Refinery29 names butterfly layers, bixie

Refinery29 put two haircut names at the center of Copenhagen Fashion Week street style this week: butterfly layers and the bixie. In a gallery updated August 5, writer Jacqueline Kilikita said those cuts were the clearest hair cues emerging from the Spring/Summer 2027 shows in the Danish capital. WWD, L’Officiel and other fashion outlets published their own street-style galleries around the same moment, giving a wider view of the off-runway looks circulating during the week. ### Which haircuts did Refinery29 single out in Copenhagen? Refinery29’s August 5 gallery said “butterfly layers are taking over Copenhagen Fashion Week,” making that cut the clearest named trend in its street-style report. The piece also said the week’s standout hair included the bixie, alongside razor-sharp bobs, Koroba braids and soft layered looks. (refinery29.com) The article was built as a photo-led roundup from Copenhagen’s streets rather than a runway report. Christian Vierig and Edward Berthelot were among the credited Getty photographers attached to the images in the gallery. ### What do those two haircut names refer to? The bixie is commonly used as shorthand for a hybrid of a bob and a pixie, according to multiple hairstyle trend roundups published earlier in 2026. (refinery29.com) Trade and consumer hair sites this year described it as a short cut that keeps more softness and styling flexibility than a traditional pixie. Butterfly layers refer to a layered cut designed to create movement and volume, with shorter pieces framing the face and longer lengths left underneath. (refinery29.com) Refinery29’s Copenhagen gallery tied that look to visible volume and motion in street-style images from the week. ### Was this only Refinery29’s read of Copenhagen street style? L’Officiel USA published a Copenhagen Spring/Summer 2027 street-style gallery updated August 6 that said fringe, skirts and “funky headwear” were prominent across the shows. (behindthechair.com) Its photo captions and gallery framing focused on styling details seen outside venues beginning August 3 in Copenhagen. (refinery29.com) W Magazine’s street-style coverage, published August 4, said the season’s fashion crowd was leaning into “arts and crafts and eccentricity.” Vogue Singapore and Vogue Philippines also framed Copenhagen’s streets as a preview of next-season styling, with attention on layering, color and beauty details around the shows. ### Why is Copenhagen a useful place to watch hair trends? (lofficielusa.com) Copenhagen Fashion Week has become an early stop in the spring/summer 2027 fashion calendar, giving editors and photographers a first concentration of off-runway looks before the larger fashion capitals take over. W Magazine said the event runs from August 3 to August 7 and features more than 34 runway shows and presentations. (wmagazine.com) Street-style galleries matter because they capture how attendees, not just designers, are dressing and grooming for the week. In this cycle, several outlets used those images to point readers toward specific cuts, accessories and layering ideas rather than only clothing silhouettes. ### What else was visible around the shows besides butterfly layers and the bixie? (wmagazine.com) Refinery29’s gallery included razor-sharp bobs, sculptural braids and soft invisible layers in addition to the two named cuts. Other outlets’ Copenhagen galleries showed heavy use of headwear, fringe, crochet, lace and layered separates, suggesting that hair was part of a broader styling story rather than a standalone trend memo. (refinery29.com) Vogue Singapore said the spring/summer 2027 season in Copenhagen was unfolding from August 3 to August 7. That leaves more runway and street-style coverage still to come from labels and attendees before the week closes. (vogue.sg) (refinery29.com)
