A STORE WITH CHARM Premium shoe store Scarpa is quite a fnd, ofering visitors the chance to shop for hand-made Italian leather shoes in an endearing, welcoming little boutique. The brand uses leather that is vegetable-dyed and tanned to ensure clients take home a pair of shoes designed with uncompromising craftsmanship. Its footwear is also well known for its unparalleled comfort; the leather goes through a wash process that results in a shoe

which wraps closely to the foot, guaranteeing a perfect ft. Scarpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storefront, surrounded by pots of fowers and cobblestones, is just as charming, and passers-by are enticed in by the quaint details. Inside, mood lighting and large mirrors border the wooden cash desk that features a carved Scarpa logo. The boutique is a true delight, and not to be overlooked. rf Scarpa, Amagertorv 14, 1160 Copenhagen, +45 3393 1501, scarpa.dk * for map go to page 82 Save up to 19% by shopping tax free, see page 90

The increasingly hip Frederiksberg area, a short walk north-west of central Copenhagen, is home to Black’s two concept stores. At 105 Gammel Kongevej you’ll fnd Black’s womenswear store, with its menswear branch at number 103. Both boutiques stock a mixture of fashion and interior items; the Black team is keen to emphasise that these are not trenddriven stores, they simply select

and anaconda-heeled pumps, clutches, bags, wallets, make-up purses and iPhone sleeves are some of our favourites. For those who prefer a more androgynous look, opt for the slip-on boots with suede toe-cap detail: the perfect combination of Chelsea boot and high-top trainer. sm Decadent Copenhagen, Regnegade 3, 1110 Copenhagen, +45 7070 7637, decadentcopenhagen.com * for map go to page 85 globalblue.com

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HILFIGER This year is American lifestyle brand Tommy Hilfger’s 30th anniversary, and the brand’s spring collection is a perfect showcase of the reasons behind its longevity. The signature Hilfger blend of dressed-up glamour and dresseddown ease, drawn from the east

coast of the US, comes out in relaxed silhouettes realised in crisp whites. The accessories add a dash of rock ‘n’ roll style; from scarves splashed with stars to trilbies and ankle boots, they add a grungy edge to the clean lines and colours of the collection. Hilfger has a lot in the pipeline this year, making it a brand to watch out for in 2015. hl Tommy Hilfger, Østergade 26, 1100 Copenhagen, +45 3332 1800, tommy.com * for map go to page 82

Paper towels have been used in the kitchen since the 1930s but the way they are stored has evolved since then, thanks to brands such as Vipp, a third-generation Danish family business founded by metalworker Holger Nielsen over 75 years ago. Vipp has done a great deal to make our lives easier; the homeware design company was a pioneer of the pedal bin, and now, after many a bowl, breadbox, soap dispenser and espresso cup, comes its latest kitchenware classic: a kitchen roll holder made of black powder-coated die cast aluminium. The fnal article, developed through 18 prototypes, has an integrated arm to control the paper roll, so you get one sheet at a time, not a dozen. It can carry a roll of any size, and is ideal for the messy as well as the design-conscious. js

IN STORE: HENRIK VIBSKOV Henrik Vibskov is one of Denmark’s best-known fashion designers. His biannual collections for men and women are distinctive for their bright and bold colours, prints and patterns, and quirky, casual aesthetics. Vibskov’s theatrical catwalk shows are a highlight on the Copenhagen Fashion Week calendar and he is a regular on the Paris Men’s Fashion Week schedule. He tells Gemma Latham and Ximena Daneri about the infuences and inspirations behind the brand’s fagship boutique in Copenhagen’s old town ‘The shop is located in a 17th-century house where the famous Danish literary critic and writer Georg Brandes lived in 1871. We chose the house as it’s in one of the most charming parts of Copenhagen – the old city area next to the Rundetårn (round tower), which was built by Christian IV in 1642 as an astronomical observatory. The inspiration behind the boutique was a cigar box. I designed the interior and helped build up the entire shop back in 2006 when we opened up the Copenhagen store. ‘It is always a pleasure to meet customers and friends in real life and having my own store creates a great opportunity for this. It also gives them a 3D experience of the brand: interior, clothing and fragrance. The store refects the Henrik Vibskov philosophy – a multitude of twisted yet tantalising universes. ‘My favourite thing about the store is all the people who come to visit and get inspired by our Save up to 19% by shopping tax free, see page 90

stems from our own collections. We look at the variations of the prints, materials, silhouettes and feel, and then make our selections according to the current season’s direction.’ Henrik Vibskov, Krystalgade 6, 1172 Copenhagen, +45 3314 6100, henrikvibskov.com * for map go to page 84

From historic Danish design houses to highend fashion boutiques, the attractions found in the Strøget shopping area are manifold, says Sally McIlhone

One of the longest car-free streets in Europe, and one of the largest pedestrianised districts in the world, Strøget enjoys international acclaim. Cars were banned here in 1962 and the latest fgures suggest that 250,000 people visit the six streets that make up the Strøget district every day. The area’s array of stores invites exploration; from Danish homeware giants and luxurious department stores to cuttingedge fashion design talent, Strøget is one of Copenhagen’s must-visit shopping spots.

