Forza Collective Spring/Summer 2026 at Copenhagen Fashion Week

Forza Collective Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Inspiration of Forza Collective SS26 / Spring/Summer 2026 about Juxtapositions, the collection draws inspiration from an ongoing interplay between structure and softness. Kristoffer Kongshaug has explored the 20’s period and fused these themes and techniques with a 90’s minimalistic touch that aligns with Forza Collective’s vision. The color palette is strong yet subtle, inspiring the viewer to engage in the detailed craftmanship. There is a sense of moving forwards and of embracing a higher power but at the same time an appreciation of history, the value and beauty of something old becoming new.

“I fell in love with french illustrations from old magazines dated back to the 20 ́s and 30 ́s featuring draping and alot of focus on a dropped waist line. They were either very strict and structured, or 360 degrees, I like the idea of bringing these to life, and placing them in a more contemporary and modern setting” – Kristoffer Kongshaug”
