Copenhagen Fashion Week is a bi-annual highlight on our fashion calendar, showcasing the best in iconic Scandinavian design—think minimalism and clean lines coupled with a beautiful bohemian feel.  

So far, this week’s Spring/Summer 2022 unveilings are vibrant and chic, and the street style is equally inspiring.

3. THE ICONIC's adaptive edit

THE ICONIC’s adaptive edit has launched, featuring clothing to better serve the needs of differently-abled adults and children. All clothing in the edit prioritises functional style and ease of dressing, including thoughtful closures, seated-wear solutions and comfortable fits for prosthetics. 

Grace Stratton, founder of accessible fashion movement All Is For All, comments, “this new edit is an important step forward in the journey to uplift the disabled experience. It makes a phenomenal difference in people’s lives and perceptions to see disability meaningfully represented on a platform like THE ICONIC. This Edit represents an opportunity for more people to understand and embrace the beauty of disability, and experience the ease enabled by adaptive fashion.”

4. Dermalogica PowerBright Moisturiser

Dark spots can be a tell-tale sign of ageing, and unfortunately, they’re one of the hardest things to get rid of. Thankfully, Dermalogica has launched the Powerbright Moisturiser SPF50, $124, which helps target hyperpigmentation while working to significantly improve your skin tone.

This latest offering uses niacinamide to reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation—and a whole slew of other ingredients—so your face will also be soothed and hydrated.

5. New exhibition to showcase Mary Quant
