Wood Wood FW23 "Heaven Out Here" Is Destined for the Dancefloor
The concrete runway exuded a rave-ready attitude enhanced by Y2K-inspired apparel.
Copenhagen Fashion Week is well underway, and local imprint Wood Wood wrapped up day two activities by staging an underground showcase with a party-ready atmosphere.
Founded over two decades ago by Brian SS Jensen and Karl-Oskar Olsen, Wood Wood has since expanded its horizons by opening three retail locations across Europe, which house various international labels alongside its own.
For Fall/Winter 2023, the contemporary brand welcomed guests into Copenhagen’s Simian art center, which felt like a concrete jungle accented by an acrylic cube at the midpoint. Ragging dancers jammed out inside, with their silhouettes faintly mirrored through the smoked glass.
Titled “Heaven Out Here,” an old-school raving attitude was present in every look, which housed Y2K-inspired ensembles across co-ed apparel destined for the dancefloor. Here, distinct personalities collided as party kids sported shredded knitwear and paint-stained denim with dangling keyrings while dapper gentlemen arrived wearing elevated wool coats and fur-trimmed scarves.
Sustainable leather enhanced oversized outerwear matched with pinstriped dress shirts and minuscule shorts. Elsewhere, asymmetrical suiting was tugged to one side with an unbalanced structure while further variations were accompanied by down-filled pillow bags with a crinkled finish as if slept on for hours.
In the footwear department, models walked the runway wearing classic cowboy boots and snakeskin loafers with a liquefied effect, while Wood Wood also debuted its forthcoming Salomon collaboration. The sneakers boast wavy beige suede that wraps around its perimeter, contrasted by shimmering mesh panels and customary Salomon-branded detailing on the heel counters.
