On 6 November 2026, Taus received the award for Year's New Name (Årets Nye Navn) at the Danish ELLE Awards.

Taus is a womenswear label founded in Copenhagen by Freyja Taus and Juho Lehiö. Every garment is made to order in our studio, mostly from upcycled and deadstock materials. Our work draws on archival research, historical costume and women's stories, reworked through traditional construction for the present.

The award follows a year that included our Spring Summer 2027 presentation at Copenhagen Fashion Week as CPHFW NEWTALENT One to Watch, presented by Pandora, and a place in Vogue's global listing of emerging designers as the only label from the Nordic region. Taus has also been featured in publications like i-D, Vogue Scandinavia and Vogue Business.

Thank you to ELLE, the jury, and everyone who has worn, bought, written about and worked on Taus.
