FLASHBACK TO THE FUTURE ELSEBETH MOURITSEN
sic roared and an interesting mix of street-cast mingled with high-profile models. I don’t remember much about the clothes, but Mads Nørgaard made a point about diversity in fashion and what Copenhagen is – also – about. He rocked the city, and the industry.
Editor-in-Chief
His Christiania Trilogy of shows are some of the many flashbacks I have had to the past decade, while preparing for this anniversary issue of The Daily; saluting Copenhagen Fashion Week, for its 10 years as a uniting, governing body for the Danish fashion industry. Picture a dimly lit, dark night in the autonomous neighbourhood, Freetown Christiania. Arriving last minute from the previous shows, we, a busload of editors, were dropped off at the back entrance of the music venue Den Grå Hal (The Grey Hall), entering through the backstage area to get to our seats. It was the last scheduled show of the day, so many of the audience members had frequented the open bar, hours in advance, and the steaming venue was packed with people - and not all fashionistas. There was a party atmosphere from start to finish as the edgy mu-
And I am not the only one to take a stroll down memory lane. Our most prominent contributor is CEO Eva Kruse, whom I sat down with, in an interview to reflect and predict, and in true fashion she chose the world’s longest catwalk, through the pedestrian streets of Copenhagen, from 2010 as her special moment; because it was about sharing fashion with the public, which is a cause close to her heart and might I add, also because her unremitting approach to making big things happen, worked out, even if it was pouring down.
We, at The Daily, are happy to be sharing with you, some of the best, funniest, and most fantastic memories from fashion insiders, in this issue, which is also an important part of the anniversary. The foundation for the paper was laid in 2007, when Copenhagen Fashion Week, in collaboration with DANSK magazine, founded the publication, and since the launch of The Daily in 2014, it has been the official trade newspaper in its own right, where the constant flow of information is translated into knowledge by our great team of writers and reviewers, complemented by equally talented photographers. As we are all totally bombarded with news and impressions during the fashion week, we at The Daily aim to collect the most relevant information, every day in print. And should you miss out on one of the physical copies, you can always find them on issuu.com/copenhagenfashionweek later, to flip through the pages digitally. We look forward to creating another 10 years of fashion history together with you here in Copenhagen.

FASHION IS HER HOME TURF
Ten years of relentless work to put Copenhagen Fashion Week on the world map calls for a celebration of mastermind, CEO Eva Kruse. In this interview, she faces the challenges of the future with hard talk about her wish list for the anniversary. In the world of sports, everybody knows about the advantage of being on home turf. That goes for fashion as well. In the mind of Danish Fashion Institute’s CEO Eva Kruse, who initiated the concept of Copenhagen Fashion Week as we know it today, the past decade has proven the city, the trade fairs, and the show circuit to be common breaking ground for Danish fashion. This is both in terms of domestic design talent, and ethic values, not to mention its large contribution to the national budget. During her prior position as magazine editor, Eva Kruse got her inspiration from trips abroad, which led to the vision of transferring the excitement surrounding a fashion week to Copenhagen with the rush of the show schedule, the joy of creating news, the flashes of cameras and the international clientele of buyers and press that would help spread the word. In 2006 the first Copenhagen Fashion Week saw the day of light with showrooms, trade fairs and runway shows working together under the same umbrella. To celebrate the ten year anniversary, The Daily sat down with Eva Kruse to reflect and look forward. We have seen fashion weeks come and go in neighbouring countries, what do you owe to the uninterrupted success of Copenhagen Fashion Week? We may still be small compared to the “big four” – Paris, Milan, New York and London – but we have stood the test of time and achieved one of our main goals; to become visible on the global fashion map by creating a platform for Danish design and trade with our own identity. We had an ambition to become the 5th global fashion city and to get proper coverage on Style.com with reviews and runway photos. The Style.com (now Vogue.com) position finally happened in 2015, but we have also worked hard to brand Copenhagen as more than just a fashion capital, to make it a worthwhile destination because there is of the constant buzz about the city with the food scene, the architecture and the lifestyle. We’re still striving to get further international recognition and have never let go of the ambition to become the fifth global fashion capital. At the end of the day whether we make it or not all comes down to critical mass of talent. No matter how well my team and I plan and prepare the fashion week, venues, events and activities – we are no more interesting than the fashion our designers and brands present.

