5 New Trends From the Next-Gen Copenhagen Fashion Week

The first fashion week of a new era has arrived. Last season, Copenhagen Fashion Week officially established itself as a trailblazer of the sustainable fashion movement. That commitment remains this season, but as the first event on the fashion calendar, the organization was also unexpectedly tasked with determining what fashion week looks like in the coronavirus era. After having attended the event three times in the past, I was confident that Copenhagen would be able to meet the moment—and it certainly did. 

Denmark has been frequently cited as a country with one of the best responses to COVID-19, so the fashion week team was able to proceed with a mix of in-person, digital, and hybrid events. Many of the physical shows took advantage of the sunny Copenhagen weather this week and were held outside with spaced-out seating (or no seats), including Henrik Vibskov, Helmstedt, Remain Birger Christensen, Soulland, and 7 Days Active. Other brands like Ganni and Stine Goya showcased their filmmaking and photography chops, presenting striking videos and images to reveal their new collections in lieu of runway shows. 

Copenhagen Fashion Week's hybrid format also allowed for more panel discussions to be added to the calendar. In particular, the event did not shy away from addressing the topic of racism in the Scandinavian fashion industry head-on. Actress Amelia Hoy hosted two days of talks and workshops addressing representation, consumer activism, anti-racist practices, accountability, and creating a charter.  All in all, the stellar runway trends that we've come to expect from Copenhagen shared the spotlight this season with filmmaking, photography, reflection, and digital innovation. But as this season proved, there's plenty of room for all of the above—and much more. Scroll down to see and shop the 5 trends that stood out to me from Copenhagen Fashion Week S/S 21.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
