Wood Wood FW24 Runway Show

For Wood Wood's autumn/winter '24 showcase, creative directors Brooke Taylor and Nana Aganovic drew inspiration from their new home in the Nordics. "Being new to Wood Wood and Copenhagen, our biggest inspiration naturally came from our impressions of the city, specifically the 20-year archive of the brand," explains Taylor. Buzzcut Zeazon took on the role of production lead, serving as the main point of contact for all show coordination. This included collaborating with creative talents, external partners, venue representatives, the PR team, models, casting, makeup/hair artists, photographers, and technicians. Buzzcut Zeazon also managed venue and backstage setup, maintenance, and takedown, all in accordance with Copenhagen Fashion Week's Sustainability Requirements. The content on Wood Wood's mood board for this season was described as "unexpected," as the creative directors found themselves drawn to the '70s. "From Taxi Driver to Studio 54, the New York Dolls, and Yves Saint Laurent, the decade seemed to resonate with us," says Taylor. "We felt certain parallels with our current times – the anxiety, decadence, tales of political and institutional corruption, but also the raw energy and creativity." The '70s influence is most prominent in the collection's color palette, featuring warm browns and muted chartreuse reminiscent of the boho style prevalent throughout the decade. Fabric choices embrace era-appropriate textures, with sumptuous velvet and corduroy used for trousers, dresses, and co-ord sets. A nod to the nearby Thorvaldsens Museum is seen in swathes of striking cobalt blue, derived from the building's starry sky ceiling, adorning various garments. "These contrasting elements – the midnight sky and the golden texture – felt very Scandinavian somehow," reflects Taylor. "The long-night winters and the thirst for sunshine, known as 'solskin' in Danish – a sibilant word that plays beautifully in the mouth." Journalism: Vogue Scandinavia Photography: James Cochrane
