LOVE LAYERS OF COPENHAGEN
BORIS

There’s something magnetic about the way Copenhagen feels in autumn — the air turns sharper, the light softer, and people walk slower, wrapped in layers that say more than words could. In that in-between stillness, Boris interprets what we call Love Layers of Copenhagen — not just through clothes, but through an emotional syntax built from contrast and sincerity.

He wears Martine Rose and Jil Sander — two opposite poles of expression. Martine Rose, with its raw, subversive energy that celebrates human awkwardness; Jil Sander, with its purity of form, silence, and balance. The result isn’t a clash, but a dialogue: like two people in love who don’t speak the same language yet still understand each other perfectly.

His Maison Margiela sprinters in washed grey carry the trace of the city’s pavements — worn, poetic, and precise — while UGGs add a hint of disarming warmth, a touch of imperfection that brings him back to something deeply human. This is not about fashion as perfection; it’s about fashion as memory, as texture of feeling.

Boris moves through the streets of Østerbro, where architecture feels both cold and tender, where design and emotion live side by side. Here, love isn’t dramatic — it’s quiet, often unspoken, layered beneath wool and rain.

When we ask Boris what place reminds him of his first love, he pauses before saying:
“First love was so long ago I wouldn’t know how to remember it, but a particular place that makes me think of love and feel love is the park and streets around Kastellet, especially in fall.”

There’s something cinematic in that answer — the image of someone walking alone through Kastellet, leaves turning amber, the air filled with that sharp Scandinavian clarity.
You can almost feel the stillness of a city that teaches you to love through silence.

In Copenhagen, love is not shouted; it’s whispered between layers of sweaters, hidden in glances reflected on wet pavements, or the warmth of a borrowed scarf.
Boris’ style mirrors this same psychology — understated yet complex, refined yet human. Each layer he wears isn’t just a choice of fashion, but an emotional code: a message of protection, nostalgia, and quiet sensuality.

“If Copenhagen were a song,” Boris says, “Right now I feel like it’s Westerberg from the new Blood Orange album.”

It’s a beautiful choice — Dev Hynes’ sound oscillates between melancholy and desire, like a heart that keeps remembering even when it wants to forget. The rhythm of Westerberg mirrors the Copenhagen rhythm — slow, introspective, cool on the outside but burning underneath.

And when he’s asked which film would describe his Copenhagen love story, he smiles slightly before answering:

“Closer by Mike Nichols. The city is so present in all the intricate love stories I’ve felt and been part of. Complicated and complex — just like contemporary love stories.”

That’s where Love Layers of Copenhagen finds its essence: in the complexity of emotion, in the honesty of imperfection. In Boris, the clothes don’t decorate — they reveal. The Martine Rose feels like the courage to be misunderstood; the Jil Sander sweaters are the silence that follows truth; the Margiela sneakers and the UGGs, together, are the reconciliation between strength and softness.

Love in Copenhagen isn’t about grand gestures — it’s about the layers we keep, the ones we choose to show, and the ones that remain hidden beneath.
And perhaps that’s what Boris really wears: not fashion, but feeling.
