Selam Fessahaye's debut collection at cphfw was big, proud and loud!
One of our most-awaited Copenhagen Fashion Week debuts this season delivered beyond expectations, leaving us utterly transfixed., where skill and panache together served us a real feast for our senses to gorge on.
Having found out enough about Fessahaye’s designs to expect a ‘go big, or go home’ attitude, we entered Studio 6 at The Lab to see it completely transformed from the raw, industrial space it was before. Floor-to-wall paper in different shades of beige and brown covered the entire room, stuck together nonchalantly with masking tape. There was a video of afro hair being combed and braided meticulously, which all fell into place as an ethnicity statement.
Fessahaye’s fashion festival finished off with a proud, barefoot walk to Diana Ross’s self-confidence anthem ‘I’m Coming Out’, where we got to admire again the bouncy badass hairstyles and bold Eritrean jewellery, both complementing the designer’s strong, sparkling debut. We most definitely “want the world to know” about Selam Fessahaye’s brilliant brain, and have a cheeky feeling introductions will soon no longer be necessary.
