Anne Sofie Madsen Spring 2026

For the Anne Sofie Madsen Spring 2026 collection, Freja Wewer and William Becker – founders of Issueissue Magazine – were invited to reinterpret the garments and curate the presentation. Titled Lick the Star, the collection draws its name and mood from Sofia Coppola’s cult short film, a haunting portrayal of seventh-grade girlhood and its subtle, often cruel hierarchies. That same emotional terrain is explored here through twisted schoolyard tropes: tailored blazers, neckties, and sheer tights styled as outerwear – pulled over boy-cut briefs and cinched with belts – a look notably forecasted in this season’s trend prediction post.

At the heart of the show sat a flatlay of personal relics from creative directors Caroline and Sofie – an intimate installation of objects rooted in their own adolescent memories. Together, the collection and presentation became an excavation of formative identity: where binaries dissolve, and masculinity and femininity collide, the structured and the fragile coexist, and the polished embraces the imperfect.

One highlight that must be mentioned: the Glam Rat Clutch, created in collaboration with artist Esben Weile Kjær, which transforms the maligned rat into an emblem of celebration – an ode to what is often overlooked.

Ultimately, Lick the Star is not just a collection, but a coming-of-age tale – messy, emotional, defiant, and full of power.
