Calling It: These Will Be Fashion Month's Biggest Street Style Trends
While the style (on both the runways and the streets) at Copenhagen fashion week is never short of killer, this past showing was especially noteworthy, as seemingly more street style stars than ever flocked to the city for the S/S 19 collections—and caught the fashion world's attention while doing so. All eyes were on Copenhagen, one of the unofficial kickoffs to fashion month, to see what would be worn on the streets and subsequently what's to come later at New York, London, Paris, and Milan fashion weeks. Needless to say, the city delivered. After all, who better to set the season’s trends than the ever-so-stylish Scandinavians?

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