What it is the biggest achievement? Apart from being accepted by the international fashion community, I am proud that we have managed to make it a “democratic” fashion week that is open to the public by initiating the Copenhagen Fashion Festival. It started with huge TV-screens on squares and streets with streaming of the runway shows. Now it runs parallel with the trade fairs and the show schedule with its own programme, offering hundreds of events and activities. This season, it goes even further as the official show venue, City Hall, will be open for a Zalando show for consumers only, but I suppose the press is welcome, too! Looking back at the past ten years, has Copenhagen Fashion Week gotten the deserved official backing and recognition? Politically yes. The decision-makers are ready to defend our trade as a business, because we are among the top five contributors to Danish economy, however, I still long to see the cultural community take an equal interest in fashion. In my mind, it is not only a commercial business. It also offers an alternative artistic and cultural input. Some of the designers go to great lengths in their efforts in the design of the clothes but also in their presentation of it, so I miss a serious discussion about fashion as an artistic discipline and a recognition thereof, as it is seen in Paris and London. Luckily, the Danish media has over the years increased its focus on fashion with serious reports in newspapers and on the cultural TV-channel DR K, so let’s hope that they can help broaden the perception of what fashion is, so it is not always a debate of either the models’ BMI or sales figures. Does the fashion industry support Copenhagen Fashion Week enough? It is no secret that I miss some of the big shows with big venues that took place before the financial crisis. They had lavish sets and international models walking the runway, but we have to be realistic. I know that everybody contributes in the best way that they possibly can, so even though there is no longer big budgets, designers and brands still offer their creativity. As a governing body, it is our job to offer the best possible platforms to give the brands the limelight, but we can never decide what and how they choose to present themselves. Has it had an impact that some designer brands have moved on to London and Paris fashion weeks? It is always easier to become a big fish in a small pond! But I think it is a natural development for brands like Soulland, Anne
Sofie Madsen, Ole Yde, Henrik Vibskov, Astrid Andersen and Designers Remix to want to test the waters outside of Denmark with catwalk shows. And we praise and support whenever a Danish brand gains success internationally. And when they do, they are actually really good ambassadors for Danish design, so it all comes back to us, eventually. I think we are more fortunate than e.g. Stockholm Fashion Week, as they may generally profit on the huge international success of Acne, but the brand never does anything in their homeland. I would be more sorry, if the Danish brands completely abandoned us by not being at the trade fairs or in their showrooms during Copenhagen Fashion Week. What challenges are ahead for the fashion week as a medium?
ion week and as much as we would like to spread the word on sustainability, the timing is not good to combine the two. Instead, we have prepared a high-level quality program of talks today and tomorrow in collaboration with CIFF at their fair at Bella Center. At these talks we, in a more distilled form, offer interested professionals, a serious exchange of views on trends, denim and ethic values. We will use the two panel debates to evaluate how this is something we can incorporate in future fashion weeks, since the interest sparked from the Fashion Summit, definitely is something we should pursue as another quality of attending Copenhagen Fashion Week.
If you could have one wish fulfilled for the 10year anniversary, what would it be? Politically, I would love for Copenhagen Fashion Week to be part of the governments Finance Bill, so we could market ourselves better as the huge cultural and professional event that it is. We get a little support from the City of Copenhagen to help develop the cultural and public Fashion Festival, but to keep the high standards of the trade-only part of fashion week, we need to up the ante – and I can guarantee that the investment in Copenhagen Fashion Week will payback in many folds in increased exports. Words: Elsebeth Mouritzen
In a digitally driven world, one might ask themselves, if it is not old fashioned to meet up twice a year and show your designs before they are produced for a specific season – when in reality most brands have four to eight collections (and deliveries) on a continues basis. In some ways the fashion industry remains a dinosaur with runway shows, front rows, trade fairs, and showrooms. I am anticipating that the future will embrace modernization more, repeal the seasons and take advantage of the possibilities to change the time frame of design, production and delivery. Perhaps the future might also entail digital catwalk shows aimed solely at consumers. That said, I still think that there will always be a need for personal encounters between people and to see things live, to feel the fabrics etc. but things are changing rapidly and we are keeping a close eye on the evolution. How do you see Copenhagen Fashion Week stand out from the rest in the next decade? Since 2007, sustainability has been high on our agenda, which we formalized two years later with the creation of the bi-annual Copenhagen Fashion Summit. Our devotion is to make it the greenest fashion week, as New York Times has already declared it, and we are several steps closer to that goal. If we could be the fashion week that offers the highest number of sustainable brands, we would also strengthen our positon internationally and it would give us a different window to the world that would be naturally linked to our cultural heritage and Nordic identity and thereby make Copenhagen Fashion Week very attractive. What are you looking most forward to this time? We have often been asked to combine the Summit’s content and success with the fash-

FASHION NIGHT IN
FASHION MEETS ART The visionary designer Sabine Poupinel has always had a fondness of collaborating with young rising talents and established brands, which above all cherish the craft of fashion. Last season she took to celebrate this more artful approach with the exhibition Fan Out, and the turnout was so successful that she repeats it under the umbrella of Copenhagen Fashion Festival, combing fashion with lights, sound, movement, and images for three days at the venue Møntergade 3, opening this afternoon. Sabine Poupinel has curated the exhibition and presents 11 designers under the name FanOut#2, where they aim to create a broader understanding of fashion through experimentation, and in continuation of the exhibition, there will be performances, talks and music curated by Esben Weile Kjær and Mia Bess Poupinel.

DR K is stepping up its fashion week coverage this season with more fashion related shows than ever. In collaboration with our public counterpart, Copenhagen Fashion Festival, DR K gives exclusive access to Copenhagen Fashion Week each night in a programme series, hosted by Chris Pedersen, that takes viewers behind the scenes of the days’ shows and trends. To get you in the right fashion week spirit, DR K will air fashion related documentaries such as the brand new Made in Italy; mapping the history of Italian fashion, Pop Models; a documentary about the role of models in pop culture, and Trend Beacons; which looks into the hidden world of trend forecasting. In honour of Copenhagen Fashion Week, DR K has produced the documentary Mode & Sex, highlighting the relationship between fashion and sex.
The chosen designers are a generous mix of young and veteran, but who all experiment with the perception of fashion.

