An exclusive sneak peek at A. Roege Hove’s AW25 collection ahead of CPHFW

Copenhagen Fashion Week is mere days away, meaning designers presenting their autumn/winter 2025 collections are in the thick of it. For A. Roege Hove designer Amalie Røge Hove, that means knitting. The slinky, body-conscious knitwear that comes down the A. Roege Hove runway is realised by hand in the brand’s Copenhagen studio, meaning the designer and her team are often working to the very last moment to get the looks together. Lucky for us, she took a quick breather to give Vogue Scandinavia an exclusive sneak preview of some of the most dramatic showpieces in the collection.

“We are focusing a lot on wool for this autumn/winter, which is a little atypical us, however expanding the universe and the language of our styles have been a big theme for me this season,” says Røge Hove. Though she won the Woolmark’s prestigious Karl Lagerfeld Prize for Innovation in 2023, the designer is best known for working with nylon. Drawing inspiration from German artist Franz Erhard Walter, whose large-scale fabric installations evoke the human form, the collection expands the ways in which the designer’s garments interact with the body – floating “a bit further away” form the skin to create new silhouettes.

There’s a certain mathematical alchemy when it comes to A. Roege Hove’s pieces, a factor that’s emphasised in the geometric squares that make up some of this season’s standout garments. This is particularly evident in a black dress that envelops the body, complete with a balaclava. “I wanted to play on a rib technique – when stretched it appears as small squares building up the piece, square by square,” says Røge Hove. “In my search of geometry in both technique and shape development it have been quite fun to work in different scales, with this being the smallest.”

The pieces needn’t travel far for the A. Roege Hove show, which takes place January 28th at 12pm; it will be held in the same industrial building that house’s the brand's studio. “It feels very much as an extension of our creative process and everyday work in a way. We have integrated this in the music as well, featuring the sounds of our different knitting machines,” says Roege Hove. “To create this sense of the process from machine to the body.”
