It was an exciting week in Copenhagen this season. Celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the event upped the energy and the schedule included debuts from guest designers Galib Gassanoff of Institution, and NYC’s Collina Strada.

Photographers Alicja Kozak, Tonya Matyu, and Bryndis Thorsteinsdottir were behind the scenes capturing all the backstage action for CPHFW, and we are sharing them here first. Enjoy.