HILFIGER GOES DIGITAL IN DANISH SHOWROOM Only a year after opening their first European digital showroom in Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Stockholm are top priorities of Tommy Hilfiger’s expansion and implementation of the more eco-friendly way of doing business-to-business. The digital showroom revolutionises the sales experience for both retailers and internal sales teams by offering a more engaging buying approach, as the interactive system blends collection information, sales tools and brand content in one seamless touchscreen interface. It is part of Tommy Hilfiger’s on going commitment to sustainability, as it significantly reduces the impacts of sample production, including reduced manufacturing and shipping, as well as eliminating the need for printed order forms.

MARIMEKKO’S STRONG IMPACT
Photos: Zoe Ghertner
The iconic Finnish brand Marimekko takes advantage of Copenhagen Fashion Week and the Fashion Festival on Friday to invite consumers to their Danish flagship store and to make the global launch of a new distinctive fashion collection arriving this Spring.
The look was far more pragmatic and Scandinavian than her French counterpart, but during the 50’s and 60’s it laid the foundation for a successful concept with big prints in vivid colours on cotton that a string of equally strong designers since have kept alive.
Marimekko has a proud story of strong women such as founder Armi Ratia and her fellow designer Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmsniemi, who in the 1950s was the Finnish equivalent to France’s Coco Chanel, in the sense that she too wanted to liberate women and make it possible to move freely in loose-hanging clothes.
Latest to join the ranks is Anna Teurnell, who in 2014 was appointed Creative Director, and now presents the SS16 collection as the first she has directed herself for Marimekko. Apart from being “brought up” on the Finnish brand, she has a degree from Beckmans College in Stockholm and experience from different brands, but most notably at H&M, where
her last position was Head of Design for their high street-brand &Other Stories. For the accessories line she has added shoes, and new designs for bags. The minimalistic style and bold colours of the shoes complement the ready-to-wear pieces The new canvas bags combine signature prints with colour and leather details to give a nod to the future.
A LOUNGE FOR BUSINESS True to tradition, Copenhagen Fashion Week invites industry professionals to the Business Lounge at City Hall. This season, the Business Lounge has been created in collaboration with Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official business lounge partner Sofakompagniet. Sofakompagniet has decorated the Business Lounge premises with stylish and comfortable furniture to ensure the very best surroundings for meetings, working and lounging. The Business Lounge also provides visitors with power supply, the newest issue of Copenhagen Fashion Week’s newspaper The Daily, free food, and beverages. The Business Lounge is open for professionals throughout fashion week, February 3-5. Apply for access at business@copenhagenfashionweek.com.

ENCOURAGING FIGURES Copenhagen Fashion Week opens today in a state of optimism. The turnover in Danish fashion has never been better, and it is both export and domestic sales that contribute to the increasing growth, says a recent survey by the trade association Dansk Mode & Textil. - 2015 has been a record-breaking year for the fashion business. Never before has Danish enterprises sold so many pieces of garments, which is mainly due to a significant rise in export, this time by 6 percent, says CEO Eva Kruse, Danish Fashion Institute and Copenhagen Fashion Week. - All the more satisfying, the growth comes from important European markets such as Germany and England, but domestic sales are also up for the first time since 2008 with 2 percent, so all in all I have great expectations, that we are facing a very good fashion week and trade fairs, Eva Kruse concludes.

FASHION FLASHBACK
It has been a memorable 10 years for everybody involved in Copenhagen Fashion Week, so far. We have asked some of you to share your biggest moments and funniest incidents from front row and backstage, trade fairs and parties.
NAJA HELENE HERZUM
CEO, Holm & Bertung SMOKING STUNT The best PR-stunt? Well, two packs of cigarettes for an entrance ticket to Henrik Vibskov’s show just never gets old, does it? FASHION VICTIM It’s not very nice, but what I remember most vividly is probably CIFF’s trend show that season where that poor model with the long cape was dragged down through a hatch in the floor. By her neck. It was insane. And nice to hear later that day, that she was fairly unharmed by the incident. ARACHNOPHOBIA Designers Remix had their show at Kastrup Søbad one summer season. It was an incredibly beautiful location for a show at dusk. They just hadn’t calculated that all sorts of bugs and crawlers would flock to the projector light, as soon as the spots went on. And that the spider webs (including their inhabitants) hanging from all the beams would become very, very visible. Quite amusing for a non-arachnophobe to see the entire fashion press wriggle away from the insects. SEAT FILLER One time at a Baum und Pferdgarten show at the National Gallery a well-meaning seater poked a woman on the shoulder and asked her, rather determinedly, to move away from HRH the Crown Princess’ seat. Right until she realised that it was – you guessed it – HRH the Crown Princess she had just poked. She. Was. So. Embarassed.

BARBARA Í Designer
NEARLY NAKED At one show we did, we sent down the runway a quite intricately tailored showpiece dress that had a fine fastening on the neck, while the silhouette in the back dropped into a deep black plunge. As the model was strutting down the catwalk, the fastening opened at the turn and we were counting the seconds backstage for the front to drop and expose all the womanly holiness… Luckily, the model made it just in time!
Styling Director, ELLE Danmark DRIPPING SUCCESS I will never forget when Stine Goya presented her SS10 collection at the Østerbro indoor swimming pool – I can almost still feel the chlorine in my nostrils. Aside from the fact that the location in itself was a surprise, Medina performed the mega hit ’Kun for mig’ from the 10-meter diving board while the synchronised swimmers were ’dancing’ in the water and the models walked along the pool rim, with glitter lips and dressed in Goya’s signature pastels. That’s what I call an outstanding fashion moment!

