International Fashion Spotlight: Danish Label Cecilie Bahnsen

Cecilie Bahnsen is a Danish designer working out of Copenhagen who combines the traditions of fine French couture with Scandinavian design aesthetics to produce easy, romantic, softly pretty ready-to-wear pieces. Forbes called her brand, “a darling of style setters, attracting the attention of fashion glossies and behemoth department stores, all of whom see the immense potential of this 35-year-old rising star.” She is a graduate of the Danish School of Design, has worked at Erdem and Dior, and is an LVMH Prize finalist. She debuted her line in 2015 with a Spring/Summer collection and quickly made a name for herself with her frilly, textural take on romanticism, her combination of softness and structure, and her hand-designed textiles, which give her pieces a richness and depth. In her brand’s words, “Each collection builds on the previous one to develop a world of pieces that can be cherished for years, passed between friends, and reinterpreted and restyled to express the individuality of the wearer.”
