We are absolutely smitten with Han Kjøbenhavn‘s latest collection, which made its dazzling debut at Copenhagen Fashion Week. This collection is a heartfelt tribute, “This one is for the family,” says Han Kjøbenhavn about his Spring/Summer ’25 lineup, which unfolds in a hypnotic dance of surrealist shapes and denim.
Han Kjøbenhavn’s Spring/Summer ’25 Collection: A Love Letter to the Concrete Royals
A space opera for the club kids tore through Han Kjøbenhavn’s runway, paying homage to the “royals of concrete” – the urban youth sculpting tomorrow. From the first reveal – a faux fur dress exuding “humble beauty” – the collection never let up. It emanates a futuristic grunge vibe, focusing on sculpted and surreal silhouettes whipped up in leather and denim. Picture broad linebacker shoulders on cropped jackets cinched at the waist, blown-up collars, layered legging-shoes hybrids, and crotches so deeply dropped they graze the knees.

Kjøbenhavn faced a significant challenge: grounding this collection. “More for the people, less for the red carpet,” he confessed. The Spring/Summer ’25 collection reverberates with a stronger, more personal voice, echoing his childhood and early years. “It’s more connected to the people of flesh and blood,” he reflects.
Denim stands as the cornerstone of this collection. This no-fuss fabric serves as Kjøbenhavn’s canvas to articulate his formative years, seamlessly complemented by faux furs and leathers that add tactile richness to a largely monochromatic palette. “This has been a different kind of creative journey,” he shares. “One where I had to distil the extreme emotions I typically express through exaggerated shapes into a more nuanced voice.” This voice speaks for his family and the concrete kids from his upbringing, no doubt.
Founded in Copenhagen in 2008, Han Kjøbenhavn is synonymous with distinctive design, embedded in uncompromising creativity, storytelling, and craftsmanship. Their vision? To craft emotionally inclusive, innovative designs. Operating from Copenhagen and London, Han Kjøbenhavn continues to distribute a comprehensive range of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear and accessories worldwide.
