The Best Fall/Winter 2024-2025 Denim at Copenhagen Fashion Week
Denim had a strong presence in the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 collections presented at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
In a lineup that spanned jeans with clear coatings to denim trench coats, Won Hundred revisited its denim archives for its 20th anniversary. “For this season, we are igniting the very heart and soul of Won Hundred, denim is the focal point of our jubilee collection. We’ve delved deep into our archives to reimagine iconic denim styles that were pivotal in our early years,” said Nikolaj Nielsen, Won Hundred founder and creative director.

The Copenhagen-based brand refreshed its classic slim-fit jeans with a more contemporary looser fit. This transformation is achieved by integrating panels from additional deadstock denim. The brand also introduced the Genoa, a gender-fluid pair of straight-leg jeans with a subtle boot cut.
Head-to-toe denim looks came in many forms. Skall Studio styled denim jackets with maxi skirts and denim button-down shirt straight-fit jeans. The same mid-tone indigo wash was used across the collection, creating a cohesive look.
Stine Goya showed a belted denim suit—a trend that was also seen during Men’s Fashion Weeks in Milan and Paris. Gestuz’s take on double denim included denim anoraks styled with cargo jeans and coordinates such as jackets and jeans with black beaded fringe.
Dirty washes brought a gritty look to some of garments by Vein and Won Hundred. The western also trend made its way to Copenhagen. In Munthe’s collection, wide-leg jeans were trimmed with metallic bead fringe and the maxi skirt was replaced with the denim prairie skirt.
Denim with texture made an impact in Copenhagen.
Designer Thelma Rut Gunnarsdóttir transformed a traditional craft like crochet into theatrical showpieces. Crochet-covered metal structures whirled around models. Crochet panels and fringe also snaked up the leg of baggy jeans and Bermuda shorts.
Texture and skin went hand in hand in Alectra Rothschild by Masulina’s runway debut. The Danish brand brand showed shredded jeans as well deconstructed low-rise jeans with stripes of waistband crisscrossing up the torso.
Other designers leaned into sustainable laser technology to apply prints to denim. Marimekko’s signature Unikko flower pattern was lasered onto denim work shirts and jeans for the brand’s first-ever denim line called Maridenim. Helmstedt’s expanded denim collection offered patchwork-print jeans, jumpsuits and short-sleeve trench coats. Some were adorned with alien and mushroom brooches.
