turbans and hats. It’s a shame more press aren’t attending Ivan Grundahl shows; even though it’s a (too) long affair, he is, after all, the only one of the grand Danish masters left. Yesterday, he truly showed why ‘master’ is still a fitting term for Grundahl.

PROMISES, PROMISES DESIGNERS’ NEST Time: 15:00 Place: Copenhagen Music School Words: Lotte Freddie “They are very talented, I think this event should be bigger – larger”, enthused Guillaume de Piédoüe, one of the judges in the Designers’ Nest contest. He represents Eye on Talent, a digital platform scouting talent for the mighty Kering Group – which owns Balenciaga, McQueen, and Stella McCartney, among other mega fashion houses.

“It’s important for the students,” said Jan Carlsen, the founder of the 11-year-old Designers’ Nest, “to be able to show away from their own school shows where only students and relatives attend.”

This year’s competition was a good vintage.

Especially the black men’s wear was impressive, with black sequins and jet pearls embroidery from Louise Egebro, Kolding School of Design, and futuristic flowing Batman-like separates with yellow accents from Diana Dovgialo, TEKO. They didn’t win, however.

First prize went to Rolf Ekroth, Aalto University, for a set in computer-woven turquoise/ white wool and a golden quilted padded plastic coat. The runner-up was Patrik Guggenberger, Beckmans, for classic long coats in camel and in black, and a black leather suit with an open-back jacket. And certainly worthy of the third prize was Sara-Lovise Ewerton, The Swedish School of Textiles, for her colourful and inventive design and fun prints – advising “Ninjabeat” and “Hardlasting Flavor.”

SAVOURY SAPLINGS The Designers’ Nest contest recognizes the best of new fashion design talent in the Nordics. The Daily asked three patrons of fashion talent about the significance of this year’s award.

EVA KRUSE, CEO WHAT MAKES A SHOW BY DESIGN GRADUATES SO SPECIAL? You see creativity without any commercial restraints, and the industry gets to see what the next generation has to offer.

AS A JUDGE, YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE COLLECTIONS. DID YOU NOTICE ANY SPECIFIC TRENDS? I noticed a lot of sealskin.

HOW DO YOU THINK THE DANISH FASHION INDUSTRY HAS EVOLVED OVER THE LAST FEW SEASONS? I think the industry has done a great job at maintaining a strong focus throughout the seasons.

WHAT DOES A SHOW LIKE DESIGNERS’ NEST MEAN FOR DANISH FASHION? It means a great deal for Danish fashion, because it supports and promotes the Danish design talents of tomorrow.

LINA RAFN, SINGER

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO SEE TODAY? I hope to see something that inspires me.

WHAT MAKES DANISH FASHION DESIGN SO SPECIAL? Compared to our Scandinavian neighbours, I think Danish design is a little sexier and a little more humorous.

BRANCHING OUT BARBARA I GONGINI Time: 16.00 Place: City Hall Words: Sille Henning

I was one of the few people who didn’t get the memo about wearing all black at yesterday’s Barbara i Gongini show. And maybe the others didn’t need to, because Gongini’s collections cater to a very specific audience. They are somewhere between performance art and fashion, and it can be difficult to separate where the showpieces end and the collection begins. But when it comes to Barbara,maybe the difference doesn’t matter, because somehow she succeeds in capturing the spectators with her dark and deconstructed universe.

That said, this season it seemed like the collection had taken a more wearable turn. Not only were there no wigs, often seen before, but the menswear coats were simpler. One outfit featured a pair of long, wide pants under a short top with beautiful detailing in the back, certainly something that could be worn by more people than the Barbara core. There were of course the oversized jersey hoodies, leather and longhaired knits that looked almost like fur, and lots of jersey.

In general, there were many interesting details in the collection.

Leaving the show, I heard several people praising the collection, almost unable to wait for its arrival in stores. So regardless of whether her collections are my personal idea of what is modern, she definitely hit a home run with her loyal fanbase.

NEW BEGINNINGS WOLFORD Time: 11.00 Place: Hotel d’Angleterre Words: Sille Henning

It was the first time showing at Copenhagen Fashion Week for the Austrian luxury hosiery brand Wolford. But that was not the only first. Before the show began, the audience was introduced to the new CEO, Ashish Sensarma, as well as Grit Seymour, the new Creative Director of Wolford.

Seymour was behind the collection showed, indicating a new direction for the label, which last year announced a cooperation with renowned fashion photographer Mario Testino.

The show kicked off with a lot of really nice knits, underlining that Wolford is not just about hosiery and lingerie, but also about selected clothing. The knits were kept in black, blue, and dark grey, and were some of the collection highlights – especially the knitted kaftan with a hood.

The underwear part displayed the new sheer lingerie, lots of pretty lace and of course Wolford’s well-known bodysuits. Not surprisingly, there were plenty of different stockings, including some really cool ones with black-in-black details and some with heavy embellishment.

DOLL IT UP!

NICHOLAS NYBRO

You have to get the not-so-subtle premise of Nicholas Nybro if you are to like his designs – otherwise it’ll seem too extreme, too costume-y. It’s all-in and often times he’s going beyond all-in and working with extreme fabulousness.

Time: 17.00 Place: Jupiter Words: Moussa Mchangama

Nybro caters to attention-seekers, which is why the nightclub venue was well chosen. Titled ‘A Doll Story’, the theme is that of a girl finding her grandmother’s trunk. It’s packed with old dolls, a nightgown and a stuffed bird (that inspired the print on the opening looks). Enter oversize and quirky garments for both sexes – ruffles and shiny rules. Fabulous pieces in golden-green sequins and a beautiful slinky purple silk gown were the stars of the show. Only time will tell if he’s going to last, but at least he’s having tremendous fun, thank god. When I came back to my car post show, the radio was playing Cher. That seemed only befitting.

