To show or not to show... Editorial
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Elsebeth Mouritzen
The summer’s ongoing debate in Danish media on the meaning of fashion, sparked by the new initiative from the organizing body of Copenhagen Fashion Week to edit the show schedule, has left part of the garment industry eschewing the action.
here as well as in New York, Milan and Paris with ready-to-wear labels that could originate from anywhere and without a significant profile to make headlines or catch attention, the initiative from DAFI can only be applauded.
Though carried out to create more space between shows and to curate with a Scandinavian focus, critics claim that by cutting down from 40+ to 32 shows and dividing them into off- and on-schedules, CFW is inhibited from becoming a truly international fair attractive to buyers and press from abroad. The less satisfied further argue that by de-emphasizing some brands on the runways, Denmark’s visibility on the world map of fashion could be jeopardized due to the potentially missed international attention.
By editing and curating the show schedule, Danish Fashion Institute achieves the goal of highlighting brands whose originality stand out, and which may be the frontrunners in attracting the desired international spotlight. So instead of bemoaning a decision by DAFI to professionalize CFW even more, those in need of profiling a brand to potential clients can still put on a show. It does not have to be on a schedule to be effective.
Having attended many an indifferent fashion show
Take a cue from the likes of couture classicist Ole Yde and menswear maverick Silas Adler, who have decided to host presentations of their
collections instead of a show to reach the target audience on a smaller scale. Or do like veteran fashion mogul Keld Mikkelsen of DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, who has decided to sit this one over to digest former catwalk failures, but also not to get lost in the crowd, as he explains in a Dansk Daily interview. Even if another critical argument on the diminished schedule has been vanguard versus volume, hopefully everyone participating in Copenhagen Fashion Week has confidence in their own product. Otherwise it is time to think out of the box, as the creative duo behind GrenaaBuchard state in their new collaboration with the oldest and most commercial of the fashion fairs, CIFF at Bella Center. They dare to skip the legendary bi-annual trend show in return for a new look at what’s in store.

Dansk & CIFF
Take trends in your own direction What direction is fashion taking? That’s the question most frequently asked of fashion consultants Kim Grenaa and Uffe Buchard. Being their primary business to know the answer, you get their sure-fire view and perspective when asking. However, staying true to their cutting-edge sense of what is the next big thing, they are turning the tables at CIFF Bella Center and asking you to take the trends in your own direction. YOU decide what will be in fashion.
DANSK Direction is physically four rooms reflecting the archetypes of Escapist, Excentrist, Anarchist and Philantropist in a mix of materials, music, clothes, inspirational photos and Pantone swatches. Just like at an art gallery or museum, where the ”likes” are in the eyes of the beholder, the multi-media inspirations presented should generate a more individual choice for the Spring/Summer fashions.
– We think the traditional trend show and forecast is a bit outdated. Fashion and trends are moving at such a pace, due to the digital evolution with tweets, blogs and Instagram, that we have all become editors and tastemakers, making it hard to predict anything concrete these days like colors or polka dots. And fashion cannot be dictated – and shouldn’t be, say Uffe Buchard and Kim Grenaa.
– We acknowledge that some buyers will miss being guided, but more and more fashion is about reflecting emotions, lifestyle and personality. We want to belong to a tribe, be an archetype on one hand, but within that frame we do not want to look alike. This is why the buyer should use his senses, trust his insticts and know his customers. Ask himself the same questions here as during a trend show: what will work for me, how do I interpret this, and who will wear it?
– We thought it would be a welcome change to communicate trends through archetypes instead of specific themes. To coach the buyers and manufacturers instead of telling them what to choose. Making them more active in their decision as to what is best for them in their local marketplace. Like a whisper in their ear. This storytelling is part of a different take on fashion for CIFF at Bella Center. They have already devoted the Center Hall to showcase new talents in Crystal Hall, and with DANSK Direction as a novel feature, they offer a more untraditional approach to sharing trends.
– The fashion business is still under pressure economically, and if you do just like the others, you may not have a business in three years. Think out of the box and dare to be different by taking the trends in your own direction, say Uffe Buchard and Kim Grenaa, whose magazine DANSK supports the CIFF initiative with a fashion editorial featuring some of the same clothes that have been chosen for the four archetypes.

