Taking ownership of its business processes and emphasising dignity in his approach from the first day has always been a top priority for Schmidt. In 2023, this commitment will be extremely important as the designer says farewell to Copenhagen Fashion Week with an extraordinary show.

Style icon @uffebuchard

The brand's design philosophy combines architectural and resort inspiration with a fresh viewpoint by fusing components of classic suiting into a modern period. This was evident in fresh looks for women and med, sometimes in boxy, oversized jackets, walking alongside world famous actreses in ball dresses. Every line, from the corsets to the suits, was painstakingly thought out. With the exception of the aforementioned silver and the startling green, which Schmidt always incorporates in his shows. Without a logo or print in sight, it is nevertheless clearly Søren Le Schmidt.

Finale

Schmidt aspires to reinvent the traditional suit by fusing the traditional notion of couture with a contemporary, young, and rock'n'roll look. He does this by utilizing asymmetrical lines and cuts with unexpected and startling components. The collection mostly uses a black and white color scheme with a green color splash as an accent.
