April Lockhart is having a major Copenhagen Fashion Week moment. For the Spring/Summer 2027 season, the fashion creator, model and disability advocate isn't just attending the shows; she's taking us along for the ride, documenting the fashion week experience from behind the scenes to the streets of Copenhagen.
And this season comes with a major first: Lockhart walked the runway for Stine Goya for the first time. The moment marks another significant step in her growing fashion career, taking her from documenting fashion to becoming part of the runway itself.
For Lockhart, who has built a dedicated following around her love of fashion and her unapologetically playful approach to getting dressed, Copenhagen Fashion Week is the perfect playground. Known for its distinctive street style, the city attracts some of fashion's most experimental dressers, and Lockhart has been capturing it all, from standout outfits spotted on the streets to the details that make fashion week feel like more than just a series of runway shows.
As one of Copenhagen Fashion Week's official TikTok creators for SS27, she has been giving followers a front-seat view of the week. Her content takes us backstage, into the shows and through the streets, capturing the behind-the-scenes moments, fashion week energy and street-style looks that don't always make it onto the runway. Rather than simply reporting on the week, Lockhart is experiencing it with us, bringing her audience into the excitement of getting dressed, heading to shows and discovering what everyone else is wearing along the way.
And if her own wardrobe is anything to go by, she knows exactly what to look for.
Lockhart's style is colourful, maximalist and full of personality. She has never approached fashion as something that needs to be overly serious, instead using clothes as a way to experiment, play and express herself. That makes her Copenhagen coverage feel particularly natural: she's not only showing us the clothes, she's genuinely excited about them.
Her relationship with fashion is also deeply personal. Born with amniotic band syndrome, Lockhart has a limb difference affecting her left arm. She has spoken openly about how she once used clothing to hide her disability, before eventually discovering fashion as a space where she could express herself and embrace her body. Her Disabled Fashion Girlie content has since become an important part of her work, helping normalise disability within fashion and challenging narrow ideas about who gets to participate in the industry.
That advocacy has grown alongside an impressive fashion career. Lockhart has worked as a content creator, fashion editor and model, and founded Disabled&, a platform created to support disabled creatives. She was also named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 in 2025.
Her Copenhagen journey has become another important chapter. During her previous visit to Copenhagen Fashion Week, Lockhart wrote about seeing disabled models represented on the runway, including one model with the same arm difference as hers.
This year, she has moved from watching those runways to walking one herself.
Her Stine Goya debut is therefore more than a fashion-week highlight. It is a full-circle moment for someone who has spent years advocating for greater visibility while building a career around her genuine love for fashion.
But perhaps the most exciting part is that Lockhart isn't keeping the experience to herself. Through her Copenhagen Fashion Week coverage, she is taking us with her — showing the outfits, the backstage moments, the city, the shows and the people who make fashion week what it is.
From the front row to the pavement, April Lockhart is giving us a personal tour of Copenhagen Fashion Week SS27 — and making a strong case for why she belongs in the fashion conversation.
