Nicklas Skovgaard Fall/Winter 2025 at Copenhagen Fashion Week

Nicklas Skovgaard Fall/Winter 2025 / FW25 at Copenhagen Fashion Week presents Collection 10.

Nicklas Skovgaard Collection 10 draws inspiration from a series of three silkscreen prints by Andy Warhol titled “Hans Christian Andersen” from 1986. The “Hans Christian Andersen” series was one of the last works created by Warhol before his death. The three silkscreen prints all portray iconic paper cutting which feature figures and stories by H.C. Andersen from his renowned fairytales from the 19th century. The “Hans Christian Andersen” silkscreen prints all display the characteristic Warhol pop-art style from their use of colors and techniques.

“As a child growing up only a 30 minute drive from the house in which Hans Christian Andersen himself was born, I’ve always had a big love for his fairytales as well as the amazing paper cut-outs he did. To me, he somehow represents the essence of being Danish. A few years back when I was first introduced to the silk screen print series by Andy Warhol named after Andersen and reproducing his work I was so struck by all of them. It was so interesting to experience theses three paper cutouts by Andersen in the world of Warhol. The duality between these two iconic artists and their works feels so refreshing. They’re telling a pop art fairytale!”

Through the use of different techniques Nicklas Skovgaard investigates ways of working with fabrications in methods that are also done when working with paper. Cutting, ripping and outlining of fabrics as details are some of the techniques that Nicklas Skovgaard Fall/Winter 2025 / FW25 collection holds. Another way the Warhol / Andersen connection is translated into the collection is through the use of silhouettes, these feel exaggerated and two dimensional whilst still keeping their volume. The contrast that the series of silk screen print series holds is also reinterpreted into the collection through the use of color and textile combinations.
