Deadwood AW25: Walking on Water at Copenhagen Fashion Week
Showcasing upcycled leather and ocean-inspired designs.
In the heart of winter, Deadwood pulled off an outdoor spectacle that defied all expectations. Transforming the rooftop of Villa Copenhagen into a breathtaking aquatic runway, the Swedish brand turned the hotel’s long swimming pool into a catwalk, where models appeared to walk on water—splashing through the shimmering surface as the sunset painted the sky in shades of gold and indigo.
With Sirens, mermaids, and pirates as the theme, Deadwood dived deep into the mystery and raw beauty of the ocean. The otherworldly show was set against an unseasonably clear January sky—a rare and lucky moment in Danish winter. It was cold, yes, but absolutely mesmerizing.
The Stockholm-based brand, founded in 2012 by Carl Ollson and Felix von Bahder, has always been about challenging norms. Deadwood is a pioneer in upcycled leather, vegan cactus leather, and sustainable material innovation—constantly proving that style and responsibility can go hand in hand. This collection was no different, blending edgy, rebellious energy with the fluid, untamed essence of the sea.
As models moved through the water, their outfits clung and swayed like they had emerged straight from the depths. Pirate-inspired coats, siren-like silhouettes, and mermaid-esque textures captured the essence of Deadwood’s signature aesthetic—rugged, effortless, and deeply conscious.
The show wasn’t just a runway presentation—it was a spectacle, a story, and a moment frozen in time. As the last model splashed through the pool and the sun dipped below the skyline, it was clear: Deadwood didn’t just present a collection—they created a legend.
