Jannik Wikkelsø Davidsen of Danish label Han Kjøbenhavn showed a subversive take on Scandi fashion at Copenhagen Fashion Week SS22
When Jannik Wikkelsø Davidsen made his debut at Milan Fashion Week in January, critics knew there was something different about this Danish designer whose aesthetic veered in the opposite direction to many of his peers in Scandi fashion who are known for their candy-like fashion confections. At Han Kjøbenhavn, severe silhouettes and dark palettes reigned, bringing to mind the work of legendary French designer Thierry Mugler, who was best known for creating exaggerated, almost fetishistic shapes with his clothes.

Davidsen's debut collection featured a male model with Frankenstein-esque hair, wearing leather coats with sharp metallic corners at the shoulders or hips and even a baroque ballgown complete with a crinoline skirt.
