Munthe COPENHAGEN SPRING 2021
Naja Munthe has one of the most playful aesthetics among the Copenhagen Fashion Week designers. Her runway shows, like her clothes—the inside-out, upside-down silhouettes of spring 2020 come to mind—tend to brim with quirk. Even in this moment of COVID-19-induced disruption, her point of view remains cute and cheeky. In lieu of a physical runway show, Munthe created a video depicting models walking on a small, foldable treadmill in front of a video montage of a seascape; electronic music plays in the background. The film captures your attention the same way that a bouncy, catchy Tik Tok video might. But the moving visuals don’t distract from the actual clothes.
This season, Munthe focused heavily on denim (jeans were a huge category for designers who showed resort), as well as layering pieces like chunky knit vests and collared shirts. Her outerwear was quite nice, especially a green and black checked overcoat. Printed pouf-sleeve dresses will hit home with her current fans, but the separates, which were much more streamlined than usual, may attract a newer customer. The designer’s big win here was editing things down, and mixing playfulness with practicality.