Jewelry designer Trine Tuxen doesn’t sit still, and with collaborations with Stine Goya for the SS13 collection and Astrid Andersen’s SS14 collection during London Men’s Fashion week, this CFW should be no exception. Trine Tuxen has teamed up with designer Anne Sophie Madsen, and Thursday they are set to conquer City Hall with a tantalizing double punch of fashion and jewelry.
DANSK MAGAZINE’s moussa ADORES House of Montague
For her own collection, this season’s introduction of delicate stones like diamonds, blue sapphires, garnet and citrine is an exciting development and a courageous choice that adds another dimension that interrupts and provokes the pure expression of the design. The stones are specially selected in order to create an underplayed luminosity in a refined color palette.
Danish sneakers? Go to House of Montague. These distinctive kicks add some urban coolness with the discreet black and the glitzy, fierce snakeskin in gold.
Like a balcony with meticulous flower boxes, the SS14 collection blossoms in simplicity, motion and pure elegance – true to Trine Tuxen’s trademark.

THE DAILY GEM
Closet confidential Always on a quest of decoding fashion and our habitual choices, Editor-at-Large Chris Pedersen from Danish fashion monthly Cover once again spearheads the alternative TV coverage of Copenhagen Fashion Week, hosting the programmes ”Codes of Fashion”. Watch him on public service channel DRK at 9 PM Thursday and Friday as he throws himself into the closets of local celebrities to uncover their identities through the clothes, see him explore new fashion territory at diverse Copenhagen neighbourhoods, and hear what bass player Gene Simmons from Kiss, singer Lucy Love and film director Jørgen Leth have to say about their personal style.
Happy from the heart In 1983, Annemette Markvad and Thomas Adamsen started selling handmade jewelry with pearls and stones at festivals, sharing their love for music and people in designs that reflected heartfelt values such as spontaneity, intimacy and authenticity. Despite their lack of business experience, the jewelry became a success, and they ventured on a professional journey that they named Pilgrim. The jewelry, always made in 925 silver sterling coating or 16-carat gilding, aims to add beauty to the bearer with a design based on Scandinavian tradition mixed with ethnic and bohemian influences. But before bringing happiness to customers, it is pivotal for the founders that all work is carried out in an environment of respect, responsibility and trust among the 500 people employed at Pilgrim. Markvad and Adamsen extend their altruistic belief to sharing their profits with the less fortunate. Besides donating through the Pilgrim Foundation they have since 2003 made special products for Médicins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), and proceeds from these sales have gone exclusively to the organisation, leaving them 1.9 million euros over the years. Pilgrim is celebrating the happy anniversary with a limited edition collection, reflecting 30 years of beauty, history and vitality to be bought only at their own stores or online.
Timeless travelling Designer Malene Birger loves hotels, and the d’Angleterre has been her favorite home-away-from-home on visits to her native Copenhagen from travels around the world, except for in the past couple of years, while the majestic white building on Kongens Nytorv was shut down, undergoing serious renovation. Re-opened just a few months ago, Hotel d’Angleterre once again hosts tourists, rockstars, fashionistas and business travellers in more contemporary surroundings, but redone in respect to the original style of the 1755 landmark luxury sleeping quarters. What more befitting place to showcase fashion for the cosmopolitan woman?

Instead of selling the new collection at a fair or showroom, By Malene Birger is occupying the historic Palm Court, the Louis XVI Ballroom and the Gallery throughout fashion week for appointments with customers and an intimate press dinner in lieu of the much anticipated bi-annual fashion show, the must-see of previous seasons.
DANSK AW13 OUT NOW
In her fashion manifesto Malene Birger describes the SS14 collection as ”an homage to all the timeless, ageless Ladies of the World, a collection that transcends time with an array of styles that are forever in fashion.” Just like the hotel.