Illums Bolighus is a worldfamous interior design and furniture emporium known for its selection of Danish design greats and its royal warrant from Queen Margrethe II. The store has been open since the 1950s – its current building was designed in 1961 by architect Kay Kørbing and has a sought-after location at the heart of Strøget. ‘Strøget ofers a combination of low-budget stores, highend fashion houses and relaxed dining,’ explains Sofe Molls, the store’s head of marketing. ‘The architecture of Strøget is also quite stunning. The old Copenhagen architecture, fountains and historical squares have been maintained, giving the street a cosiness that a mall, outlet or newly built shopping centre can’t ofer.’ Unlike a newly built shopping centre, Strøget has a rich heritage and plays host to stores with hardwon reputations. Illums Bolighus at Amagertorv 10 is a prime example. ‘The store’s location was based

on the idea that a Danish design store should be positioned in the very centre of Copenhagen, with surroundings that complement Illums Bolighus’s product range,’ Molls explains. ‘Since tradition is highly valued by our brand, the history of Strøget, and more specifcally of Amagertorv 10, was

appealing. We wanted to take part in conveying the architectural legacy of Copenhagen.’ Luxury multi-brand boutique Birger Christensen is another Strøget attraction. The store, which has occupied the same location since 1869, came to prominence when Grace Kelly

wore some of its pieces, and it subsequently ofered a range of highend designer brands to both men and women. Birger Christensen now plays host to an array of internationally renowned designer labels as well as containing concept stores by Lanvin and Ralph Lauren. ‘Birger Christensen has always taken a lead, ofering major brands throughout the store. Our best-selling brands are Céline, Lanvin, Saint Laurent and Valentino,’ says company CEO Jens Birger Christensen. Copenhagen’s reputation for fne dining has also helped to raise the profle of the Strøget area. ‘Copenhagen is known for exceptional shopping and dining. Restaurants such as Noma, voted the world’s number one place to eat, have drawn this focus, which has then impacted on the future development of Strøget,’ explains Birger Christensen. ‘The area has a very positive feel, which we believe will continue throughout 2015.’

Charlotte Eskildsen, creative director of fashion brand Designers Remix, opened her fagship store on a side street of Strøget, and chose the site due to the variety of the surrounding stores. ‘There’s a great mix of high street, luxury and designer fashion boutiques as well as interiors stores, on and around Strøget, which means you get a pretty good feeling of what Denmark has to ofer design-wise here,’ says Eskildsen. ‘If you venture down the side streets you’ll fnd a lot of cool cafés too.’ Denmark’s increasing popularity among overseas visitors is helping Strøget gain international attention. ‘Danish brands and Danish designs are becoming popular in most countries. We have customers from the US, Japan, from all over the world. Everybody is fascinated by Danish brands and design,’ says Søs Hofmeyer, retail manager at fashion label Noa Noa. ‘I think that is why

Strøget has taken its place as one of Copenhagen’s most alluring destinations

Strøget is popular.’ Even so, customer service remains key to attracting visitors. ‘Customer service in store has to be unique and I think Noa Noa is the best in the market; we care about the customers coming into the store and making sure they visit us again and again,’ Hofmeyer says. ‘Today you can sit by a computer and get anything in the world so why go into a shop on Strøget? The staf have to be the very best because that’s what you can’t get when you sit by the computer and buy clothes.’ Whether it’s a result of its close proximity to the world’s best restaurants, its exciting brand mix or the enduring appeal of Danish design, Strøget has defnitely taken its place among Copenhagen’s most alluring attractions illumsbolighus.dk, birger-christensen.com, designersremix.com, noanoa.com

