There is drama to be had when getting dressed in a Nynne design. Copenhagen Fashion Week has made the drama of Scandinavian design come to life over the years and Nynne is elevating the “Scandi Girl” style of dress. Spring-Summer 2021 is a back-to-basics display of the eponymous brand, returning to the minimalistic design heightened with an expressive amount of solid-colored empowering dresses, jumpsuits, statement-making pants, and Tinkerbell sleeves.

Copenhagen Fashion Week is transitioning into a sustainable fashion platform, one that is mindful of the designs and aesthetics of the brands they showcase. Relying on the fashion to remain relevant, each brand involved in the general production of the fashion week is required to meet a 17 point checklist of sustainability standards which will be mandatory by 2023. The Nynne brand is exploring circular processes in the meantime as they expand on their creations.

Nynne Kunde is a Danish-born designer who studied at Istituto Marangoni in London, where fashion design became real for her and gave color to her Danish design palette. She gained experience working for ready-to-wear brand Rejina Pyo, where you can see her inspiration. Kunde eventually started her namesake brand in 2018 as she received the “Womenswear Designer of the Year” award after she graduated. She later moved her design studio from London to Copenhagen.

Signature designs such as the “Diana” dress are reoccurring in this collection, introducing a color palette not yet explored by Nynne.

Colors are described as Sunflower yellow and azure blue, and are staged by the modern cuts and colors of Scandinavian design; black, beige, and white.
