Cecilie Bahnsen celebrated a decade of her eponymous fashion label with a captivating runway presentation titled "Hana-bi," meaning fireworks in Japanese. The show, held on August 7, 2025, in Copenhagen, encapsulated the collection's blend of ephemeral beauty and enduring strength.
The collection marked a thoughtful evolution, transitioning from Bahnsen's signature luminous white palette to sophisticated silver hues. She masterfully wove a narrative between her brand's past and present by revisiting her archive, reimagining silhouettes, and curating fabric combinations with couture-level craftsmanship. Key textiles from previous seasons, such as Myrtia organza and Fiama fil-coupé, were given new life. A notable highlight was the continued collaboration with ASICS, whose sneakers were transformed with delicate embroidery and deconstructed elements. The show's atmosphere was enhanced by an immersive score from August Rosenbaum and Beth Gibbons, with models moving through a dreamlike environment of mist and light. "Hana-bi" served as a tribute to Copenhagen, the city where Bahnsen's journey began, and an acknowledgment of the brand's supporters, with select guests invited to wear archive pieces. Copenhagen Fashion Week 2025, held from August 4th to 8th, provided the backdrop for this milestone event, underscoring the week's commitment to sustainable style and innovative design.
The collection is now available for acquisition directly through the runway experience and by private appointment at Bahnsen's newly opened Copenhagen boutique.
