Vogue used Copenhagen Fashion Week’s 20th anniversary on August 6 to publish a shopping-and-brand guide naming 20 Scandinavian labels “to have on your radar,” adding a consumer-facing list to its ongoing spring 2027 coverage from Denmark. The article was published the same week that editors and buyers were in Copenhagen for the SS27 shows. Vogue described the selection as spanning familiar names and newer labels. (copenhagenfashionweek.com) Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official SS27 schedule runs August 3-7 and includes 34 shows and presentations, according to the organizer. The lineup combines established Nordic brands, newer designers and international participants, with Copenhagen Fashion Week saying the season continues its 20th-anniversary celebrations. (vogue.com) ### Which anniversary moment prompted Vogue’s list now? August 6 was one of the main editorial days of Copenhagen Fashion Week’s spring 2027 season, and Vogue tied its list directly to the event’s 20th anniversary. The magazine said Copenhagen had, over two decades, introduced designers who reshaped contemporary fashion, framing the roundup as a guide to labels readers should keep watching. (vogue.com) Copenhagen Fashion Week said in a May 29 announcement that the SS27 edition would continue the anniversary year with a four-day official program in the Danish capital. Chief Executive Cecilie Thorsmark said the season would bring back returning brands while introducing Nordic names that had built international recognition and were choosing Copenhagen as their platform.

(vogue.com) The organizer also said the season includes debuting brands such as Almada Label and Yours Truly by Peter Jensen, plus newer names in its talent pipeline. Studio Constance joined the CPHFW NEWTALENT program for SS27, while Anne Sofie Madsen and Stem continued in the scheme; Sson, Renè and Taus were named “One To Watch.” (copenhagenfashionweek.com) ### Which names best show the mix Vogue is pointing readers toward? Vogue said its 20-brand selection moves between established Scandinavian labels and up-and-coming names, matching the balance visible on the official schedule. On the returning-brand side, Copenhagen Fashion Week highlighted labels including By Malene Birger, Stine Goya, Mfpen and Marimekko in its SS27 announcement. (copenhagenfashionweek.com) The current schedule also points to the newer end of the market. Almada Label appears as a debut brand on the official announcement, while Studio Constance, Stem, Sson and Renè are among the names attached to Copenhagen Fashion Week’s talent-development tracks.

Vogue published the brand roundup alongside runway coverage from the same week, including spring 2027 collection pages for The Garment and Henrik Vibskov. That places the list next to show reviews and image-led coverage rather than as a standalone retail package. (vogue.com) Other Vogue coverage around the anniversary has also focused on Copenhagen’s role in shaping fashion conversation beyond the runway, including a recent look back at street-style trends associated with the city and its fashion week. (copenhagenfashionweek.com) ### What happens next in Copenhagen before this season ends? August 7 is the final day of the official SS27 program, according to Copenhagen Fashion Week’s published dates. The organizer said the season includes 34 shows and presentations, with brands, buyers and editors remaining in Copenhagen through the close of the schedule. (vogue.com) Vogue’s roundup remains on its site as part of that live week of coverage, while the official Copenhagen Fashion Week brands page continues to list the participating labels for the anniversary season.
