GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN

2025 - the year of newness! As the AW25 season approaches, Copenhagen presents itself as an attractive hub for new opportunities. On that note, Oldstrom has created a fresh guide to Copenhagen from where to stay to where to eat - this is a must save post.

 

BAKERIES ON BAKERIES

Denmark is infamous for its first-class patisseries, and a trip to Copenhagen would not be complete without testing out their universally-loved sweet treats. The Creative Director of one of Copenhagen’s most renowned bakeries, Hart Bageri, says that; “There’s a deep connection between culture and food, especially baked goods in Denmark, and it’s a country that empowers you to enjoy a conversation with a colleague, friend or family member over a shared treat”. Here are our top bakeries you need to try:

 

EATS

Sticking to the theme of food, our next category is where to eat! Copenhagen is the Nordic city with the most Michelin star restaurants and has an up and coming street food scene. Not to mention the Danes are known for having some of the highest quality fresh fish and organic produce, making Copenhagen the ultimate foodie Mecca. From open-sandwiches to high dining - this is where we recommend:

 

WHERE TO STAY

We all know fashion never sleeps (but we do) and after the chaos of Copenhagen you need a place to rest your head. Oldstrom has tried and tested these boutique hotels and we can confirm that you will be in good hands. Explore places to stay:

 

FIKA:


In typical Scandi style, we had to include the best coffee spots to take a moment for Fika. Fika is a traditional cultural practice originating from Sweden that means to take a moment to appreciate life, check in with friends and family, typically with a coffee in hand. Copenhagen has a variety of first class breweries across the city, it was tough but we managed to narrow down coffee shops that are worth a visit:

Please do let us know if you try any of our recommendations. Happy buying!

SS25 TREND RECAP: A GUIDE TO THE SEASON'S MUST-HAVES

As the curtain closes on SS25 fashion weeks from Copenhagen to London and Paris, we’re buzzing with fresh inspiration for next season. With so many standout moments on the runways, we’ve curated our top trend picks that are set to define the fashion landscape. 

Romantic reverie

The boho-chic movement, catapulted back into the spotlight by Chloé’s AW24 show, continues its reign in SS25—and we're loving it! Think romantic ruffles, dreamy silhouettes, and light fabrics that exude effortless femininity. Simone Rocha, Loewe, and of course, Chloé embraced this free-spirited aesthetic in their collections.

You can find this romantic aesthetic in our very own Isabelle Blanche SS25 collection, where bohemian is woven into the brand's very DNA.

BLAZERS ON BLAZERS


Structured shoulders and exquisite suiting dominated this season. This trend took form through both oversized cuts and form-fitting styles alike. We saw that The Row, Saint Lauren and Nina Ricci embraced the versatility of power dressing on their catwalks.

For those who seek timeless sophistication, our suiting brand Sand Copenhagen appreciates quiet luxury, perfect cuts, and modernity. With its flawless tailoring, Sand Copenhagen is your go-to for sharp, statement-making suiting.

Butter yellow

The undisputed colour of SS25? Butter yellow.

This creamy, sun-soaked hue dominated collections from Loewe, Jacquemus, Gucci, and Paloma Wool, emerging as the new neutral for Spring. It’s a shade that exudes optimism, perfect for a season where authenticity and joy are at the forefront of fashion.

Scandinavian brand Bitte Kai Rand embraces this uplifting palette in their High Summer 2025 collection. Their design DNA is epitomised by relaxed fits, colour and soft, textured fabrics. Butter yellow never looked so effortless.

Chic shoes

Vintage-inspired slingbacks and pumps strutted down the catwalks, adding a touch of timeless elegance to SS25. Pointed toes and rich red hues were key accents in shows such as Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent, perfectly complementing the season's power dressing looks.

Emulate this trend with Kennel & Schmenger, a brand renowned for its craftsmanship and dedication to blending comfort with high-end aesthetics. Step into style without sacrificing ease.

Step into SS25 with confidence as you explore these runway-approved trends with our Oldstrom brands that offer a unique blend of timeless style and modern flair.

We had such a wonderful time in Copenhagen this week, attending CIFF · Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, where our brands MEIMEIJ, Isabelle Blanche, Edblad & Co, Campomaggi, BRGN and BITTE KAI RAND were exhibiting.

As well as exploring the trade show, meeting with brands and customers, and attending a showcase event hosted at the beautiful Dea Kudibal showroom, we also had time to get lots of style inspiration from the runway shows and amazing street style looks!

As our Director Caroline told Drapers: "It is very inspiring to be here. It is a melting pot of fashion – you get a full 360 of fashion [due to the trade show and catwalks taking place at the same time] and it is very inclusive that way.”

We can't wait to return to Copenhagen for the next edition of the show!
