Copenhagen Hosts First Physical Runway Show
Copenhagen is hosting its first physical runway show amid the pandemic. The event will be invitation-only to editors from London, Paris, or Stockholm. The fashion event will provide masks to its guests and practice social distancing within the space. The event will also experiment with a hybrid format – combining physical shows and Q&As, and digital displays, known as ‘phygital.’
The three-day event featured bright colors, bold prints, and promoted designers with sustainable practices. The fashion week aims to be 100% waste-free by 2022, and will continue to incorporate its ‘phygital’ format into its events.
