Nicklas Skovgaard TOPS

Danish designer Nicklas Skovgaard presents his clearly articulated vision of womenswear with his namesake brand, founded in 2020. The Copenhagen-based label’s approach to design is akin to storytelling, weaving together a spectrum of inspirations, from art and pop culture to personal memories, to create captivating—and at times contradictory—garments. The considered, handcrafted nature of the collections is manifest in details like hand-woven textiles paired with water-repellent fabrics and original cuts with voluptuous peplum hems, puffed sleeves, and exaggerated shoulders. Orchestrating a perfectly strange symphony of textiles and design, Nicklas Skovgaard delivers ready-to-wear that lives between romanticism and realism.
