AS THE SUN dipped low over Copenhagen’s waterfront, casting a golden glow across Søren Kierkegaards Plads, Alis brought a cinematic close to the second day of Spring/Summer 2026 shows with a runway experience that was as emotionally resonant as it was visually arresting. Titled Comeback Culture (III), the collection marked the brand’s third installment since its relaunch in 2025 and a powerful affirmation of Alis' renewed presence on the fashion stage. What began as a streetwear voice from Christiania in 1995 has matured into a cultural force, still rooted in skate and youth culture, but with a clearer, more refined sense of identity. 

This season’s show unfolded like a visual diary, shifting from beige and blue checks to vibrant mustard, purple plaids and blue pinstripes. The finale, with models stepping into a boat and sailing away under the evening sky, underscored a spirit of departure, movement, and possibility. “The show takes place in the heart of Copenhagen, right by the waterfront, in a public square named after one of Denmark’s most influential philosophers,” said creative director Tobias Birk Nielsen ahead of the show. “Kierkegaard once wrote, ‘To dare is to lose one’s footing for a moment. Not to dare is to lose oneself.’ This makes the location feel especially momentous for Alis. a meaningful nod to the brand’s history, and a personal note to keep faith for the future.” It was a message that felt both intimate and universal, much like the collection itself. ~ Jeanne-Marie Cilento

AMID the tranquil garden of Copenhagen’s Designmuseum Danmark, Skall Studio unveiled the new Spring/Summer 2026 collection, La Danse – Act II, a reflective journey into movement and emotion. This season, the design duo of sisters Julie and Marie Skall explored softness, and a more fluid expression of femininity in their designs. Flowing silhouettes in sun-washed tones, crafted from natural fibres, evoke the early light of a new day, while nostalgic Liberty florals reappear with quiet charm. 

For the first time, the label introduced accessories made from innovative, plant-based materials derived from Sicilian orange and cactus, extending its commitment to sustainable, animal-free design and the show was also complemented by Le Sundial’s sculptural jewellery. The presentation featured live classical music, transforming the event into a sensory encounter with stillness and grace. Founded in 2014 by the Skall sisters, the label draws on its roots in Northern Jutland, where their family once collected seashells ~ a symbol still central to their philosophy of conscious, connected living. ~ Antonio Visconti
