Into the backstage of HENRIK VIBSKOV’s latest show at Copenhagen Fashion Week photographed by Ionela Bona

Inside a cavern of iron and mud, Han Kjøbenhavn turned fashion into ritual. Shadows, firelit curtains, and primal silhouettes dissolved the runway into something elemental—less show, more awakening. Ionela Bona tells us about it from the CPHFW. I rang the bell for the second time. Tunnelfabrikken, oceanvej 1, 27th of January. A big guy opened […]

The city is both modern and ancient. New and old converge in a dialogue in which neither argument invalidates the other. One essence is a continuation of the other and they fit together perfectly in the conjugation of Copenhagen as what it is, a city that captivates those who visit it, like the sirens with […]

It was dark and cold, but little did that matter to the people swarming around the doors, up and down. Someone said on Instagram it was like the Berghain waiting queue in Germany. A flood of people were disconcerted as to what or which was the access to the show in this backdrop far from […]

Copenhagen is serving up some serious streetstyle inspo! Enjoy the captures by Ionela Bona during #CPHFW

A. Roege Hove was the first show of my day. Located on top of the CIFF, you could appreciate two different dynamics happening at the same time; the brands showcasing in the showroom and the busy rithm of a fabulous show. Amalia, the designer, won Woolmark’s Karl Lagerfeld Award for Innovation in 2023 amongst other […]

It was it for the day in the #CPHFW official program, but I had a little show in town from a beginning brand, Sophia Khaled Witch and Fairy couture was pink, purple and sparking blue, some green here and there, and nice puffy shoes to pin it all. Quite a 2000’s and knitted-coquette vibe. Plastic […]

A long corridor, a wall of mirrors, and a line of hairdressers with make-up artists preparing the stars of the next play. A door in the middle opens up to the entrails of the Republique Theater, where you feel small facing the iron structure that shapes the seats.

The Finnish designer’s collection was going to be presented in a location a bit far from the city, and after leaving the bus stop, a promenade alongside some boats and water reflecting the twilight was mandatory.