Streetwear is having a moment. From the Instagram feeds of style bloggers to the catwalk at Chanel, sneakers and logo sweaters are everywhere. It’s clear that laid-back, functional fashion is being embraced by the industry at large. For a fashion genre linked to subculture, this attention presents exciting opportunities and fresh challenges. However, Danish designers are staying true to their roots, ensuring mainstream status doesn’t dilute the sartorial edge that sets them apart from the crowd. Emerging from the skating subculture of the 1990s, Copenhagen’s streetwear labels have enjoyed a steady rise in popularity thanks to their strong brand identities, high quality and ft. ‘Streetwear has been a defning force in Danish fashion for the 94 / 109

last 10 years,’ says Anne Christine Persson, vice president and development director of Copenhagen Fashion Week. ‘Danish brands such as Wood Wood, Norse Projects and Soulland have been defning a generation of Danish fashion and attracting a lot of international attention.’ It is, she says, a style that is ‘wearable, cool and always ofers a certain Danish twist that gives it that extra something to stand out.’ Streetwear labels are known for creating collections with a distinctive look that references underground trends while also being practical and, most importantly, wearable. ‘In Copenhagen we have a great skate scene that goes way back,’ explains local stylist Kristine Wold. ‘Many brands were started by skaters so their pieces are designed to look cool but also Previous page: Wood Wood spring/summer 2015

be functional for a skate session. And as the founders have grown up they have started to focus more on trends and quality.’ Wood Wood co-founder and creative director Karl-Oskar Olsen agrees that Danish streetwear design is both creative and high quality. ‘In Denmark we make clothes for real people – democratic designs that also ofer value for money,’ he says. ‘We want our customers to value our products for their creative impact and also be able to use them for a long time.’ This combination of creativity and quality has attracted respect and loyalty from streetwear fans around the world. Kim Carlsen opened his multi-brand streetwear boutique Flavour in 1993 and has observed the growth of Copenhagen’s streetwear scene frst hand, subsequently launching his own streetwear-inspired line. ‘It’s very organic. It’s a lot about who knows who, and who can hook you up,’ Previous page (from lef): Wood Wood spring/ summer 2015; the brand’s founders Brian SS Jensen and Karl-Oskar Olsen

Carlsen explains. ‘It makes it really interesting because it’s something that you can’t just buy, you have to be a part of it.’ Collaboration has been central to Danish streetwear’s success; Wood Wood, Norse Projects and Henrik Vibskov all stock a selection of other labels in their fagship boutiques. ‘Norse Projects and Wood Wood are popular because Above (from top): Flavour store; Henrik Vibskov store

they were really good at collaborating with the right people at the right time,’ says Carlsen. ‘At the same time they became part of an unofcial group of stores, located in cities around the world, that gave them a whole lot of cool factor.’ Wood Wood, with its all-wood store interior and collection of T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps and sneakers, certainly has the cool factor. Collaborations with Nike, a creative foothold in Berlin and an upcoming project with American sportswear label Champion have also helped cement the brand’s popularity among skaters and style experts alike. In contrast, Norse Projects is known for embracing more artistic infuences. The brand has

a background in skating but creative director Mikkel Grønnebaek is also a curator at Copenhagen’s V1 Gallery. The label’s New Artist T-shirt series, featuring illustrations by London-based artist Daniel Frost, is a collection highlight, while capsule collections with Japanese multi-brand boutique Beauty & Youth United Arrows and with London’s Goodhood store have also helped to strengthen the brand’s reputation. The next generation of streetwear designers coming out of Copenhagen looks set to ensure the industry will continue to impress. Libertine Libertine is cited as one to watch. ‘They come from a surf and skate background but they also do streetwear. It has a bit of

boldness and a good fnish; it looks exclusive and has good craftsmanship. I think it’ll be an important brand,’ Carlsen observes. ‘Also Apocs, Brand8 and Oh Dawn are very cool, especially in their communication. It’s an interesting group of up-and-coming brands and it will be very exciting to see where they end up.’ As creativity continues to grow and quality is maintained, one thing is for sure; Copenhagen’s streetwear labels will soon be conquering cities around the world woodwood.dk, norseprojects.com, soulland.com, favour.dk, henrikvibskov.com, libertine-libertine.com, apocs.com, brand8.dk, ohdawn.com

RING THE CHANGES Copenhagen’s acclaimed department store Illum is in the throes of an impressive renovation plan which will add culinary delights and even a chic place to stay, as Madeleine Murray-Lyons discovers

‘If you are visiting Copenhagen there are three things that you’ll see: Tivoli, the Little Mermaid and Illum,’ says Adriano Baf, the legendary department store’s manager. He is clearly confdent of his store’s appeal – and with good reason. Illum attracts 6.5m visitors each year and is the ideal one-stop

shop. ‘You can get everything under one roof,’ explains Baf. ‘It’s a triple-A location in the heart of Copenhagen, you have 20,000 square metres [of retail space] and very good brands for men and women.’ The store is constantly evolving. Acquired by Italian department store giant La Rinascente

