CPHFW 2025

It’s about that time of the year again. Copenhagen Fashion Week concluded on August 9th and the fashion forward team from Marmalade Savannah are loaded with opinions hot off the press. Keep reading to hear our thoughts and what styling tips and tricks we should be taking from each show to help with your day to day looks. 

Anna Jara: Two of the best looks from CPHFW 2025 are from Baum Und Pferdgarten. Baum has always been a favorite of mine and this year they take that crowning spot once again. The Spring/ Summer 2025 show was called “Office Olympics”... just another reason to love them.

These two looks are seemingly very different, but both utilize the same base. That base being texture. An outfit without texture becomes flat and plain fast. I can't think of anyone that wants to be flat and plain so make sure you are utilizing the textured pieces in your closet to elevate your day to day looks. Whether that's letting the tactical surface shine on its own or creating texture with otherwise “flat” pieces. In the first look the sequin top is sandwiched between an adorable matching set. Making the “bold” piece look more uniform and casual. In the second look we see a long sleeve button up rolled up under a t-shirt and we see that beautiful sequin skirt. They could have just let that skirt have its moment, but decided to add another layer with the sweater tied around the waist. Texture can be a sequin or fringe piece or it can be created with simple layering. Don’t be afraid of texture, she’s your friend.

Evan Skovronsky: Out of the Munthe show came these elevated casual looks. Celebrating 30 years of Munthe, the show was inspired by seedlings. Being their largest show yet with over 600 people, Munthe showed the growth via crowd and collection. 

I love the cream look for its texture and layering. The detail of the floral quilted jacket and the overall simple design of the dress below make for an interesting visual. Layering a mesh tank is always a creative choice, and here they are not only playing with texture, but it offers some proportion and asymmetry to the oversized jacket.

I’m a sucker for denim, so this tie denim cargo bomber is just perfect. It’s a great oversized fit and the paneling gives it so much extra visual movement. Now the skirt, it's okay. Could've been better.

Also sorry everyone I am kind of digging the socks and sandals. It’s elevated enough that I think it works well with the overall design of the collection. Sue me.

Claire Barton: The first look is one of my favorites from the Munthe SS25 runway. Initially, it may appear understated due to its monochromatic palette, but it reveals a wealth of intricate detailing upon closer inspection. The shape, the texture, and the fabric craftsmanship make this visually interesting, while not being overwhelming to the audience. 

Within the look, in two places there is a clear homage to traditional Danish wear with a contemporary flair to it–the hair and the blouse beneath the outer layers. The inclusion of a ribbon-wrapped hairstyle pays homage to their heritage, while also creating a modern “wet hair look.” Similarly, a patterned blouse layered beneath a dress is part of a long-established cultural attire, but the sheerness of the garment brings us back to the current age. The blend of the old and new not only showcases Munthe’s innovative approach to design, but pays respect to cultural fashion heritage.

The runway design itself was also beautiful. It’s elevated, and like the collection–appears to be simple until you pay attention. The opening of the show played with light and shadow among the garments, with the first look literally lighting up the show. I think it fits the collection very well, with the set design uplifting the looks, making it clear to the audience what to focus on.
