COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK is the new home for watching emerging fashion talent. P.L.N. SS24 RUNWAY REPORT COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK is out, and we bring you some goth punk life fashion for the Nords. P.L.N., European punk culture is mixed, with references to workwear, Goth and antique religious attire, well-considered silhouettes, thorough construction, and experimental reinterpretations.
P.L.N. SS24 RUNWAY REPORT
P.L.N. was founded in 2020 by Peter Lundvald Nielsen and officially launched in August 2021 with the brand’s first collection (COLLECTION I). i-D Magazine mentioned P.L.N. as one of the best collections presented under CPHFW SS23. Since then, P.L.N. has received broad interest from both leading dealers, intl. Press as well as recognized creative actors.

P.L.N. is based on a traditional understanding of the body but is not limited to a particular gender or sexuality.

COLLECTION IIII In the trajectory of P.L.N.’s life so far, this collection marks an essential step in more ways than one. As the third and final show as a part of the NEW TALENT programme, the show concludes the trilogy of plays presented during CPHFW. Simultaneously, the third collection marks the launch of the new journey ahead.
P.L.N SS24
The P.L.N. SS24 collection focuses on obscure silhouettes, encouraging the individual wearer to interpret the garment. A play between thought and reality. Individuality is somehow a distortion of reality unknown; we all create our own. The collection aims to build a loop of interpretations—a garment designed from one understanding of a perceived reality becomes another through the lens of the next person.
Peter Lundvald Nielsen says: “I have a huge desire to make clothes where people have to absorb and define what they see for themselves.” MATERIALS Being one of the pillars of the brand, P.L.N. continues to have a strong focus on craftsmanship.
Up until this point, P.L.N. has strictly been a made-to-order brand. With a wish to let the vision grow and reach more people, P.L.N. is now offering ready-to-wear items, and with a growing production comes an equally increasing responsibility. P.L.N. works with European manufacturers in Portugal, Ukraine, Brussels, and Italy to meet this responsibility. P.L.N. produces in low quantities to ensure that garments are used.
For this collection, they worked with locally sourced organic and renewable materials, such as organic cotton and renewable acetate, to put as little weight as possible on the environment.
SHOW CONCEPT The P.L.N. SS24 collection is shown in Nikolaj Kunsthal, in the heart of Copenhagen. With all its serenity and divinity, presence is required. These blissful surroundings, shielding from buzzing everyday life outside the church walls, allow for a space of full attention.