A show does not make a brand
- The marketplace is getting more and more difficult to operate in. It takes a lot for a new brand to make it, and also for an existing one to maintain it’s raison d’etre, but most Danish brands have the will, and hopefully also the ingenuity, to be a somewhat small, but still international player, says Keld Mikkelsen. A veteran among the leading brands rooted in Denmark, he has been in fashion most of his life and a prominent figure at that. In the business for the last 16 years as founder and CEO of DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, he enjoys commercial sucess beyond borders with his company. He is always present during fashion week, but occasionally absent from the show circuit. This season is no exception. He can easily afford it, to be or not to be visible on the catwalk, but to him it is not just about money, whether he puts on a show or not. He takes the liberty of stepping back with a critical look from the sidelines on the evolution of Copenhagen Fashion Week as a platform for marketing Danish brands. - Let me start with our saying ”we are DAY-ish, not Danish.” For us it has never been interesting to be known as Danish, we consider ourselves an internationally influenced brand, but since we develop our design in Denmark and have a substantial Scandinavian market share, I guess that certain colors and qualities that you can call ”Danish” have made their way into the collections, because we are based in Copenhagen.
- That said, we support the idea of CFW by exhibiting here, but we feel that there are too many shows. It has become messy, and the mystique and energy has evaporated. Denmark is a small market, and when so few attendees try to see so many shows as there were last season, it turns mechanical, like standing by an assembly line, and actually becomes quite provincial. That is not flattering, and it is important to remember that a show in itself does not make a brand, says Keld Mikkelsen. He has a few regrets on his own behalf though: - Admittedly, we at DAY have managed to pull off a couple of really bad shows ourselves, so we are in the process of digesting these experiences. There are other ways to do it, and right now we are testing them, lead by curiosity – what happens if we don’t? - That is why we are currently working on a show for the AW 2014 collection in February next year, where we want to tell where DAY is at the moment. We have never been under the influence of current fashion forecasts, we consider ourselves more of a lifestyle than fashion brand, but out of curiosity and with great respect for the business we are in, we do keep an eye on things… All I can say is that a lot is happening that we want to share with the profession, and of course a fashion show is an excellent tool for that, Keld Mikkelsen concludes.

Psychotic bliss
Most fashion news these days happens within men’s wear.

SHOWS
Labels like Soulland, Wood Wood, Libertine Libertine and Sand demonstrate the top quality in men’s design, and likewise up there, where he belongs, reigns asger Juel Larsen, whose politically rebellious attitude is translated into terrific clothes. His spring/summer 2014 “a Triple Distilled Dream” collection is partly a homage to the surreal artist H. R. geiger – appearing as a T-shirt-dress reminiscent of 1960’s pierre Cardin – and as a biker jacket/Ber-
muda shorts-suit all in white maxi mesh. green, yellow or black & white tartans made dashing statements as shorts, shirts, shirts wrapped as skirts around shorts and as beautifully made short, slim coats.
as a contrast to the simple black, daring prints danced on tops and trousers in grey/ white mesh and in a Versace-like yellow/ brown biomechanics pattern in cotton and nylon, a rainwear cape.
This superb coat cut shows off Juel Larsen’s years well spent at The London College of Fashion at John Richmond and at Burberry – a slim black diplomat coat over a narrow, black suit was actually quite beautiful. The long lines were repeated in sleeveless Tshirts and in loose shorts, all in black the sporty look appeared elegant.
This designer’s interest in both the disturbing and the sublime comes out as blooming bomber jackets, rock and roll boxer shorts – sometimes worn with a double-breasted suit jacket – in neoprene hooded lumber jackets and as the perfect button-down shirt. all mixed together in Juel Larsen’s psychotic bliss mood, a charming design statement.

