Munthe AW17 @ Copenhagen Fashion Week

By far, a huge contender for our favourite show of Copenhagen Fashion Week had to be handed to Munthe, for their clever quips underlying a powerful political statement on a platform showcasing quality clothes.

The collection took on a masculine femininity, reminiscent of rock star inspired looks with slogans such as β€˜OK, So I Lied’ emblazoned across t-shirts in a Metallica-esque font. Designer, Naja Munthe, chose a bold red as inspiration for her collection as it creates a statement of power and owning oneself, in a world being taken over by the likes of Donald Trump. Munthe served up chocolates with logos from her collection imprinted on them, as well as the statement β€˜Pussy Grabs Back,’ as a response to Trump – which she also featured in her look when she addressed the catwalk.

Metallics were a popular choice on the runway, making an appearance in the form of golden, pleated tiered skirts, giving a nod to the current style that seems to be sweeping the globe. Another of our favourite looks was an entirely white and cream style, featuring flared cotton pants and a fluffy hooded pullover which truly emanated β€˜Copenhagen’ for us. The collection had an edge and an attitude that we were really looking for this week – not to mention the whole thing took place in a skate park, the show opened by skateboarders wearing pieces by Munthe! The collection truly had a look for everyone, showcasing a multiplicity of thought through designs that are totally wearable and on trend.
