What's Happening?
Blanche Copenhagen, a Danish womenswear brand known for its denim and Scandinavian minimalist designs, is facing closure after filing for insolvency in June. CEO Bjørn Krøyer, who joined the company as an investor two years ago, announced the closure on LinkedIn, citing the severe crisis in the global fashion industry as a major factor. Despite efforts to restructure and redefine the brand, market forces proved insurmountable. The brand's products were available at retailers like Zalando and Anthropologie, but its online shop is now offline.
