For SS26, Caro Editions turned a Copenhagen bridge underpass into a spirited and sentimental wedding party – complete with polka dots, sheer minis and silk bows
Leave it to Caroline Bille Brahe to turn the first, grey-skied day of Copenhagen Fashion Week into pure, unfiltered joy. For spring/summer ’26, Caro Editions returned to the place where it all began – Knippelsbro bridge – transforming an industrial underpass into a colourful re-staging of her own 2018 wedding, in a celebration of togetherness, creativity and dressing up for the sheer fun of it.
The atmosphere was electric. Danish supermodel Mona Tougaard, plonked on a pal's lap in the front row, cheered on models as they floated past in polka-dotted silks and reworked vintage check to a soundtrack that swung from Bikini Kill to Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Titled 'Under the Bridge' and inspired in part by Yoko Ono’s Brides on Tour, the collection was a love letter to community. Preppy, perhaps, but never precious, Caro’s signatures – bows, polka dots, and vintage silks – were recut into effortless shapes: ankle-tied trousers, cropped jackets with dramatic lapels, and mini dresses. Gingham suiting collided with playful silk trims, while headscarves à la Grace Kelly were styled with broad-shouldered jackets straight from Alexis Carrington’s playbook.
A standout barn jacket, trimmed in black corduroy, came cut from Mulberry’s signature plaid lining, now proudly worn on the outside. Caro’s collaboration with Mulberry –launched with this collection – saw models clutching reimagined vintage bags, each transformed with oversized bows, appliqués, and linings that peeked playfully from the seams. The bags felt less like luxury accessories and more like cherished keepsakes, carried with the same affection as a family heirloom.
“The whole collection is silks and laces and sequins and dots,” Bille Brahe has said, and it showed in every look: frothy dresses that could have been lifted from a wedding cake, raw silk pants tied with bows at the ankle. Mostly one-of-a-kind or limited edition, Caro Editions strikes the perfect balance between 'wow' and wearable — a point made clear when a mother-and-daughters trio joined couples and friends in the model line-up.
The closing look – a down-to-earth bride in a lace hoodie, silk windbreaker, and custom Crocs – summed up Caro’s ethos in a single outfit: practicality and playfulness, equal parts ceremony and afterparty. After the final walk, models and guests (Tougaard included) boarded boats, drifting through Copenhagen’s canals to Frederik Bille Brahe’s The Apollo, where a towering wedding cake awaited.
