Forét
Forét is a Copenhagen menswear label founded in 2014 by childhood friends Jeppe Meier and Jesper Finderup, who named it after the French word for forest. The two grew up in rural Ringsted on Zealand and left fashion and advertising jobs to start the brand. Collections translate that outdoors nostalgia into "soft outdoor" clothing for city and trail: corduroy and flannel overshirts, fleeces, wool knits, packable jackets and organic-cotton tees in muted earth tones, built from hard-wearing, responsibly sourced fabrics. It sells direct and through European stockists.
