GANNI
Ganni’s latest show marked the end of the season by tackling a controversial and timely subject – the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). To add to the grandeur, the show featured a captivating appearance by the new-era supermodel Paloma Elsesser.
The influence of AI pervaded every aspect of the show, starting from the initial concept inspired by ChatGPT to a mesmerizing runway adorned with “talking” trees. The stars aligned when Ganni’s creative director, Ditte Reffstrup, crossed paths with the remarkable AI artist, Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm, known for her profound and philosophical perspective on AI. Collaborating with Cecilie, the Ganni team gave birth to a Ganni AI specifically for the show, seeking to manifest the spirit of AI in a tangible and organic form. Trees, being powerful symbols of hope and life, emerged as the natural choice to embody this AI presence on the runway.
BAUM AND PFERDGARTEN
“The city of Copenhagen is the inspiration behind this collection – a city that’s our home and a constant source of inspiration for us,” the designers, Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave said, “We wanted to give everyone a taste of this city and all of the things it has to offer.”
The collection reflected a diverse tapestry of influences. Prominent landmarks, the vibrant local community, eye-catching graffiti, and the picturesque harbour, playing a role in shaping the design choices and elements throughout the collection. This amalgamation of inspirations harmoniously merges to offer a tantalizing glimpse into the captivating spirit of Copenhagen.
STINE GOYA
Stine Goya unveiled her latest collection, appropriately named ‘Homecoming’, right outside her residence. Embracing the spirit of togetherness, models emerged from various houses, gracefully parading before eventually converging at a splendid dinner table that extended along the entire length of the runway. The collection itself exuded a sense of nostalgia, mirroring the sentimental ambience of the event. Stine Goya drew inspiration from delightful floral motifs, incorporating prints inspired by roses, daisies, and her beloved orchids from the neighbourhood flower shop. This amalgamation of heartfelt nostalgia and vibrant prints created a collection that not only celebrated the designer’s connection to her home but also captured the essence of the street-party dinners that define Copenhagen’s vibrant spirit.