Creative Director, Designers Remix MINOR DETAILS What has surprised me the most about setting up a show during fashion week is all the things you suddenly have to deal with… Green algea, senior citizen swimming, an ice cream truck that suddenly wants to open up in the middle of your catwalk.
THE DAILY
I once had an idea for a show that would transition directly from the show finale to the after-party. Picture this: all the models walk in at the end, the guests join them on the runway, disco balls lower from the ceilings (which would of course be hidden until then), roll-in bar counters, waiters, champagne and the whole shebang and everyone would just dance, dance, dance the night away. It couldn’t be done though… the logistics of it were not possible. Where would we “hide” the party while the show was going on? That was one of the ideas for the 10-year anniversary show. BEST VENUE One of the best venues we have used must have been The Royal Danish Theatre. It was an amazing experience to work in such a beautiful space and with the people from the theatre – but definitely a challenge. And very odd seating, compared to the usual (though we were never very fond of doing traditional things). We decided to equip all our guests with opera glasses to allow them to get close to the show, the products, and the details. Spectacular.
Journalist and TV-Host of “Modeugen Nu”
Malene Birger’s farewell show was spectacular. The Royal Danish Theatre, HRH Crown Princess Mary accompanied by HRH Princess Marie, small bags with elegant opera glasses and a best of- collection of suits, evening gowns and extravagant purses. In just a few years, Malene Birger had created two milestones in Danish fashion, so it was a well-deserved applause she received after the show, which was followed by a party with champagne and a mountain of hors d’oeuvres with the By Malene Birger logo. She is a perfectionist. SHORTEST SLEEP My first season as Editor in Chief of DANSK Daily was crazy. We had an office right in the middle of Kgs. Nytorv, checked in at work at 8 in the morning and worked hard until midnight when the newspaper was going to press. After this, we would throw a party at the office and move on to Cosy or Never Mind. There are several photos of me sleeping under the desk…

THE BIGGEST LOSS – ALMOST
BIG ACHIEVEMENT
In the middle of our 10-year anniversary show, a terrible storm drifted over Kgs. Nytorv and drenched the outdoor show in rain and winds of gale force. A lightning struck 40 meters away from the stage and destroyed the asphalt in an area of 10 m2. This really made us sweat. I was so happy that in spite of everything the show was successful and nobody was hurt, so I had to shed a tear behind the curtain.
I still think the best show we ever did in Denmark was also the first show we did in Copenhagen. It was a pure menswear show during AW08. It was really stressful because we had to do a women’s show during London Fashion Week two weeks later. I remember that the entire Peter Jensen team, flew out two days before the show with the whole collection in big suitcases, not having slept for about 300 years, and as we arrived in Copenhagen they had lost the suitcases. By this point I was ready to kill myself, before the eyes of the lazy clerk that kept going ”No, I don’t know where your suitcases are”. I kept crying ”But they are bloody huge suitcases that can hold a dead body not even folded up.” In the end, a man came out from the luggage room with two huge suitcases and I ran over and kissed him (well almost).
I’m quite proud of having been one of the people behind Mark Tan’s earrings for last season’s look. Hoops with fur - urban and sophisticated at the same time.

MARTINA BONNIER Editor in Chief, Damernas Värld ROYAL INTEREST One of the best parts of Copenhagen Fashion Week is seeing Crown Princess Mary. She takes a keen interest in fashion and is very representative of Danish fashion — much more than the Swedish Royal Family.

HOTTEST SHOW The show I’m the most pleased with having worked on must be the Stine Goya show at the Østerbro indoor swimming pool. I had an old high school friend of mine, who was the national champion in synchronised swimming, dance in the water with her team before show start. Goya had picked out the most beautiful models and the collection was bright orange, a nice contrast to the turquoise water. I suggested having the up-and-coming singer Medina perform her song ’Kun for mig’ at the finale and though people were on the fence about this at first, I pushed the decision through. I thought it was perfect having her stand on the 10 meter diving board in a flowing gown, belting out the song while the audience, sweating from the heat, were fanning themselves with pastel Stine Goya fans. Way too much, but way too good.