62 | F E AT U R E S

in 2013, it has since been undergoing a fve-year renovation plan which will improve and update the building as well as unveiling a few surprises along the way. The project involves an investment of €50m, says Baf, and improvements include ‘new entrance, new façade, new foor, new ceiling, new air conditioning, new lighting and a totally new brand mix in store. We have luxury boutiques on the ground foor, a restaurant area with eight restaurants and then up at the top we will construct a hotel – the frst hotel in a department store.’ It’s an ambitious project, to say the least, but one that will elevate Illum’s international status, allowing it to compete with the likes of La Rinascente in Italy, Selfridges in the UK and Colette in Paris. ‘We have a fve-year plan,’ says Baf. ‘[In 2014] we did the outside, the façade and the ground foor, in

three phases.’ The past 12 months have certainly been busy. Creating a homogenous façade across each of Illum’s three buildings, all built in diferent eras, was one of the frst challenges to be met, and has been accomplished by Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects, which redevised the exterior of the building. Creating a more visitor-friendly entrance from

the Strøget shopping area is another. ‘We have moved the escalator so you don’t have to search for it any more; it’s at the entrance,’ says Baf. ‘The atrium has been made smaller and we have new wood-covered escalators. The new entrance is brighter, with larger canopies. We will even change the Illum logo, so the store is ready for the next 120 years.’ Although Illum will thus be parting ways with its swallow motif, well-known in Copenhagen for many years, the store has become a prime example of Scandinavian modernity. ‘We have put in new lifts that go directly to the fourth foor where we’re going to open eight restaurants,’ says Baf. ‘The restaurant area will be covered in wood rather than steel so it will be very Scandinavian.’ In a city with an impressive culinary reputation, Illum’s restaurant foor will be

an important feature in attracting visitors and brands. ‘Copenhagen has a lot of Michelin-starred restaurants and the amount of hype surrounding Scandinavian food is very high,’ Baf notes. Brands are already focking to Illum’s new incarnation. In late 2014, the store opened an 850-square-metre accessories ‘universe’, showcasing bags, scarves and leather goods from labels that include Karl Lagerfeld,

Marni, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga. For spring/summer 2015, Valentino, Salvatore Ferragamo, Saint Laurent and Tod’s have opened luxury boutiques on the ground foor, each with its own separate entrance. Illum’s brand portfolio is set to be one of the city’s most impressive – and this is just the beginning. ‘We have started working on the women’s foor and then we will continue with the men’s foor and the third foor,’ says Baf. The hotel, currently scheduled for completion in 2017, will be a small luxury hotel with a foyer, restaurant and bar. It will be the perfect retreat for visitors who are looking for a high-end haven in the heart of the city – and yet another reason to visit Copenhagen’s prestigious department store illum.dk

TABLE TALK Copenhagen is home to more than just one world-class restaurant, as Isabella Redmond Styles fnds out

Noma, the star of Copenhagen’s restaurant scene, is widely acknowledged as one of the best restaurants in the world, but it’s the city’s general attitude to food and cookery that’s extraordinary. Danish food has not always enjoyed an international reputation for excellence; it was only at the relatively recent Nordic Cuisine Symposium in 2004 that a group of young, radical chefs began to champion the idea of local and seasonal produce, encouraging people to rediscover the joy of food. These globalblue.com

principles have become a national obsession and it’s easy to see why once you’ve visited Copenhagen’s thriving food markets, like the redeveloped Torvehallerne, or seen the abundance of natural resources of both land and sea that Danish chefs have at their fngertips. Whether you’re dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant or a newly opened eaterie, the city’s brightest chefs continue to showcase the country’s raw materials and cuisine in imaginative and delicious ways.

AMASS Amass chef Matt Orlando spent nearly three years as René Redzepi’s chef de cuisine at Noma. After leaving the world-famous restaurant in 2013 and visiting Japan, Orlando opened his solo venture, Amass. Positioned in a former shipyard depot, with views of Copenhagen’s harbour and its own kitchen garden, the restaurant’s interior is a masterclass in understated Scandinavian cool and takes the

idea of the open kitchen one step further by allowing diners a view into both the kitchen and the restaurant ofces. Amass’s culinary approach goes beyond seasonal, being dictated on a day-to-day basis depending on what produce is at its very best. Dishes are guaranteed to challenge gastronomic conventions in clever ways, while also being a pleasure to eat. Amass, Refshalevej 153, 1432 Copenhagen, +45 4358 4330, amassrestaurant.com

