Collina Strada will make its European debut during Copenhagen Fashion Week for the SS27 season, serving as the inaugural recipient of the International Guest Slot supported by The Climate Pledge, according to label founder and designer Hillary Taymour. The one-off runway show offers the New York-based brand an opportunity to test operations outside its Brooklyn studio and collaborate with entities driving responsible fashion practices.
Why Collina Strada Chose Copenhagen for Its European Runway Debut
For years, New York fashion mainstay Collina Strada operated primarily within the United States. According to founder and designer Hillary Taymour, moving across the Atlantic for a single season is an intentional creative choice rather than a permanent relocation. The Copenhagen Fashion Week appearance gives the team a chance to experiment outside familiar territory without committing to a permanent slot on the European schedule.
“It’s kind of a test for us,” Taymour explains regarding the upcoming European showcase. The designer views the venture as an essential exercise in seeing how the Brooklyn-based studio operates internationally while reconnecting with the core ethos that defined the label’s early years.
