The Danish Edit brought together designers, fashion professionals and industry guests in Paris during Fashion Week, as more than 15 Danish brands presented their collections through showrooms across the French capital. The gathering highlighted the growing international presence of Danish fashion while attention also turned to the next Copenhagen Fashion Week schedule, with applications for the AW27 season closing on 6 October.
The cocktail reception was hosted during Paris Fashion Week by Copenhagen Fashion Week, CIFF, Dansk Fashion & Textile and Creative Denmark. The event brought together members of the Danish fashion community for an evening focused on designers, brands and the wider network supporting Danish fashion internationally.
The reception also provided an opportunity for designers and industry professionals to meet away from the formal showroom setting. With Danish labels occupying locations across several Paris neighbourhoods, the wider presence of the brands offered buyers, media and other fashion professionals an opportunity to discover collections and meet the teams behind them.
Among the Danish brands presenting in Paris were Anne Sofie Madsen, which hosted its showroom from 2 to 6 October at 127 Rue de Turenne, and Baum und Pferdgarten, at 31 Rue Chapon from 30 September to 4 October. By Malene Birger was also presenting from 25 Place des Vosges between 30 September and 5 October.
Caro Editions opened its showroom at 68 Rue Rene Boulanger from 2 to 6 October, while Forza Collective was present at Rodeo Agency on Rue des Renaudes from 1 to 6 October. Freya Dalsjo was scheduled at the 247 showroom at 38 Rue de Provence from 2 to 6 October, and Gabi Gamel at 47 Rue Chapon over the same dates.
Henrik Vibskov, one of the established names in Danish fashion, was scheduled to present at 14 Rue du Chateau d’Eau from 30 September to 7 October. Herskind was showing at Rainbow Wave Showroom at 76 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore from 2 to 6 October, while MKDT Studio was at Hands & Legs Showroom at Place des Vosges 26 from 1 to 6 October.
Nicklas Skovgaard was scheduled at 18 Rue Dauphine from 3 to 5 October. OperaSport was at 15 Rue de Palestro from 1 to 5 October, while Rotate was scheduled at 12 Rue Lincoln from 3 to 7 October.
Other participating Danish brands included Stel, which was at 17 Rue des Filles du Calvaire from 29 September to 4 October, and Stem, at 62 Boulevard de Courcelles from 30 September to 6 October. Stine Goya was scheduled at Arddun Agency at 9 Passage du Cheval Blanc from 2 to 6 October, while The Garment was presenting at Tomorrow Showroom at 3 Rue Troyon from 2 to 7 October.
The concentration of Danish labels across Paris gave buyers, editors and other fashion professionals several opportunities to encounter Danish design during one of the industry’s busiest international weeks. The showrooms also extended the reach of brands that may not have a runway presentation during Paris Fashion Week but still use the week to meet international buyers and media.
Attention is now also turning to Copenhagen Fashion Week’s AW27 season. Applications for brands seeking a place on the official show and presentation schedule, as well as applications for CPHFW NEWTALENT, close on 6 October.
The AW27 edition of Copenhagen Fashion Week is scheduled to take place from 1 to 5 February 2027. Brands are expected to be notified during the week commencing 26 October, while the brand line-up is due to be announced on 24 November. The SS27 show and presentation schedule is scheduled for release on 27 November.
For Danish fashion, the activity in Paris and the preparations for the next Copenhagen Fashion Week season point to an industry operating across several international fashion centres. Paris provides a meeting point for Danish labels and the global fashion trade, while Copenhagen remains central to the country’s own fashion calendar and its efforts to give emerging and established brands a platform.
The Danish Edit reception brought that wider network together in Paris, but the showroom programme was equally significant for the brands taking part. Across locations from the Marais to the 17th arrondissement, Danish designers were using Fashion Week to put their collections in front of an international audience while the next season at home in Copenhagen was already taking shape.