R ADIO Radio takes its name from its proximity to Radiohuset, the former headquarters of Danish broadcasting company DR. The restaurant’s buzzwords are ‘local’ and ‘organic’; it grows its own vegetables on a certifed organic farm just outside the city and the 80-plus crops cultivated there form the basis of its menu. Headed by chefs Rasmus Kliim and Jesper Kirketerp, previously a sous-chef at Noma, and

restaurateur Claus Meyer, Radio has no à la carte menu. Instead, guests have a choice of three or fve courses; the fve-course menu is likely to consist of two fsh dishes, a vegetable-based plate, a meat course and a dessert. The exact constituents depend upon what’s in season and what Radio’s local suppliers have brought that day. Radio, Julius Thomsens Gade 12, 1632 Copenhagen, +45 2510 2733, restaurantradio.dk

MY NEIGHBOURHOOD: SHAUN RUSSELL Shaun Russell, half of the English duo that founded the Skandinavisk candle company, frmly believes in the Scandinavian focus on nature, family and enjoying life. Now a resident of Copenhagen, Russell shares his city favourites with Theresa Harold skandinavisk.com

‘I live on the borders of Frederiksberg and Vesterbro by the Søndermarken park. Frederiksberg is the grand old quarter of Copenhagen and its main thoroughfare, Frederiksberg Alle, reminds me of the boulevards of Paris. Vesterbro, meanwhile, is the grimy, edgy neighbourhood where something new is always happening. Having both on your doorstep is the best of both worlds. ‘Dora on Værnedamsvej and Fick on Gammel Kongevej

are two design stores in my neighbourhood that ofer a more eclectic and personal style than the traditional famed Danish classics. As for fashion, Zornig on Gammel Kongevej is great for understated Copenhagen chic in both men’s and women’s fashion. The women’s store stands across the street from the men’s. ‘The best place to buy all types of food is Torvehallerne * p.78 (the food halls)

in Nørrebro. Since opening only a few years ago, it’s become a principal meeting place for Copenhageners. ‘The Carlsberg brewery tour is always a great experience, and one of the most cosmopolitan bars in the city given all the foreign visitors. Speaking of bars, Charlie’s Bar * p.85 is the most authentic English pub and an occasional watering hole of mine when I need a dose of Blighty. The Berlin Bar on Gammel Kongevej is the German equivalent of Charlie’s. Lidkoeb is the secret luxe cocktail bar hiding in a car park behind a supermarket of Vesterbrogade. ‘When friends visit, we go to the Zoo in Frederiksberg.

the ultimate frst-time visitor destination. The palm garden at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum * p.78, just behind Tivoli, is also just stunning. Of course, you can’t neglect the Rodin collection there. ‘Taking a walk through the Søndermarken and Frederiksberg Have parks is a pleasure at any time of the year. I’d recommend you hire or borrow a bicycle and just get lost. Copenhagen is small enough for everything to be only 10 minutes away. ‘Recently, I discovered Karmaman on Frederiksberg Alle. It’s a new local eatery where you can just turn up, take a spot at a table, pull a bottle of wine from the shelf and open it yourself – very laid-back. Sokkelund on Smallegade is a great bistro in the French style, and a perfect end to a walk through the parks of Frederiksberg.’

Датская Сокровищница Салли МакИлхон рассказывает о торговой улице Strøget и ее окрестностях, где нашлось место и датским модным домам, и роскошным брендам с мировым именем Strøget – одна из самых длинных пешеходных улиц в Европе, свободная от автомобильного движения еще с 1962 года. globalblue.com

Более того, она входит в число самых крупных торговых зон в мире. По недавним подсчетам, ежедневно по Strøget и шести улицам в ее окрестностях проходит 250,000 человек. И это неудивительно, ведь в этих кварталах открывают свои бутики и крупные датские бренды домашнего декора, и роскошные универмаги, и актуальные дизайнеры – словом, именно здесь находятся заведения, которые нельзя не посетить в Копенгагене. Одно из них – Illums Bolighus по адресу Amager-

torv 10, знаменитый на весь мир универмаг мебели и домашнего декора. Лучшей подборки датского дизайна просто не найти, а надежность и качество подтверждает гарантия королевского доверия Королевы Маргрете II. Компания открылась в 1950-е, однако ее современное здание построено в 1961 году архитектором Каем Кербингом и пользуется популярностью в наши дни: «На Strøget есть и бренды экономичного сегмента, и роскошные модные дома, и уютные рестораны, - размышляет Софи Моллс, глава отдела маркетинга Illums Bolighus. – Архитектура этих кварталов также производит впечатление. Старый Копенгаген, фонтаны, исторические площади придают им неповторимый колорит и атмосферу уюта, чего никогда не смогут предложить молл, аутлет или новый торговый центр». В отличие от любого, даже самого современного торгового центра, у Strøget богатое культурное наследие, а у большинства магазинов сложилась устойчивая и заслуженная репутация. «Мы выбирали место для Illums Bolighus исходя из того, что магазин датского дизайна должен располагаться в самом центре Копенгагена, а его окружение – дополнять ассортимент, - объясняет Моллс. – Поскольку наш бренд очень ценит традицию,

