About the brands
Studio Constance
Studio Constance is a Swedish brand, redefining how fashion goods and clothing are produced and consumed. As an ode to modern women, they strive to introduce a concept of feral luxury - an idea free from conformism - and provide quality garments designed to be reused, recycled, and resold. Feral women are their heroines. A feral woman is, first and foremost, herself. She is full of contradictions, free to change her mind, yet unwavering in her values. Studio Constance is a movement toward meaningful luxury. With a clear identity, compelling founder story, and scalable sustainability, it’s poised to become an ode to the modern woman – bold, sophisticated, and culturally resonant.
Studio Constance was enrolled to CPHFW NEWTALENT in May 2026 and will showcase on the official schedule as an active part of CPHFW NEWTALENT for SS27, AW27 and SS28.
Stem
Launched in September 2021 by weaver and textile designer Sarah Brunnhuber, Stem is an innovative zero-waste production brand for woven garments. Its weaving, cutting, and sewing system eliminates garment production waste and creates a visual language that tells a production story. With its experimental approach to zero-waste garments, Stem bridges craft and industry, aiming to disrupt the current cycle of overproduction and overconsumption. Stem’s philosophy is: Produce better, produce less – buy better, buy less.
Stem was enrolled to CPHFW NEWTALENT in November 2025 and will showcase on the official schedule as an active part of CPHFW NEWTALENT for AW26, SS27 and AW27.
Anne Sofie Madsen
Without any ambition to tell stories nor seek novelty, Anne Sofie Madsen is made to be worn by women who do not dress to seduce, but who dress to empower themselves through a wardrobe that goes beyond seasonality, themes, or dress codes. Instead, Anne Sofie Madsen becomes part of the agenda, by emphasising a sustainable praxis that empowers the wearer through a couturier craft and hand. Anne Sofie Madsen utilises the designer’s technique of combining traditional, craftsmanship with alternative materials and new, experimental technologies. Each piece stands on its own and together as a collection. Anne Sofie Madsen appreciates and acknowledges time-honoured virtues such as patience and respect for the savoir-faire of each garment and returns to fashion with a maturity that seeks a conscious and responsible balance between a viable method of production and a sustainable praxis on body as in mind.