JEAn// New horizon Ph ILL I P WORDS Moussa Mchangama PHOTO Copenhagen Fashion Week
Don’t mistake Jean phillip’s age for inexperience. even though he’s only 28, he’s been designing androgynous, draped fashion since he was 21. Last season’s resurrection of womenswear was a welcome breath of fresh air and now, under the name “Retour au Debut,” he’s pushing it further.
page 12
SHOWS
The camo-smoke print from aW13 was re-interpreted in a black/white mix, while a new, strong print made its entrance. Fading from dusty red to a mouldy green, a reptile print is the backbone of the collection. “a monitor lizard I met on the street inspired me and is the basis of the print,” the designer said. Sounds unlikely to see a reptile out and
about in Copenhagen, but yours truly has met said animal on the shoulder of a guy at dubious Copenhagen morning bar Café Louise. Opening and closing the show was a long skirt, an interpretation of male Japanese national dress. Otherwise, the designer referenced sports- and workwear, made pockets resemble those in overalls and work belts, and mixed baseball jackets with blazers and dress shorts. Overall, a more slim and less draped silhouette. poplin, linen, crêpe de chine and nylon were the materials, with black being key – except for those gorgeous prints and a laser-cut reptile bone pattern
on grey pieces in silk and nylon. Black show pieces with reptilian golden appliqué were gorgeous and could be commercialized. They worked, just like the sneakers and bags, collaborations with Italian shoemaker By Cinzia araia and 23-year-old Danish artisan Jeppe Dencker of Leatherprojects, respectively. all of these new initiatives are great – they’ve been needed to broaden the vocabulary of the brand. These days, fashion talents assert themselves in Copenhagen all the time, making it important for a well-known, small designer like Jean phillip to expand his horizons if he wants to keep up to date. With this collection, he’s back in the game.

MArGrEThE-sKoLEn A star is born WORDS Lotte Freddie PHOTO Copenhagen Fashion Week
The fashion industry hinges on the new – and particularly new talent. This quality may be discovered at fine design schools like Margrethe-skolen, from which several great Danish designers have graduated, including Margit Brandt, Benedikte Utzon, Susanne Rützou, and Lene Sand. exceptional talent does not, however, come easy, but at the school’s show, yesterday saw the birth of a superstar – Hulda Frida Björnsdóttir from Reykjavik, Iceland. Japanese geishas blending with the soft movements of the ocean were the inspiration for sculptural silhouettes in a dress and a long jacket in heavy silk
satin, printed in the USa with colorful flowers, the jacket matched with pastel flowered pants – quite beautiful. as were a pair of wide, shocking-red crepe trousers paired with an asymmetrical rose satin top. The unique Hulda must be picked up by somebody in the industry who acknowledges real talent when they see it. Other interesting designs were the criss-crossing red, white, and black stripes from Laura Jørgensen, Sóley Jóhannsdóttir’s asymmetrical mixed outfits and great men’s wear from amanda Magnussen, Mette S S Friis and Kolbrún erna. Fine promises for the future.
The calming sound of breaking waves filled the vast space of City Hall and enveloped the audience at Whiite’s show in a relaxed summer mood, reflecting the weather outside and the inspiration for the tenyear jubilee collection.
In return, the threesome has invested in sensuous silks turned into elegant wearable designs such as fluid shirtdresses, drawstring tapered pants, soft sleeved tops and cropped jackets, all in the most delicate colors ranging from ivory, blush and mushroom to Matisse blue and denim hues; jolted by a red here, an acid yellow there, delicate dots and prints.
In the past six months, owners Signe and Jan Tholstrup have spent a lot of effort strengthening the design of Frederikke Hviid rather than marketing the brand, but coincidentally, distributors from particularly Oceania have discovered the ethereal silhouette that is her trademark, and secured growth for the small company.
Frederikke Hviid has found her niche in making clothes for style-conscious women who never compromise on comfort and ease. a very modern approach.

