Backstage with Nicklas Skovgaard — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW26
At Copenhagen Fashion Week AW26, 4me4you steps behind the curtain to experience Nicklas Skovgaard from a quieter, more intimate angle. Through backstage imagery alone, we explore the moments where construction meets emotion, and where the collection exists before it becomes performance.
Nicklas Skovgaard’s AW26 Collection 12 unfolds away from the runway lights, revealing the raw tension that defines his work, preparation, transformation, and multiplicity. Backstage, garments hover between states: structured yet fluid, restrained yet charged with theatrical intent. These in-between moments echo the collection’s cinematic inspiration, drawn from the 1937 Danish film Mille, Marie og Mig, where identity is never singular and femininity is constantly in motion.
The backstage lens captures Skovgaard’s evolving vision of femininity, sharper silhouettes, a renewed focus on the waist, and material contrasts that challenge what elegance is supposed to be. Wool becomes ornament, function turns decorative, and classic forms quietly resist expectation. Here, clothing doesn’t announce itself; it reveals itself slowly, in fragments, gestures, and details.
4me4you takes you backstage with Nicklas Skovgaard to offer a different view, one that lives in preparation rather than spectacle, and in the complexity of becoming rather than the final image.