историчность Strøget и особенно нашего дома на Amagertorv, 10, оказалась идеальной. Мы хотели включиться в архитектурное наследие датской столицы». Особого внимания также заслуживает мультибрендовый бутик Birger Christensen, который не менял адреса еще с 1869 года. Он достиг известности, когда среди его покупателей оказалась Грейс Келли. Затем здесь продавались мужские и женские вещи роскошных дизайнерских брендов. Сейчас универмаг Birger Christensen постоянно расширяет ассортимент марок с мировым именем, а также предлагает концепт-сторы Lanvin и Ralph Lauren. «Birger Christensen всегда сохранял лидерство за счет крупных брендов в ассортименте, и Céline, Lanvin, Saint Laurent и Valentino – в числе самых востребованных», комментирует исполнительный директор компании Йенс Биргер Кристенсен. Гастрономическая слава Копенгагена также укрепляет репутацию Strøget. «Отменный шоппинг и изысканная кухня – столице Дании есть чем гордиться. Такие рестораны, как Noma, многие годы остаются предметом мечтаний гурманов всего мира. Все это влияет на дальнейшее развитие Strøget. Мы очень надеемся, что особая позитивная атмосфера этого места сохранится и

преумножится в 2015 году», делится Биргер Кристенсен. Шарлотте Эскилдсен, креативный директор модного бренда Designers Remix, открыла свой флагманский магазин на соседней со Strøget улице. Для нее веским аргументом стало прекрасное окружение: «Экономичные, роскошные и дизайнерские бутики, интерьерные салоны - на самой Strøget и вокруг нее много удивительных магазинов, по которым можно составить впечатление о датском дизайне. Сверните на улочки поменьше – и обнаружите там прекрасные кафе», - Эскилдсен перечисляет преимущества этого района. В Данию приезжает все больше иностранцев, поэтому Strøget постепенно приобретает заслуженный международный статус. «Во многих странах бренды и дизайн Дании пользуется популярностью. К нам обращаются покупатели из США, Японии и других стран. И никто не остается равнодушным, - восхищается Сес Хоффмайер, менеджер розничной торговли модной марки Noa Noa. – Поэтому, думаю, востребованность и перспективы Strøget несомненны». Несмотря на все эти преимущества, датские компании не забывают о клиентоориентированности, считая ее ключом к покупательской лояльности. «Сервис в магазине обязательно globalblue.com

должен быть на высоте. В этом Noa Noa не знает себе равных: мы заботимся о приходящих к нам покупателях, чтобы они возвращались снова и снова. Сегодня можно сесть перед компьютером и купить что угодно из любой точки мира. Зачем же ехать на улицу Strøget? Единственное, что невозможно получить онлайн, - это атмосферу, живое общение с компетентным и приветливым персоналом». Близость к лучшим ресторанам мира, великолепные бренды и бесконечно красивый датский дизайн – улица Strøget и ее окрестности по праву входят в число самых интересных достопримечательностей Копенгагена. illumsbolighus.dk, birger-christensen.com, designersremix.com, noanoa.com 52: Word On The Street

Голос Улиц Джемма Латам рассказывает о датских брендах стритстайла, сделавших ставку на креативность, качество и коллаборации Уличная мода переживает свой звездный час. Кеды и джемпера с логотипами появляются буквально повсюду – и в лентах Instagram стильных блогеров, и на показах Chanel. Невозможно не заметить, что этот расслабленный и практичный

стиль влияет на модную индустрию по-крупному. А для направления, тесно связанного с субкультурой, подобное внимание открывает интересные возможности и новые вызовы. В то же время датские дизайнеры верны и себе: в очередной раз они демонстрируют, что даже оказавшись в мейнстриме, они не собираются отказываться от собственной индивидуальности. В Копенгагене бренды стрит-стайла вышли из скейтерской субкультуры 1990-х. Узнаваемость, качество и удобство одежды обеспечивают им неуклонный рост популярности. «Последние десять лет именно уличный стиль определяет датскую моду, - объясняет Анне Кристине

Перссон, вице-президент и директор по развитию Копенгагенской недели моды. Wood Wood, Norse Project и Soulland и другие датские бренды задают тренд для целого модного поколения и выводят датскую моду на международный уровень». Она называет этот стиль «удобным и актуальным» и отмечает, что «ему удается сохранять уникальность именно за счет особенного датского подхода». Бренды уличной моды любят за умение создавать неповторимый образ на основе субкультурных трендов. Вместе с тем их разработки всегда практичны и, что еще более важно, удобны. «В Копенгагене уже много лет процветает скейтерское движение,

