Not only did their iconic boat shoe set foot in Copenhagen’s fashion scene, but Timberland’s afterparty (including a performance by Fred Again) was also the talk of the town on the final day of Copenhagen Fashion Week. Cover image: Rasmus Luckmann

TIMBERLAND KNOWS HOW TO THROW A PARTY
It’s no secret that Timberland’s shoes are hard to destroy. They combat extreme circumstances and add a sense of boldness to any look. With last year’s horrible weather in mind, Copenhagen’s fashion crowd came prepared. The number of Timberland shoes (the boots and the iconic boat shoes) during the week was impossible to track. Combined with skirts, oversized jeans, leather looks, bermudas, and floral dresses, the shoes were once again a jack of all trades.
The massive popularity of Timberland’s boat shoe and their classic 6-inch Waterproof Boots sheds light on fashion’s trend cycle. It’s a fascinating dance between nostalgia and innovation, where the past continually reinvents itself to inspire the present—this season, Copenhagen Fashion Week brought this interplay into sharp focus, highlighting how iconic styles from previous decades can be reimagined for today’s fashion-forward crowd. Among the standout moments was the resurgence of Timberland’s classic footwear. Their 6-inch waterproof boots have transcended their functional roots to become a fashion crowd staple. Equally iconic, Timberland’s boat shoes made a splash.
These enduring styles found themselves at the intersection of two significant trends that dominated the Copenhagen runways: the Y2K aesthetic and 90s minimalism. The Y2K revival, with its bold, experimental vibe, brought back the chunky silhouettes and confident statements that Timberland’s 6-inch boots embody so well. At the same time, the clean lines and understated elegance of 90s minimalism were reflected in the effortless sophistication of Timberland’s boat shoes, proving that simplicity never gets old. As these trends continue to evolve, Timberland’s iconic footwear reminds us that some styles are not just fleeting moments in the trend cycle but are woven into fashion history.
Timberland as a brand is a family affair (once started by Nathan Swartz, who ran the brand with his son and grandson), and that was precisely what Copenhagen’s hottest crowd felt like when partying until dawn at the brand’s after party. On Thursday, they gathered at Bar Amore, Copenhagen’s most beloved Italian restaurant, where the Limoncello Spritz enhanced everyone’s mood. After dining, the guests were transported – in a party bus! – to Syd For Solen Festival, where Fred Again performed live. To fuel your FOMO or to relive the night, a visual diary of Timberland’s afterparty at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
