Remain
Founded in 2019, REMAIN draws on decades of expertise and craftsmanship in Birger Christensen’s leather ateliers and combines them with a clear focus on design to create sophisticated collections that offer a contemporary take on classic style. Since 2023, it has been under the watchful eye of Creative Director Martin Asbjørn who brings to the brand his vast experience in tailoring and total understanding of a modern woman’s wardrobe needs. Danish-born Martin Asbjørn studied Menswear Design at the prestigious Design and Technical Tailoring Academy where he honed his skills before graduating and setting up his own eponymous label. Here he combined traditional techniques with bold creativity and, in doing so, presented collections that pushed the boundries of both mens and womenswear whilst never forgetting wearability and quality. This approach, combined with his expertise with leather, makes him the perfect partner for REMAIN. REMAIN is available in more than 120 stores across 35 countries around the world including leading retailers such as SSENSE, Brown, Luisa Via Roma and Selfridges.
Rotate
Created in partnership with stylists Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimars, the Copenhagen-based brand ROTATE has taken the world by storm with its bold and outgoing DNA translated into covetable partywear and everyday glamour. In addition to the main line, ROTATE Sunday is a capsule spanning contemporary pieces for daily wear. The line is inspired by the relaxed feeling of Sundays, made to wear every day. The collection has a responsible emphasis with pieces made from 100% recycled or organic fabrics. ROTATE is available in more than 40 countries worldwide and is stocked at globally leading retailers such as Net-A-Porter, Selfridges, Browns Fashion and Mytheresa.
Cannari-Concept
Copenhagen-based Birger Christensen Collective expands its roster of boundary-defying brands with the introduction of Cannari-Concept, founded in conjunction with It-girl and Creative Director Anna Winck. Heavy on childhood nostalgia, Cannari-Concept celebrates an era where pop subcultures ruled. Silhouettes fit for iconic sitcom characters have been designed to be mixed and matched for looks that radiate self-confidence. Block colours and out-there graphic-print slogans come together to inspire feelings of fearless self-expression. Ruched skirts, cropped puffer jackets and corset-style tops are unapologetically sexy. Loose-fitting graphic-print hoodies and extra-wide flares riff on retro grunge to make for combinations that rally against traditionally gendered ways of dressing. Made with sustainability in mind, Cannari-Concept explores the possibilities of circular fashion: 100% of the collection is made using pre-loved, recycled or preferred materials. Working with local partners, the brand creates styles inspired by the past that respect the future. Playful at heart, Cannari-Concept captures the euphoric free-spirited essence of youth. Launched August 2023.
The Birger Christensen Collective roadmap is a tried-and tested structure for creating impactful brands empowering the women in our chain of value.
We believe women are a force for change, and we want to give them a voice, a role and a place to express themselves and change our industry from within.
Now engraved in our status, this mission statement is the commitment for a new era.
“We shifted our focus from individual initiatives to a comprehensive plan, leading to significant changes in our mindset and processes.
Together, we continue our journey towards a more sustainable fashion"
