Mfpen is a Copenhagen-based fashion brand founded in 2016 by Sigurd Bank. The name, drawn from the Danish phrase med ført pen (“with led pen”), symbolizes the act of creating garments on behalf of others.

With a background in production and sourcing, as well as experience designing for leading Danish brands, Bank was inspired to establish Mfpen after recognizing the potential of working with deadstock fabrics. His vision, influenced by voluminous silhouettes in classic menswear, continues to define the brand today.

Celebrated for its minimalist design philosophy, Mfpen focuses on high-quality, versatile menswear. The brand prioritizes the use of deadstock fabrics, recycled fibers, and eco-conscious textiles such as organic cotton and Tencel, creating timeless garments that are both sustainable and enduring. In 2024, Mfpen expanded into womenswear, furthering its commitment to sustainability and minimalist aesthetics.

Nicklas Skovgaard is a Danish designer known for his bold and theatrical approach to womenswear. Entirely self-taught in textile creation, his journey began with the discovery of a children’s loom in a thrift shop, sparking a passion for weaving unique fabrics that remain central to his work.

Since launching his label in 2020, Skovgaard has become recognized for his daring material combinations—such as handwoven wool with technical fabrics, or silk taffeta with stretch jersey—that challenge conventional silhouettes while maintaining a modern, artistic edge. His collections draw inspiration from baroque portraiture, ’80s pop culture, and personal memories, resulting in designs that are both romantic and contemporary.

Renowned for immersive presentations, his shows transform venues into living art spaces where models interact with the audience, bringing his vision to life. With a commitment to sustainability, Skovgaard minimizes waste by carefully managing fabric use and repurposing materials from past collections. With growing international acclaim, he continues to push creative boundaries, establishing himself as one of Denmark’s most exciting contemporary designers.