- рассказывает стилист Кристине Вольд. – За многими брендами стоят скейтеры, которые целенаправленно прорабатывали не только стиль, но и функциональность для уличного спорта. А по мере взросления, они больше обращают внимание на тренды и качество тоже». Со-основатель и креативный директор Wood Wood Карл Оскар Ольсен согласен с тем, что датский стрит-стайл сочетает креативный подход и качество: «В Дании дизайнеры склонны ориентироваться на реальных людей и выпускать демократичные модели, которые, кроме всего прочего, стоят своих денег. Нам бы хотелось, чтобы покупатели ценили нашу одежду за globalblue.com

креативный подход и могли бы носить ее как можно дольше». Столь искреннее стремление по достоинству оценили поклонники уличной моды по всему миру. Ким Карлсен открыл свой мультибрендовый бутик Flavour в 1993 году и на собственном опыте прочувствовал рост рынка уличной моды. Логичным следствием стало появление его собственной линии, вдохновленной стритстайлом: «Этот стиль очень органичный. Он существует во многом для своих, - объясняет Карлсен. – Что особенно интересно, подобное отношение невозможно просто купить – нужно быть частью процесса». Своим успехом датская уличная мода во многом обязана эффективным совместным проектам. В фирменных бутиках Wood Wood, Norse Projects и Henrik Vibskov всегда можно купить подборку одежды и других лейблов. «Norse Projects и Wood Wood добились популярности, потому что сотрудничали с нужными людьми в подходящее время, - анализирует Карлсен. – Вместе с этим они вошли в неформальный союз магазинов, расположенных в разных городах мира, которые дали им огромное количество преимуществ». Бренд Wood Wood, определенно, обладает этими преимуществами: это проявляется и в интерьерах

из дерева, и в коллекциях футболок, толстовок, кепок и кроссовок. На счету этой марки коллаборации с Nike, творческие проекты в Берлине и предстоящее сотрудничество с американской маркой Champion, - все это укрепляет статус бренда среди скейтеров и знатоков моды в равной степени. Иной подход избрал бренд Norse Project: он делает выбор в пользу арт-коллабораций. Начав когда-то со скейтбордов, креативный директор Миккель Греннебэк сейчас курирует копенгагенскую галерею V1 Gallery. В портфолио марки есть яркая серия футболок New Artist, в основе которой иллюстрации лондонского художника Дэниэла Фроста, и капсульные коллекции, разработанные совместно с японским мультибрендовым бутиком Beauty&Youth United Arrows и лондонским магазином Goodhood. Новое поколение датских дизайнеров уверенно продолжает дело старших коллег. Так, имеет смысл следить за успехами молодого бренда Libertine Libertine: «Начав с серфинга и скейтбординга, они создают и уличную одежду. Эти ребята активны и целеустремлены. То, что они делают, обладает собственным характером и качеством. Я думаю, мы еще услышим об этой марке, - замечает Карлсен. – Я бы

также отметил Apocs, Brand8 и Oh Dawn, в частности, за их способ общения со своей аудиторией. Все эти молодые бренды выглядят очень перспективными, и будет очень интересно посмотреть, что с ними станет в будущем». Растущий творческий потенциал и неизменное качество – этим оружием стритстайл Копенгагена вскоре будет покорять весь мир. woodwood.dk, norseprojects.com, soulland.com, favour.dk, henrikvibskov.com, libertine-libertine.com, apocs.com, brand8.dk, ohdawn.com 60: Ring The Changes

Исторические Перемены Мадлен Мюррей-Лайонс рассказывает о реконструкции самого знаменитого универмага Копенгагена Illum, после которой он обзаведется этажом для гурманов и даже роскошным отелем «Приехав в Копенгаген, невозможно не посетить три достопримечательности: парк Тиволи, скульптуру Русалочки и Illum», – утверждает Адриано Баффи, директор легендарного универмага Illum. У него есть количественные подтверждения привлекательности этого торгового центра: 6,5 миллионов гостей посещает Illum ежегодно. «Главное наше преимущество – в ассортименте:

все, что угодно, можно купить в одном месте, причем в самом центре Копенгагена. На 20,000 квадратных метрах торговых площадей мы собрали очень хорошую подборку брендов мужской и женской одежды», – объясняет Баффи. Это предприятие постоянно развивается. В 2013 году его приобрела итальянская управляющая компания La Rinascente, и с тех пор в Illum началась масштабная реконструкция. Пятилетний план подразумевает качественное обновление всего здания и появление новых отделов. По словам Баффи, проекту удалось привлечь инвестиции в размере 50 миллионов евро: «Появится новая входная группа, новый фасад, новый пол, новый потолок, новая вентиляция, новое освещение и совершенно новая подборка брендов. На первом этаже разместятся флагманские магазины, фудзона расширится до восьми ресторанов, а на верхних этажах откроется отель – первый отель в универмаге». Без лишнего преувеличения, это понастоящему амбициозный проект, благодаря которому укрепится мировой статус Illum. Датский универмаг окажется в одном ряду с такими мэтрами, как La Rinascente в Италии, Selfridges в Великобритании и Colette в Париже. «Мы рассчитали все работы на пять лет. В 2014 globalblue.com