THE BEST SHOWS – MAYBE
Fashion Week
The most spectacular show was Henrik Vibskov’s at Charlottenborg, with the pink tongue. I had just seen it in Paris, and it was surreal to see it in this setting. Oh, wait, when Henrik Vibskov did his show at Papirøen with the water dance. No wait, when Han Kjøbenhavn did their SS16 show with the dogs. Or Ganni’s tennis court! Or Wood Wood at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. Fuck, I don’t know, it’s always good.
AS ØLAND Creative Director, DM&T BURNING AMBITION When I was Fashion Editor at Eurowoman we got the brilliant idea to drive to the shows on scooters. It turned out to be a rather bad idea though, as we drove in pouring rain from Hellerup to Christianshavn while everyone on the press bus waved while overtaking us. I got a burn wound on my arm from the engine’s exhaustion, which is still there!
FASHION FRACTURE At the opening party of one summer fashion week I was dropped (perhaps a synchronised crash) in the middle of an elegant dance move by my friend Chris Pedersen (fashion TV host at DR K) and broke my arm. Bad move, bad timing. Super impractical to lose the ability to use my right arm, leaving me to arrange a fashion week with only one viable arm. Moreover, it was a very hot summer so it was insufferable to have my arm in a cast. Thus, a few years later I chose to wait until after fashion week breaking my arm – this time the left arm and it was winter. At least I learned my lesson. SHRINKING SEATS One season we had moved the official show venue from the City Hall to TAP 2 in Carlsberg. The evening before fashion week, my colleague calls me up from the venue and informs me that our production company unfortunately made a small mistake when measuring the venue and that there was in fact a lot less space for chairs (thereby seated guests) as we first calculated. As a consequence, all the designers showing at TAP 2 would be lacking several seats. As is well known, fashion week is all about ‘the front row’, so at that point good advice didn’t come cheap. We went into total panic mode and moved as much as possible, chopped off a heel and cut a toe to handle the worst crisis. Still, a few front row seats had to be cut. ABANDONED EDITOR We are usually very organised with the group of select international press that my colleague and I escort through fashion week, and one winter season after doing a headcount we felt sure that everyone was there, so we drove on to the next show. My colleague and I caught each other’s eyes in the car, both sensing that we had forgotten something, unable to shake the feeling off. We went through the lists and discovered that we had forgotten an editor – on top of it all, she had left her coat in the car and was waiting outside in the minus 10 degrees cold – so we made a U-turn and hurried back to pick up the shivering cold American editor.

EMILIE MØLLER & MIE NIELSEN Femmes Régionales THE LONGEST WALK The most spectacular show location in CFW history is definitely the World’s Greatest Catwalk, a 1,6 km street catwalk through Copenhagen. An insane and incredibly fun project started among others by the CFW office and we did the creative direction, casting, and styling of 220 models, Pierrot and his friends, celebrities with babies, sailors and what have you. So many things could have gone wrong but it turned out to be a really fun and heartfelt project that the whole industry partook in. MOST HYPER HOUNDS We can’t help but think of the time we were backstage surrounded by a giant bunch of hyperactive show poodles that were to be a part of the show, asking ourselves: what the hell were we thinking…
MAIKEL TAWADROS Designer MOST NERVOUS MOMENT I’m not sure if it’s funny, probably more surprising. I remember when HRH Crown Princess Mary visited my trade fair stand to see my collection, and I had to try to be calm and collected, though I was dying on the inside of nervousness. Ultimately I forgot everything about appropriate form of address. All the way through the 10-minute conversation I addressed her in the singular form ”du” rather than the polite plural form ”De”.
WALI MOHAMMED BARRECH Designer MOST ATTENTION The show that got me the most attention must have been my AW14 ”ICEBREAKER” show. I had a huge pile of blood in the middle of the space. I guess we all adore violence.

BIGGEST SURPRISE There have been a lot of pleasant surprises from new talents in the show schedule in recent years, but the biggest surprise was probably when Astrid Andersen presented her first show. She was completely unknown because she had studied in London, and she showed something you had never seen before. Tupac was being played on the grand piano, she had made a basketball net of gold chains and I was blown away. BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE Vibskov’s show in Søndermarken was an insanely beautiful experience; the installations and experience were very convincing as we walked all the way through the park to arrive at the final location. The models pushed around animals, it was pitch black and the lighting was incredible while they walked around in the tall grass and we were seated, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. It was fabulous. WRONG DECEASED One of the February fashion weeks coincided with the death of Alexander McQueen. I was an assistant at Cover magazine back then and was at the office when the news broke. We rushed on to a show at the City Hall, where everybody was beginning to realise the news, but a lot of them had misheard it and walked around yelling ”Alexander Kølpin is dead, Alexander Kølpin is dead.” Major difference (AK is a former Royal ballet dancer, now director).
THE DAILY
Head of PR, Designers Remix BLOODY BUZZ While working for the Wali Mohammed Barrech AW14 show at a PR agency, we poured 20 litres of pig’s blood onto the catwalk which made all the models slide around in their big, luxurious furs. It was horrifying! But we got some amazing photos out of it and it created a lot of buzz around the brand. SWEDISH MISHAP I once had a Swedish blogger who tried to trick me into believing that she was a German princess. The absence of a royal family in Germany exposed her. WHEELIN’ IT I have so may fun anecdotes! During my first ever fashion week I drove around in a big Range Rover worth 2 million DKK. I managed to get myself two parking tickets, one speeding ticket and a bent tow bar. The sponsor wasn’t happy but I had such a fun time driving around in that extravagant car. MISSING HIGHLIGHT I decided to skip Henrik Vibskov’s SS15 show in favour of a cold bottle of rosé at Papirøen even though the show took place just metres away. The show turned out to be absolutely amazing and the highlight of fashion week. But what can you do – rosé is always a good idea.

SARAH SKARUM Journalist, Berlingske BLISSFUL DREAM Henrik Vibskov’s show in Ørstedsparken stands out for me as something really special. It was the essence of a dream of a summer night in Copenhagen, where the city looked like a fairy tale, and reality drifted into something dream-like. When the rowing boat with lanterns drifted under the bridge, while people talked, greeted each other, toasted and laughed, I felt blissful. Vibskov stages incredible shows and he repeatedly presents Copenhagen and the dream of living here in the most beautiful ways. His clothes represent the same dream, and maybe that’s why it always works, season after season. THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES One time the stylist Simon Rasmussen had tricked Danish Fashion Institute into believing he had created a new brand. I don’t remember with whom. The show featured people dressed as bag ladies but what was the most fun was the fashion ladies fighting for the goodie bags, containing all the silly gifts Simon himself had collected over the years. It was sublimely assuming – and very revealing in terms of how fond we are of free stuff. DELICATE DEBUT It’s difficult to be surprised by a young talent, because it’s a small city so we know the new ones before they stage a show. However, Ole Yde’s first show at the City Hall was particularly beautiful because he is so unique. Nothing bicycle-friendly or practical, just ostrich features and silk.

