Why Sinéad O'Dwyer Stole The Show At Copenhagen Fashion Week

London-based designer Sinéad O’Dwyer earned a spot on the spring / summer 2025 schedule at Copenhagen Fashion Week as the winner of the Zalando Visionary Award. O’Dwyer creates clothing using models of various sizes instead of the traditional sample size, and during a season that, unfortunately, has seen less body diversity on the catwalk than in previous Copenhagen Fashion Week editions, her form-fitting pieces, worn by a diverse cast of models, made the show the talk of the town.

In addition to her signature bodysuits and cut-out dresses, the designer ventured into denim this season. The collection featured crafted denim tops and bodysuits, along with halterneck dresses and short skirts. As for footwear, the models wore chunky lace-up flats created in collaboration with the Japanese brand Grounds Footwear.

The designer's commitment to inclusivity was evident throughout the show. This included casting blind activist Lucy Edwards to walk the runway and offering an audio description for blind and low-vision guests.
