Havaianas Launches Kitten Heel, Embracing Contemporary Style at Copenhagen Fashion Week

Havaianas is stepping into a new era with the debut of its Kitten Heel silhouette at Copenhagen Fashion Week 2026. Under the banner "Taking New Heights," the brand showcased its evolving design philosophy, moving beyond its iconic flip-flops to become an active participant in the fashion week calendar. This momentum was solidified with the launch of the Kitten Heel on the Studio Constance Spring/Summer 2027 runway. The collection presented an unexpected interpretation of Havaianas' signature design language. Across 25 looks, the new silhouette was integrated with classic styles, creating a fusion of Havaianas' distinct Brazilian heritage and the contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic of Studio Constance. This collaboration positioned Havaianas within a fashion context that felt both natural and refreshingly new. Beyond the runway, the Kitten Heel made its mark on the streets of Copenhagen. Fashion creators, editors, and stylists were seen sporting the new design throughout the week, generating organic visibility. Notably, Brazilian fashion figure Livia Nunes was photographed cycling through the city, her Havaianas Kitten Heels playfully replacing traditional pedals, linking the new design to Copenhagen's cycling culture and transforming the city streets into a dynamic fashion moment. The brand marked the occasion with an event at Green Island, Copenhagen Harbour, themed "From Sea Level to New Heights." This gathering brought together creators, journalists, and international fashion community members. The event translated Havaianas' new chapter through a blend of products, music, and immersive content, featuring elevated installations, Brazilian music, and a floating customization activation with jewelry designer Alan Crocetti. The star of the week was undoubtedly the Havaianas Kitten Heel, the brand's first-ever heeled sandal. It reinterprets the iconic toe-post construction with a contemporary twist, pairing the signature toe cap with a low, asymmetrically elliptical kitten heel. Available in black, off-white, and vibrant green, the design retains Havaianas' signature rubber insole, infusing the brand's core elements into its latest offering.
