Soeren Le Schmidt SS22 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week

Danish designer Soeren Le Schmidt is most commonly associated with red carpet designs for celebrities in Denmark and abroad, but it is also a formidable fashion label for skillfully executed  tailoring. 

This season, the SLS collection showcased during Copenhagen Fashion Week (August 9 - 13 2021) is as usual, based on old school tailoring, therefore presenting high quality and skillfulness, alongside with a rockabilly and a new playful edge throughout the collection, experimenting with coarse metal buttons and solid silver zippers. 

The catwalk show took place at the highly anticipated sustainable, luxury hotel, Villa Copenhagen, which is continuing on the history of its former purpose as Danish Central Post & Telegraph Office.

Soeren Le Schmidt’s new looks were played out against hip hop music from the nineties, adding an underground vibe to the show.  

The designer's way of interpreting the concept of 'pattern manipulation', together with his graphics and asymmetry in design, inspired from architecture, are evident during the show. 

The gender fluid looks were occasionally styled with edgy details such as heavy chains across the genders, and centered around the use of sustainable materials that included pure wool  mixed with raw denim, alongside 100% sustainable furniture fabric, presented on a dynamic silhouette and a range of designs this season, including dresses, blazers and trousers.