SHOWS
It is always exciting when a new designer hosts his or her first show. Like a blank page waiting for its first words, we enter the show venue with an open mind not knowing what to expect. Yesterday’s show calendar newcomer, Mark Kenly Domino Tan, has already succeeded in making a name for himself after having graduated from Kolding School. He was amongst the Danish finalists at the H&M Design award 2013 and also dressed the Danish pop princess Medina for eLLe Style awards earlier this year. So expectations of yesterday’s show were high, but need I say, they were not let up.
The collection had a futuristic feel, as organic shapes and architectural lines were set against a mix of organic and artificial materials such as a black-and-white-checked wool skirt with neoprene lining and oblong plastic sequins mixed with a sharply cut black leather top, or the showstopping cocoonshaped red coat that actually opened the show, made in a material that was a mixture of wool and foam. There was a playful approach to silhouettes and generally lots of volume in the collection, as seen in the blue culottes mixed with pilot jackets with patented sleeves, the white pencil skirt
with a see-through top part that showed off the panties, or the checked long tunic over wide pants in the same pattern, all underlining Tan’s belief in craft and concept as being equally important design components. after the show, Tan commented that it had been a fantastic experiment having his first show and he was extremely happy and grateful towards his team. and who wouldn’t be happy with a standing applause at their first show? The show struck solid that Tan is a name to watch in the future.

Sexy 70s band T Rex encouraged onlookers to “get it on” and indeed, Benedikte was back in her usual fine form, delivering, on a carpet of pink cherry blossoms, one sensual outfit after another – inspired by Japanese mountains. This means the colder colors of the mountain peaks becoming softer and milder towards the
base. a shocking pink wrap blouse matched with loose tapered trousers opened the show of more smouldering, soft silk dresses, blouses and pants in nude, rose, ecru, coral and orange. edged in black or coral or inserted with graphic pieces of black silk across shoulders, down the front or along side seams. Benedikte’s close family relationships and expertise with fur and leather proved obvious in a cool racoon jacket swinging over sweet naughty shorts; in soft nappa leather jackets in nude or red worn over
trousers or narrow pencil skirts. Silver shone in a swaying loose jacket topping evening shorts, as sequined shorts and mini skirts. Strong safari dresses and a trench in khaki with black leather sleeves and pockets were spot on, as were sexy, tight, short leopard chiffon dresses. The whole collection, made in high quality materials for young, sensuous ladies, was a triumph for the designer – herself dressed in the collection’s fab orange loose dress gathered by a narrow belt in front. Kim Rasmussen must be ecstatic.

”Double vision and blurriness,” Henrik Vibskov offered as the basis of “The Bathtub Observer.” Why? an old intern of his, whose sense of balance was “completely fucked up.” The designer and his team explored the notion of confusing, blurred disorientation, further expanding the idea to bathtubs and the eeriness of sounds distorted in a bathroom. Conceptual much? Yep. But Vibskov translated his flighty concepts into a very relatable collection. The distorted double vision was evident in garments and prints; the latter inspiration was audible in the music played live by Danish musician Bjørn Svin. The location (also the brand’s new HQ) was
decorated with pieces of hair meant to resemble those sole shed hairs always found in a bathroom, as if we were sitting in a 60-meter-long bathtub. But let’s look at the collection. a vast use of colors, shapes, and prints is one of the signatures of Vibskov’s playful universe, and it’s no different this time around, with a lot of oversize pieces for both women and men. In the prints he looked towards africa, mixing warm, earthy tones with dashes of striking blue and yellow, distorting everything and
referencing Keith Haring. a beautiful green one with splashes of red offered an almost hypnotizing 3D experience when examined closely. Craftsmanship was evident in the woollen hats, hand-cut by “a small asian guy,” the designer noted, adding in an ironic, tired voice that it was “quite the project.” He dislocated cuts or, as seen in a hard-core neoprene pieces, turned things inside out. The shoes were the absolute visualization of the designer’s inspiration, the chunky wooden soles tilting the balance of the wearer. It felt right, recognizable in the Vibskov way, and perfectly perfect for everyone who wants to have a little bit of fun.
