Check out the Best Streetstyle at Copenhagen Fashion Week AW18

Euro-centric apparel meets US sneaker culture

In the age of digital communications, Scandinavia has emerged as a northern-outpost of the influential style elite who - despite their modest size and relative geographical exile - make a significant contribution to global style each season.

Home to an impressive spread of some of the world's most forward-thinking and spoken about brands and labels, the Nordic countries have elegantly put to use the power of new media to claim ownership of their own design DNA and aesthetic voice at a global level. Most notable are the Swedish and Danish capitals - Stockholm and Copenhagen respectively - both of which are now firmly established as Scandi-hubs of style and influence.

For the AW18 presentations at Scandinavia's largest fashion event, the northern chill made layering a priority of the style savants with premium outerwear emerging as a saviour of style and survival for many attendees. Aplomb with the Dane's well-documented penchant for minimalist elegance counterbalanced with flashes of playful irreverence, Copenhagen delivered on all fronts for AW18

Following on from our Oslo streetstyle report, END.'s photo-journalist Robert Spangle captured the best style from outside the presentations.

Combine premium staples from luxury European brands Acne Studios and A.P.C. with an iconic US sneaker silhouette for a global take on contemporary menswear.
Disrupt your approach to sartorialism by sizing up in tailored pieces for an undone take on classic style.
Luxury iterations of the classic bomber silhouette emerges as a style staple of the fashion elite for the season in hand. Add a sense of purpose to an otherwise casual look by layering with an oxford button down as the base.

Experiment with fit and proportion with core Japanese brands including Comme des Garcons and Junya Watanabe for a modern-day take on essential silhouettes.
