About Fine Chaos

Fine Chaos is an androgynous, youthful, and expressive brand that finds beauty in unexpected places and elements.

With a love for deconstruction, reconstruction, and expression, Fine Chaos pulls you into its dystopian otherworldly universe, making you feel like a part of the underground community from which the brand emerged.

The name and oxymoron 'Fine Chaos' encapsulates the brand's design philosophy, which centers around a fusion of opposing elements, resulting in what can only be described as 'a Beautiful Madness'.

Founded in 2021 by Designer and Creative Director, March C. Møllerskov, the Copenhagen-based brand has already garnered attention from known retailers such as HBX & Opener, and continues to expand the brand internationally.

Fine Chaos is known for their captivating storytelling and depiction of an underground scene that isn't always represented in Scandinavia. Creating a strong community has been a focus point from the start, and it has only grown with time.

 

Fine Chaos AW25

Continuing its legacy of weaving powerful narratives through fashion, FINE CHAOS presents its Fall/Winter 2025 collection, ‘ATARAXIS’, a post-apocalyptic exploration of hope amidst chaos.

Drawing from ancient Greek philosophy, where ‘Ataraxis’ translates to ‘peace of mind,’ this collection captures the human spirit’s capacity to find calm in the face of despair.

Building on the brand’s storytelling tradition, ATARAXIS reflects a world shaped by war, political instability, and environmental collapse. The designs portray both the crushing weight of these challenges and the resilience required to endure them.

Silhouettes are intentionally contrasted, evoking both the comforting embrace of hope and the suffocating pressure of responsibility.

The FW25 collection’s color palette juxtaposes the washed-out, steampunk-inspired tones with vibrant, almost sarcastic hues. Rich textures such as canvas, satin, and stiff PVC reflect the tension between fragility and strength, chaos and serenity. Sustainability remains at the core, with low-water dyes, upcycled fabrics, and minimal overproduction—a testament to the brand’s commitment to responsible design.

The runway show for ATARAXIS, their biggest one yet, took place in Copenhagen during fashion week, was designed as an immersive arena centered around Danish music group Kind mod Kind, as well as 20 actors scarcely clad in bandages portraying outcasts of society - a common theme in the FINE CHAOS storytelling.

The collection’s vision of a butterfly’s journey through hell is brought to life with powerful music and theatrical staging, symbolizing a fragile beauty found in the darkest corners. Further, in another display of their mission to democratize fashion, FINE CHAOS pledged more than half of the runway tickets to its community, the FINE CHAOS “society”.

With ATARAXIS, FINE CHAOS challenges the fashion world to engage in meaningful dialogue, creating designs that are both a mirror of our times and a beacon of hope.
