At Copenhagen Fashion Week AW25, the ZENZ Creative Team created natural, minimalist looks that enhanced the models' beauty. In collaboration with Birrot and A. Roege Hove, the team designed styles that seamlessly blended with the designers’ aesthetics – a mix of soft waves, texture, and fresh, radiant skin.
Birrot: Natural minimalism with soft waves and a healthy glow for the Birrot show
For the Birrot show, the team created a simple yet sophisticated look with natural waves and a healthy glow. According to Sidsel Lysell, head of the ZENZ Creative Team, the goal was to support the brand’s minimalist expression:
"We wanted to create a natural and effortless style, where the hair had movement and volume while maintaining lightness. At the same time, we focused on healthy, glowing skin that complemented the look perfectly."
The result was a modern and effortless style, perfect for both everyday wear and high fashion.
Recreate the look
For natural texture and light hold apply Salt Water Spray Sweet Orange no. 15 to towel-dried hair. Blow-dry with a diffuser or let the hair air-dry for a soft, wavy effect.
For volume and flexible hold, use Volume Hair Powder Pure no. 89 at the roots and finish with a light mist of Finishing Hair Spray Pure no. 88 to set the style without stiffness. To enhance a radiant complexion, apply Rosewood Face Serum, followed by Vanilla Day Cream for deep hydration and a natural glow. Use Pure Lip Balm for soft lips and finish with a touch of Lotus Body Butter on the cheekbones for a subtle highlight.
A. Roege Hove: Raw meets elegance
For A. Roege Hove, classic elements were reinterpreted with a contrast between raw textures and elegant details. As Sidsel Lysell describes:
"We worked with a mix of structure and softness – the hair needed an edge while still maintaining elegance. It was a balance between the polished and the unpolished, reflecting A. Roege Hove’s design universe." The look was a creative balance of rawness and elegance, perfect for avant-garde editorials and high-fashion styling.
Recreate the look
start by applying Volume Hair Spray Pure no. 86 to damp hair for body and light hold. Blow-dry with a round brush or use a straightener to create structure and defined lines.
For shine and control, distribute a few drops of Oil Treatment Pure no. 97 through the ends for gloss and nourishment without weighing the hair down. Finish with Finishing Hair Spray Pure no. 88 for long-lasting hold and a polished finish.
