Nicklas Skovgaard SS26: Under The Covers And Out In Style

On the last day of Copenhagen Fashion Week SS26, Nicklas Skovgaard transformed Nikolaj Kunsthal into something completely unexpected—a bedroom for the fashion crowd. Guests stepped into a space filled with beds, soft lighting, and a playful invitation to lounge. It was the perfect setting for a collection built around the intimacy, chaos, and comfort of the bedroom.

From Bed to Runway

For many designers, the nights before a show mean no sleep at all. Skovgaard flipped that idea on its head, using sleepwear as his starting point and turning it into something fit for the street—or the dance floor. The styling was bolder than in previous seasons: think quilted bubble skirts, leather shorts trimmed with tulle, and black tops dotted with dozens of tiny bows worn with nothing but panties.

A Playful Mix of Comfort and Edge

The looks blurred the lines between loungewear and statement dressing. Bra tops replaced blouses, track jackets were paired with delicate skirts, and sheer layers played against structured pieces. The result was a wardrobe that could move from an afternoon nap to a late-night party without missing a beat.

Cocktails in Bed

With the show starting just after 6 PM, Skovgaard joked that guests were welcome to stay and nap afterward. Instead, many lingered in bed with cocktails in hand, chatting and soaking in the last golden hours of fashion week. It was the kind of relaxed, offbeat energy that made the event feel more like a gathering of friends than a formal runway show.

Nicklas Skovgaard’s SS26 presentation proved that fashion can be intimate, lighthearted, and daring all at once—reminding us that sometimes the most stylish place to be is under the covers.
