What Han Kjøbenhavn is known for
Copenhagen fashion brand founded 2008, blending brutalist Scandinavian design with avant-garde streetwear aesthetics in eyewear and clothing.
Han Kjøbenhavn was founded in 2008 in Copenhagen by Jannik Wikkelsø Davidsen, initially as an eyewear brand before expanding to include outerwear and shirting. The name Kjøbenhavn (Copenhagen in Danish) anchors the brand's Scandinavian identity. The label blends raw, gritty streetwear influences with avant-garde Scandinavian design, marrying bold aesthetics with premium build quality and construction. The brand offers menswear (jeans, knitwear, outerwear, t-shirts, hoodies) and womenswear (including dresses and skirts), plus a "Second Life" secondhand line and specialized eyewear collections. Han Kjøbenhavn gained international recognition when it designed actress Julia Fox's viral black leather 'Grip Dress' for the 2022 Oscars. The website features distinctive branding including an integrated audio player called "HanAmp" with customizable equalizer settings, reflecting the brand's lifestyle-oriented identity.