FACT & FANTASY VIA DESIGN Time: 19:00 Place: City Hall Words: Lotte Freddie The design school that used to be TEKO is now named VIA Design. “We do fashion” the school prophesizes, a promise they tried to prove at City Hall, where 12 students showed their results from years of training.

Elements necessary to make it in a tough industry are connection, interaction, and knowledge, the school tells the graduates, maintaining that it supplies them with a solid foundation of education including the design process, craftsmanship, research and “sensible commercial understanding”. The last was not entirely obvious at the show. A lot of the styles, though sometimes imaginative and interesting, would not get any further than the hanger on a boutique’s rail – if indeed they succeeded in getting that far.

Of course students must be allowed to outlive their wildest dreams and ideas. But if they want to be able to make a living by clothing design, they must also be able to demonstrate an understanding of life’s realities.

Let’s face it – no one needs more clothes. If we splash out it will be because we are really tempted. By something utterly beautiful or something clearly sensible. There were examples of both like Agne Malisauskaite’s ruby ruffle-stitched organza dress and Lisbeth Solsø Nielsen’s fairy tale blue-and-white layered cape in contrasting materials. The same could be said for Henriette Jürgensen’s pale unisex architectural layers, Marie Christine Nielsen’s fabulous blowing red men’s coat, and Tina Havmøller’s shaved seal jacket and skirt. Combining both the practical and the beautiful was a swinging salmon-coloured safari suede coat, the skirt edged with a broad rose mink border. Agne Malisauskaite’s coat made the must-have grade.

DECORATIVE DARLINGS 21 jewellers met the press – and the Crown Princess ·– during the fourth curated showcase of the best established and upcoming jewellery brands, The Jewellery Room. Under the auspices of Goldmind and Danish Fashion Institute, the display spreads knowledge of Danish jewellery design concepts.

Photos: Helena Lundquist, Words: Elsebeth Mouritzen

REDUCED OPULENCE Sporting only high hair and no adornments, co-founder of DyrbergKern, Henning Kern, introduced the new style of reduced opulence with statement neck pieces on designer Gitte Dyrberg and marketing manager Pia Mia in hand-knotted crystal beads and stainless steel with crystal cabochon.

POWER OF PRESS There is no doubt Maria Black’s mind that press events like The Jewellery Room are important. Just back from Paris, she finds connecting with the press vital.

“Large-scale pieces are still trendy, but they tend to be simpler and more elegant. You can add more volume by wearing dozens of stainless steel bangles.”

PERSONAL STYLE EAST MEETS WEST

Mette Skjærbæk, former top model now CEO and founder of successful beauty company Karmameju, co-sponsored the goodiebags and showed off her personal style in jewellery. She has been a multi-ring kind of woman since she was 18, sporting everything from a solid rock custom-made in Antwerp and a Tiffany’s love present to flimsy diamond-bands from Goa and a fun Julie Hugau animal-ornament.

Half-Israeli Orit Elhanati combines Middle Eastern mystique with Nordic aesthetics, and in the short timespan of three years, her delicate gold jewellery has made her a darling of the fashion world.

Georg Jensen is a Danish design treasure, world-famous through 150 years for silversmithing, but since the takeover of a Bahrain-based investor, the metal has turned more golden. A spokesperson explained it is due to popular demand, but the designers based in Copenhagen still draw upon the company heritage. From the archives they have found inspiration in vintage Astrid Fog pieces that have been translated into the monumental silver collection Aria.

Crown Princess Mary spent a good hour visiting, exploring most of the exhibiting brands and asking in-depth question about craftsmanship.

She is known to be very fond of feminine, bohemian jewellery for everyday wear, while saving regalia for formal royal occasions.

Several attendees at The Jewellery Room noticed that the princess also follows fashion with several modern rings on her fingers.

“I work with emotions instead of looking at things that already exists. My recent collection is made from shreds of 18K gold imprinted with a conch found on the beach of Tel Aviv, to give it a natural, unexpected look.”

WOOD DIAMONDS Black diamond-cut Mpingo heartwood from the “clarinet forest” in Tanzania paired with recycled gold and silver are the ingredients in Kinraden, Denmark’s first sustainable jewellery brand, designed by Vibe Harsløf in collaboration with founder Sarah Müllertz.

DRESS YOUR FEET

“Sustainability doesn’t sell alone. It takes high quality and design aesthetic to sell the message, to generally convince costumers to choose eco-gentle products, but I think we have taken a big step with this collection, because it is understated luxury in the fine tradition of Danish design, says Sarah Müllertz.

copenhagenfashionweek.com

Since she is her own best advertisement for using cutting-edge feminine pieces worn with natural beauty, her new addition of fine jewellery with precious stones attracted a lot of attention.

Though she is wearing the popular neckring, she claims she doesn’t really follow fashion.

SILVER TO GOLD

FASHIONABLE FINGERS

By being accessible to the media, without having to think in sales at the same time, she can focus on telling stories. A prominent feature in The Stylist section of the British newspaper The Independent is proof of that, and has opened doors to important retailers like Netaporter.com.

Vibe Harsløf, one of Denmark’s coolest and most innovative jewellery designers, doesn’t limit herself to adornment for the upper body. Her fringed necklace tassel in goldplated silver or sterling silver are designed to be used around the ankle or as a clip-on for sneakers and other shoes.
