Street-style hair at Copenhagen Fashion Week spotlights butterfly and bixie cuts

Refinery29 reported on August 5 that butterfly layers and the bixie were among the most visible haircut trends in street-style images from Copenhagen Fashion Week’s spring/summer 2027 season. The outlet said attendees paired those cuts with the practical, layered dressing that has become a signature of the Danish event, alongside sharper bobs and braided styles. Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official schedule shows the SS27 season running from August 3 to August 7. W Magazine said the week is Copenhagen Fashion Week’s 20th anniversary season, with runway and presentation coverage ranging from By Malene Birger to Paolina Russo. Vogue’s runway pages for the season also tracked collections from Henrik Vibskov, Mfpen and The Garment, underscoring the breadth of labels showing across the week. ### Which haircuts stood out in the street-style coverage? (refinery29.com) Refinery29 said “butterfly layers” and the “bixie” were the standout cuts in its street-style roundup from Copenhagen. The article described butterfly layers as part of a broader run of soft, 1970s-leaning layered haircuts, while the bixie appeared alongside more graphic short cuts and polished bobs in the same gallery. (wmagazine.com) Refinery29’s August 5 report also included “razor-sharp bobs,” “sculptural Koroba braids” and layered cuts it described as “accidentally perfect.” The effect, in that framing, was a mix of precision and ease rather than a single dominant uniform look. ### Why are butterfly layers and the bixie getting attention now? Copenhagen street style has long been watched for wearable trends, and Refinery29 framed these cuts as salon-reference material rather than runway-only statements. (refinery29.com) The outlet wrote that the street-style hair on view offered ideas people could take to a “next salon appointment,” placing the focus on cuts that read as adaptable outside fashion week. Refinery29 has also tracked the bixie in broader 2026 haircut coverage, including a May trend report that referred to a “hydro bixie” among fresh haircut ideas for spring. That wider editorial attention helps explain why the style resurfaced in Copenhagen coverage as a recognizable shape rather than a one-off fashion-week novelty. ### How does that fit with what was happening on the runways? (refinery29.com) W Magazine’s spring 2027 roundup said the anniversary season continued “from the runways of By Malene Birger to Paolina Russo.” Its street-style coverage, published separately, described this season’s fashion crowd as “crafty, colorful, and completely original,” giving a broader picture of the clothes and styling around the haircut story. (refinery29.com) Vogue’s runway pages show how varied the collections were. Henrik Vibskov’s presence points to the event’s more conceptual wing, while Mfpen and The Garment represent the pared-back tailoring and cleaner Scandinavian lines that are also central to Copenhagen’s identity, according to Vogue’s seasonal coverage cited in the briefing. ### What does the schedule show about where the week is headed? Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official SS27 schedule lists events, talks, shows and presentations through Friday, August 7. (wmagazine.com) The schedule page published this week includes daily programming from Monday, August 3, through Friday, August 7, indicating that the season was still in progress as the haircut coverage emerged. August 7 is the next concrete marker for the week, with the official schedule page serving as the running reference for remaining SS27 showcases and events in Copenhagen. (copenhagenfashionweek.com)