The most memorable show I have experienced in Copenhagen was Moonspoon Saloon’s first show at The Royal Danish Theatre. I have been to a lot of international shows, but I have never felt so honoured as I did there. We were just 75 people. The show was fantastic and the atmosphere amazing Nothing less!

HANDY HAIRSPRAYS
SMELL OF SUCCESS
Back in the days, Designers Remix was great at showing us different parts of the city. Their show at Kastrup Søbad was exquisite. Insanely beautiful in the photos – and on distance, but in real life the place was crawling with spiders that the audience fought by spraying hairspray from their goodie bags at them.
The craziest idea we had for a show must have been the Designers Remix show in the Elephant House at the Copenhagen Zoo. They had just built a new elephant house so we got the chance to set up a show in the old one. It worked really well for the show. The smell hadn’t completely subsided, though...

An unnamed person once seized the opportunity to snatch the seat of Copenhagen’s Mayor of Culture in the front row at our show and then offered her to sit between the chairs (read: to sit in his/her lap). However, The Mayor of Culture was super cool and calmly sat down between the two chairs.
DITTE REFFSTRUP Creative Director, Ganni SLUSH WITH A BUZZ Our SS15 show took place at noon on a hot summer day. We served slush ice for the guests in the midday sun, and people swallowed them so quickly to quench their thirst that they didn’t taste the vodka in it. As a result, most of the guests left the show with a midday buzz. goodie bags at them.

TIMELINE 2008
2006
Danish Fashion Institute saw the light of day in late 2005, and one of their more prominent goals was the formation of a fully fledged fashion week in Copenhagen. Just a few months later, in February 2006, the first show schedule was coordinated and promoted in an official guide: Copenhagen Fashion Week was born. The same season, the Municipality of Copenhagen offered CFW exclusive access to the stunning Copenhagen City Hall that still acts as the official venue for shows. By August 2006, more infrastructure like the free press bus was added, taking press from show to show by designers like Designers Remix, Noa Noa and Baum und Pferdgarten. A huge scoop for CFW was attracting the then Style.com editor Laird Borrelli-Persson who after her visit penned a front-page article on Copenhagen and Danish fashion.
Due to an increased public interest, CFW launched ‘Copenhagen Fashion Weekend’ (now called Copenhagen Fashion Festival), a collection of fabulous events aimed at Copenhagen’s fashionistas running parallel to fashion week. The first edition in February offered make-overs by L’Oréal Paris, a David Andersen exhibition, competitions for tickets to CFW’s most coveted shows and much more. In the summer of 2008, Copenhagen came out on top in Monocle Magazine’s survey of the most liveable cities in the world, and in August the fashion world proved its interest in the Danish capital as international journalists from publications like WWD, WGSN and V Magazine flocked to the city for fashion week – other prominent visitors include the iconic Lynn Yaeger, then a The Village Voice reporter, and Paper Magazine’s Mickey Boardman.
CFW caught the public’s attention as the big screens transmitting the fashion show video feed were moved to central locations, one Højbro Plads and City Hall Square. The first edition of the daily fashion week newspaper titled DANSK Daily was launched as a collaboration between DANSK and CFW and included show reviews and designers features. 2007 also saw the show debuts of the young designers Wood Wood and Stine Goya who wowed their audiences with their Scandi cool designs, inaugurating Copenhagen as a nesting place for creative fashion talents. Another show highlight was seeing the Danish supermodel Freja Beha make a rare catwalk appearance in her hometown for the InWear show at the City Hall in August.
CFW took a leap into the world league with The World’s Greatest Catwalk, an outdoor catwalk stretching 1,6 km through Central Copenhagen. The best Danish designers took part in the show that was opened by Bono’s wife Ali Hewson and the Danish supermodel Helena Christensen and featured 220 models. In May 2010 VMAN had dedicated a whole issue to Nordic fashion (including a steamy editorial shot on site in Copenhagen by Mario Testino with Candice Swanepoel), and during SS11 the fashion industry visionary and VMAN and V Magazine Editor-in-Chief Stephen Gan came to CFW to experience Danish fashion first-hand. As the first fashion week in the world, CFW launched a mobile app, allowing easy access to schedules, photos, and videos on the go.
This year, CFW reached a milestone by further proving its place as the leading fashion week in the Nordic Region and attracting the best Swedish and Finnish brands to showcase their collections on the catwalks of Copenhagen: Marimekko and Cheap Monday in AW09, Minimarket, Carin Wester, and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair in SS10. Among the international visitors in 2009 was one of the world’s most prominent fashion figures and then ELLE US Fashion Director Kate Lanphear who left Copenhagen’s fashionistas in awe during her SS10 visit. The same season, Henrik Vibskov’s ’Donkey Solar Experiment’ took the audience on an unforgettable journey in the Søndermarken park where the models walked with donkeys on a leash.

COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK
No.1 Autumn Winter 2016
February 3
It has been a successful ride since 2006 going from domestic platform to international fashion hub, and the journey continues…
2012
2014
A record-breaking year for CFW with a whopping 45 shows in the SS13 schedule. The same season, CFW snatched the rising Danish supermodel and Victoria’s Secret angel Josephine Skriver as campaign model. Like Anne Sofie Madsen before her, the then 22-year-old fashion designer Freya Dalsjø was selected for the SS13 opening show without previously having staged a fashion show. After the show, Dalsjø received critical acclaim for her “Girl Power” collection, styled with black and white leather caps and featuring latex pieces with cut-out details, feather jackets and leather skater skirts. One of the year’s most prominent guests was Derek Blasberg, the American blogger, reporter and general fashion VIP, whose CFW blog post dubbed Copenhagen “the city of the incredibly beautiful.”
The year was marked by the debut of the talented designer Anne Sofie Madsen who took Copenhagen by storm when she opened CFW with a tribal-themed collection. Other debuts count Tabernacle Twins, Magnus Löppe, and Dennis Lyngsø. SS11 saw the return of Swedish brands like Minimarket and the German megabrand Hugo Boss to Copenhagen’s catwalks, alongside local talents such as Soulland, Wackerhaus, and Astrid Andersen. The same season, the high-profile Vogue US editor Hamish Bowles sat in on the shows, praising the ”freshness” of CFW’s designers.
2011 copenhagenfashionweek.com
CFW amped up its green ambitions in 2014 following the appraisal from Financial Times in 2013 that declared Copenhagen Fashion Week the greenest one around. Proud to take on this label, 2014 saw the hitherto greatest number of sustainable CFW initiatives, including a focus on environmentally responsible brands like Barbara í Gongini and Fonnesbech, an exhibition of sustainable designs, and Fashion Exchange; a huge clothing swap event at City Hall Square. In late 2014, the trade fair landscape saw a major reshuffling with the closure of Gallery and the rebranding of Vision as Revolver, marked by the moving from Forum to Øksnehallen and Lokomotivværkstedet.
In February, CFW drew in two renowned international fashion houses as the British fashion legend Vivenne Westwood presented her Anglomania line, and Maison Christian Lacroix showcased furry fashions in collaboration with Kopenhagen Fur. Leveraging on the recent success of Danish childrenswear, CFW introduced an independent ‘Kids’ schedule to promote the newly launched CIFF Kids trade fair and the three childrenswear brands in the show schedule. The increased interest in staging a show in Copenhagen led to the decision to follow in the foot steeps of other international fashion weeks and introduce a stricter curation of the brands. The on and off schedules were introduced in August, the shows now divided into the two schedules by a committee of buyers, press and fashion creatives.
2013 THE DAILY
2015 was the year when the influential site Style.com included Copenhagen in its regular fashion week coverage, something that until then had been reserved for Paris, London, Milan and New York. An important benchmark for CFW, Development Director Anne Christine Persson called it ”the biggest acknowledgement Danish fashion has gotten in a long time.” In mid-2015 the Danish fashion industry proved its will to take social action as all CFW brands were now obligated to sign the newly tightened ethical charter, requiring among other things models wages and healthy food backstage. In February, Mark Kenly Domino Tan’s show at the Royal Danish Theatre felt like the arrival of a new shining star on Copenhagen’s fashion scene.

Condesa is a combined bar and eatery in Central Copenhagen but over the weekend the place turns into quite the party den. The kitchen offers a fresh and light interpretation of Mexican food – think tacos with white fish, ceviche and lots of greens (no enchiladas or nachos here) – that work perfect as a supplement to your drinks. The liquid offerings include beer, wines and cocktails, mostly tequila-based. Hotel Skt. Petri’s The Bar serves up the perfect combination of great cocktails and guests from all over the world, lighting up the late hours in Copenhagen’s Latin Quarter. This fashion week, The Bar is sure to light up cocktail hour with a two-forone deal on cocktails from 16.00-18.00.

An established star on the speciality beer scene, Mikkeller Bar is a small, cool place for beer enthusiasts and novices to experience top quality micro-brewed beer, mostly from Mikkeller’s own brewery. The bar is located in the heart of the Vesterbro District and features interior decorating by the fashionable creative agency Femmes Régionales, which adds a sense of sophistication uncommon to beer bars. Previously voted the best bar in Copenhagen by Politiken, Mikkeller has since expanded to cities like San Francisco, Barcelona and Reykjavik. Founded by a Danish sailor that went ashore in 1917, Bobi-Bar has since become an institution on the Copenhagen bar scene. The décor of red tablecloths, lamps and wallpaper hasn’t changed in a century and the beer is still served in bottles. A slice of last century Bohemia in the Danish capital, Bobi-Bar is frequented by the likes of students, artists, journalists and government officials. An extra tip: if you’re feeling peckish, have one of Bobi’s famous hard-boiled eggs.
Named after the postal code in which it resides, 1105 is an elegant and pared-down cocktail bar in the centre of Copenhagen. The cocktails are the centre of attention here and consequently the décor is subtle and sophisticated with a soft light and gentle grey walls. The crowd is grown up and the music is a smooth mix of Motown and jazz.

