MKDT Studio SS26: Reconnection In The Heart Of Copenhagen

On day three of Copenhagen Fashion Week SS26, MKDT Studio brought fashion to the streets—literally—by turning the iconic Gefion Fountain into an open-air runway. Passersby could stop and watch as the city itself became part of the show. Under the creative direction of Caroline Engelgaar, the collection focused on one central theme: reconnection.

Slowing the Pace

In a fashion world that often moves at lightning speed, MKDT chose to slow things down. This season was about taking the time to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the world around you. The brand’s clean Scandinavian style was softened with small, unexpected details, giving the collection a warm, approachable feel.

Calm Tones with a Pop

Neutral shades provided a timeless base, while accents of lavender grey, chiffon yellow, and sage green added fresh energy. Checks were reworked into layered, overlapping patterns, and shredded ramie brought sculptural texture—perfectly balancing polish with a touch of edge.

Minimalism with Personality

Though rooted in simplicity, the collection had playful moments. Pops of colour, contrasting textures, and creative fabric techniques gave each look its own twist. The result was fashion that felt easy to wear yet full of personality—a reminder that minimalism doesn’t have to be plain.

By bringing the runway into a public space and focusing on thoughtful design, MKDT Studio proved that fashion can be both personal and shared. SS26 was a quiet but confident statement, showing that sometimes the most powerful messages are the ones spoken softly.
