Holzweiler returns to Copenhagen with its Fall Winter 2026 show, marking a significant moment for the brand and its physical runway presence. Although founded in Oslo, Copenhagen played a defining role in Holzweiler’s early international development. This return carries personal weight, reconnecting the label with the city where its global path first took shape. Sixteen years after its runway debut and first collaboration with Moon, the brand re-enters Copenhagen Fashion Week with a collection that reflects continuity, reflection, and forward movement.
FALL WINTER 2026.27 COLLECTIONS
Co-Founder and Creative Director Maria Skappel Holzweiler describes the return as a reconnection with an essential chapter of the brand’s history. Copenhagen represents a place of early growth, shared values, and creative exchange. Presenting Fall Winter 2026 here allows Holzweiler to engage again with its extended creative community and the Scandinavian principles that continue to guide its work.
The Fall Winter 2026 collection spans womenswear and menswear and centers on the idea of preservation, approached through a human and emotional lens. The collection considers what remains after shared experiences fade. It draws inspiration from memory itself, from atmosphere and feeling to the traces left behind once a moment has passed. The calm after a dinner party, objects left on a table, and the quiet sense of time spent together become reference points.
Preservation, in this context, focuses on care rather than nostalgia. The collection treats memory as something lived and protected. This approach continues the narrative introduced during Spring Summer 2026, which explored tablescaping and communal rituals. Fall Winter 2026 extends that story into acts of packing away, storing, and safeguarding, linking garments to moments shared with loved ones and the communities that surround them.
Holzweiler translates preservation into form through wrapping, layering, and protective gestures. Silhouettes cover the body gently, with fabrics that drape, fold, and move in response to the wearer. Garments avoid rigid structure, instead referencing archival practices of concealment, care, and protection.
The collection introduces new fabrications and textures for the brand, developed with a focus on longevity and daily wear. These pieces support real use and repetition, reinforcing the idea that preservation connects to how garments live over time. Innovation and responsibility guide these choices, shaping clothing designed to remain relevant through lived experience rather than display.
The show takes place at Vandflyverhangaren, a former seaplane hangar later transformed into a creative hub by Danish architect Dorte Mandrup. The venue carries its own history of transformation and reuse, aligning closely with the collection’s focus on memory and care. This marks the first time the space has hosted a fashion show.
This return to Copenhagen functions as a reunion across disciplines. Holzweiler collaborates with fellow Norwegian institution Magnor Glassverk to explore glassware, extending the theme of preservation beyond clothing. Moon leads creative direction, with styling by Fran Burns and casting by Madeline Østlie. The Fall Winter 2026 show presents Holzweiler at a moment of return, clarity, and continuity, grounded in memory and guided by care.
