MKDT's latest collection, in an homage to Danish artist Oluf Host, reframes the brand’s precise tailoring as a wardrobe designed to move with the day
MKDT Studio’s latest collection for Copenhagen served as an ode to the urban everyday. The cycle to the office, the pause in a café, the unhurried rhythm of life, with clothes designed to elegantly support the routines.
The expected central code of MKDT tailoring was certainly present, yet for autumn/winter '26, it felt imbued with a welcome softness. Double-breasted blazers, often layered over high-neck knits, maintained their sharpness through considered proportion rather than rigid structure. Tailored trousers fell with a relaxed, straight grace, moving seamlessly with the wearer. The overarching approach saw corners rounded, proportions elongated, and a subtle play with asymmetry, ensuring the garments worked with the body.
Outerwear grounded the collection with pragmatic elegance, presenting classic tartan and grey checks alongside solid blocks of black and rich praline. Waists were effortlessly defined by belts, while collars achieved generous, yet controlled, volume. Sculptural silhouettes emerged through considered shapes, offering a counterpoint to traditional rigidity. Knitwear acted as an essential anchor, with the introduction of yak fibres replacing conventional suiting in select ensembles, layered masterfully with jackets and delicate sheer organza for an elevated finish.
The introduction of dresses added lift to the entire collection. Sheer black and ivory styles, often layered over trousers, utilised mixed materials to create depth without sacrificing lightness. Asymmetry, once again, translucence, and soft draping subtly emphasised the body and positioned the dresses as integrated layers within a modern wardrobe rather than distinct, separate garments.
In a heady mix of refined neutrals, MKDT’s colour palette paid homage to Danish artist Oluf Host. Black and layered grey tones balanced out with earthy shades of lay, brown, hay and khaki, whilst seasonal accents of praline and deep fig added richness and contrast, balancing the visual rhythm of the collection.
