With countless collective years in the industry, it's fair to say that Vogue Scandinavia's editors are seasoned experts when it comes to packing for a fashion week. It's all about knowing which hard-working pieces to prioritise, and which pieces will likely stay at the bottom of a suitcase all week long.
For next week's spring/summer '25 edition of Copenhagen Fashion Week, our editors are mastering the art of practicality and style with everything from comfortable sneakers, beauty saviours, and spacious packing solutions. See – and shop – all their fashion week essentials below.
