Berner Kuhl Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Copenhagen Fashion Week entitled “INHABITED SPACES” A Hybrid Exhibition During Copenhagen Fashion Week in Brigade Gallery on August 5th, 2025.

This Copenhagen Fashion Week, Berner Kuhl invites guests into a living narrative of space, form, and personal expression. Titled “Inhabited Spaces”, the SS26 presentation is a hybrid exhibition unfolding at Brigade Gallery where fashion, furniture, and functional design blur into one immersive experience.

At the heart of Berner Kuhl SS26 / Spring/Summer 2026 collection is a question: What does it mean to inhabit a space? From the private interiors that shape our inner lives to the garments that move with us in the world, SS26 explores how identity is shaped by the physical and emotional environments we construct around and upon ourselves.

In a departure from the traditional runway format, the presentation unfolds across an evolving, lived-in installation. Models move fluidly through the gallery, interacting with a set of personal furniture pieces and objects curated by Frederik Berner Kühl. These elements serve as quiet extensions of the self. Familiar yet refined, functional yet expressive.

The garments echo the same sensibility: architectural silhouettes softened by movement; structured tailoring contrasted with tactile, interior-inspired materials. Dense weaves in deadstock polyester/silk used for outer-wear along with coated linen, as well as crepe linen/wool cloth resembling drapy curtains. Berner Kuhl Spring/Summer 2026 collection leans into dualities. Public and private, utilitarian and emotional, worn and lived-in. It’s clothing designed not just to be seen, but to be inhabited.

A classic ultra fine 16GG merino polo, meant to be worn day in and day out. Super 120s very light wool shirts both to be worn as a luxurious pyjamas at home or as part of a more tailored outfit for a night out. Cotton/silk yarn knit a heavy milano structure inspired by a fine plaid, but also reworked in an ultra-light rib inspired by old under garments.

“This season is about recognizing clothing as more than adornment. it’s an interface between the body and the world. Just like a home, it carries the imprint of how we live,” says Frederik Berner Kühl.

Inhabited Spaces is both an exhibition and an invitation to step into the quiet interplay between self, object, and place.
