Copenhagen: Fashion lovers revel in Maja Dixdotter’s last collection for By Malene Birger, featuring a luxurious earthy palette and standout pieces, such as a reversible coat. Reflecting on her legacy, Dixdotter’s work promises to influence the brand’s new direction under Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt.
Fashion enthusiasts were treated to an evocative display of Maja Dixdotter’s final collection for By Malene Birger, showcased in a lookbook featuring renowned model Malgosia Bela. This fall collection, described by Vogue, embodies a luxurious yet earthy palette infused with a sense of chic and sensuality.
The collection represents a poignant farewell for Dixdotter, who has been instrumental in shaping the brand’s aesthetic during her tenure before departing the company last year. Going forward, the creative direction of By Malene Birger will fall into the hands of Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt, who owns the label.
The lookbook opens with a standout piece: a reversible shearling-to-leather coat that epitomises the brand’s signature style under Dixdotter’s leadership—striking yet timeless. Other notable pieces from the collection include dresses adorned with plissé detailing, featuring standing seams at the shoulderline, reminiscent of designs that celebrated the work of Mary McFadden. Additionally, a chocolate double-faced cashmere coat completed with a faux fur collar adds a touch of elegance, while elements of mohair and fringe enhance the tactile appeal of the garments.
In a statement reflecting on the collection, Dixdotter noted that it serves to “honour what has been, while looking ahead to what’s next,” signifying a blend of nostalgia and forward-thinking that characterises her final offerings for the brand. The collection captures the essence of a harvest, a theme that resonates deeply within the collection with its rich textures and sophisticated silhouettes.
As By Malene Birger moves into a new chapter under Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt’s guidance, the fashion world watches closely to see how the brand will evolve, building upon the legacy brought forth by Dixdotter.
