From week to week, our sartorial radar is scanning every fashion moment – from the red carpet to candid home snapshots – as served up by our region's top starts and style icons. Peruse those crowned 'best dressed' by Vogue Scandinavia below
This week, we witnessed a balance between the extravagance of couture and the understated nature of Scandinavian ready-to-wear. Why this mix, you ask? With Paris Couture Week and Copenhagen Fashion Week unfolding simultaneously, we found ourselves immersed in inspiration from both worlds.
In Paris, the Nordic fashion crowd embraced bold, refined couture with impeccable tailoring and innovative designs. Giovanna Engelbert captivated in a sharply tailored Schiaparelli coat, while Laufey epitomised effortless elegance in head-to-toe Chanel.
Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, the street style scene leaned into a more refined, everyday aesthetic. Janka Polliani made a statement in an edgy Miu Miu leather jacket paired with a pleated midi skirt, while the Moosgaard twins, Amalie and Cecilie, embodied classic Scandi style in neutral tones and perfectly tailored denim. A week of contrasts, yet effortlessly cohesive – proving that fashion thrives in the interplay between extravagance and ease.