Founded in 1999 and located in Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District since 2007, Galleri Bo Bjerggaard is one of Copenhagen’s most prominent galleries in international contemporary category. Browsing the gallery, you will find works by Danish artists like Per Kirkeby, John Kørner and Poul Gernes as well as international artists Georg Baselitz, Marcel van Eeden and Jonathan Meese among many others. The gallery also has a broad selection of photo and video art of high international quality. The first public museum in Denmark at its opening in 1848, the extraordinary building was built to house a collection of works by the world-famous Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Thorvaldsen was one of the most famous artists in the 19th century, commissioned to work for the Pope, Napoleon and Europe’s royal families. Today, the museum also exhibits Thorvaldsen’s own large collection of paintings by European artists. Besides the main collection, the museum also houses changing exhibitions in contemporary sculpture and painting. Martin Asbæk Gallery was established in 2005 and focuses on Scandinavian and international artists working in a wide range of media. Artists currently exhibited include Kristian Dahlgaard, Paul McDevitt and Clare Woods. The resident artists have exhibited at art biennales, museums and galleries around the world. The gallery is located on Bredgade, a gallery-heavy street close to the royal palace. In fact, Martin Asbæk Gallery neighbours the renowned Asbæk Gallerie run by Martin’s brother Jacob Asbæk. The David Collection, housed in a beautiful building that overlooks the Rosenborg Castle Gardens, exhibits a large collection of Western and Eastern fine and applied arts. The cornerstone of the collection was laid by Christian Ludvig David, who decided to preserve his art for posterity in the form of a museum. There are three permanent collections: Islamic art, European 18th century art and Danish Early Modern art. The Islamic collection is the largest in Scandinavia covering the classical Islamic world from India in the East to Spain in the West. Seen from the outside, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is an impressive 19th century architectural gem. Inside, the vast collection of ancient and modern art offers a unique and excellent art experience. The department of antiquities exhibits Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman art, a tour of 3,500 years of art history. The modern department focuses on Danish and French work among them Danish Golden Age paintings, French impressionism, Rodin’s sculptures and Degas’ bronzes.

No stranger to the world of fashion, this café was co-founded by Soulland’s CEO Jacob Kampp Berliner. The menu offers a morning plate with all the basics: soft-boiled egg, ham, sausage, cheese, jam, baked tomatoes and fruit as well as a sweet edition that includes skyr with granola and pancakes. The many charms of Granola include the 1930s décor and atmosphere and the location on a cosy street in mundane Frederiksberg.
1. MUSLING
Wulff & Konstali is a new brunch favourite situated in an industrial neighbourhood on the island of Amager, close to the beach and not too far from the CIFF trade fair. Compose your own instagramable breakfast by crossing off either 5 or 7 things from the brunch menu, among them almond croissants, thyme sausages and, of course, skyr.
2. BROR
Once a bar catering to dodgy characters, Dyrehaven is now one of the gentrified Vesterbro District’s most popular cafés. The décor is still reminiscent of its past as a bar, which adds to the casual and cosy atmosphere. Get one of their breakfast combos, all with Danish rye bread and eggs and either cheese, avocado, salmon or all three.
Skt. Petri Hotel’s restaurant Central Kitchen in the charming Latin Quarter serves an excellent breakfast buffet with a wide selection of bread and pastries, breakfast must-haves like eggs and bacon, fruit, yoghurt, cereals and with the option of making your own waffles. Central Kitchen is lofty and spacious, which provides a relaxing setting to start off your day.
A new café in town, already renowned for their delicious and photogenic breakfast platter with eggs, fennel sausage, avocado, rye bread and much more. For those with a smaller appetite, their skyr servings or grape fruit salads should do the trick. By noon, the menu shifts to French croques or classic Danish open-face sandwiches.

Musling (literally “clam”) is a new seafood hotspot in Central Copenhagen spawned by the people behind the successful Kødbyens Fiskebar. True to its name, the menu features several types of oysters (available for breakfast as well) and various other fish, squids and shellfish. As a deliberate choice, only few of the restaurant’s tables can be booked in advance so there’s a good chance you will be able to get a table when you drop by, even on a busy night. The lovechild of the two Noma alumni Samuel Nutter and Victor Wågman, BROR is a truly Nordic restaurant that takes its culinary inspiration from nature, the changing seasons and their childhoods in the Nordic Region. Following the seasonal change, the kitchen uses the best Nordic produce available creating a style of food at the intersection of comfort and innovation. The tasting menu is priced at just below 400 DKK with the choice of adding an accompanying glass of wine per dish. One of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in Copenhagen since it was first admitted to the Michelin Guide in 2004, restaurant Formel B has since changed course to pursue a more informal dining experience but kept its Michelin star. Undoubtedly still a gourmet restaurant, Formel B’s cuisine is rooted in classic French cooking but made of the best Danish produce. The menu offers 20 small dishes from the savoury and sweet kitchen, some change seasonally while others are stable Formel B classics. Llama’s unique decorating (think colourful Mexican tiles and a nightclub-esque feeling) secured it an international design award in 2015. The cuisine is South American giving you a taste of countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico with an eclectic pick-and-choose menu of snacks, small dishes, side-orders and deserts. Towards the entrance, Llama has a cocktail bar where recurring ingredients count pisco, tequila, mescal and rum. Spice up your steak dinner with an incredible view of Copenhagen’s rooftops. The Mash family recently opened a new restaurant on the 12th floor of Tivoli Hotel complete with a sky bar and one of Denmark’s most extensive wine offerings. True to Mash’s tradition, the menu offers excellent meats with great side-orders and sauces.