году мы в три этапа завершили внешнюю реставрацию, переработали фасад и первый этаж», – рассказывает о ходе работ директор, подчеркивая, что за прошедшие 12 месяцев было сделано немало. В этот же год появились и первые профессиональные вызовы: три здания Illum построены в разное время, а следовательно, и в разных архитектурных стилях. Привести фасады в единый облик было поручено бюро Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects, и оно блестяще справилось с задачей. Еще с одной сложностью архитекторы столкнулись при проектировании удобного входа со стороны торговой зоны Strøget. «Мы передвинули эскалаторы, и теперь посетителям больше не нужно их разыскивать – они прямо у входа. В атриуме, который стал меньше по размеру, также появились новые эскалаторы, отделанные деревом. Входную группу мы сделали более светлой и воздушной и установили над ней купол. Мы готовы к радикальным переменам, поэтому преобразится даже эмблема Illum. Так что легендарный универмаг будет готов к следующему историческому периоду в 120 лет». Копенгагену предстоит расстаться с ласточками Illum, которые долгое время были одним из его символов. В то же время обновленный

универмаг станет воплощением современного скандинавского стиля: «Некоторые лифты доставят посетителей прямо на четвертый этаж, где разместятся восемь ресторанов. Вся ресторанная зона будет украшена деревом – весьма в духе Скандинавии». Гастрономическая репутация Копенгагена станет преимуществом и для Illum: ресторанный этаж непременно привлечет сюда и посетителей, и новые бренды. «Многие заведения города отмечены звездами Мишлен, повсюду готовят прекрасные и крайне востребованные скандинавские блюда», – продолжает Баффи. Желание брендов

открывать бутики в Illum очевидно. В конце 2014 года здесь появился огромный отдел аксессуаров площадью 850 квадратных метров, где представлены сумки, шарфы и кожгалантерея от Karl Lagerfeld, Marni, Alexander McQueen и Balenciaga. К сезону весна/лето 2015 на первом этаже открылись флагманские магазины Valentino, Salvatore Ferragamo, Saint Laurent и Tod’s, и у каждого из них будет собственный вход. Подборка брендов Illum станет самой впечатляющей в городе – а ведь это только начало. «Сейчас идет работа над женским этажом, а затем мы перейдем на второй, мужской, этаж, и на третий», – анонсирует

Баффи. По предварительным прогнозам, в 2017 году будет сдан отель с собственным фойе, рестораном и баром. Для гостей это будет чудесная возможность пожить в самом центре шведской столицы и заодно посетить престижный универмаг Копенгагена. illum.dk 90: When you shop the world, shop tax free

46: Access All Areas 顶级购物街从历史悠久的丹麦设计品牌到高端时尚精品店铺，Strøget 步行街的购物体验是多姿多彩的。Sally McIlhone 报道作为欧洲最长，也是全球最长的几条步行街之一，Strøget 步行街与周边购物区享有国际声誉。该区从1962 年起禁止车辆通行，最新数据显示每天有25万人造访Strøget 地区的六条街道。该地区以拥有众多值得光顾的店铺为傲；从丹麦家居用品巨头与奢华百货公司到前卫时尚先锋设计品牌，Strøget 步行街是哥本哈根不容错过的购物地之一。 Illums Bolighus是蜚声国际的室内设计与家具店，以其精选丹麦设计大师系列与玛格丽特二世女王亲授的皇家认证而闻名。该店在1950年代就开门迎客——目前所在的建筑是由建筑师Kay Kørbing 在1961年设计的，坐拥Strøget 步行街核心位置的

101 抢手地段。 “Strøget 步行街同时拥有价格低廉的店铺、高端时尚品牌与休闲餐饮场所。”店铺的市场部负责人 Sofe Molls解释道。 “Strøget 步行街的建筑景观也令人赞叹。哥本哈根老建筑、喷泉与具有历史意义的广场都被保留下来，赋予这些街道任何其他商场、折扣村或新建购物中心无法提供的惬意氛围。不同于新建的购物中心，Strøget步行街拥有丰富的文化遗产，并且集中了一批享有罕见声誉的店铺。Amagertorv广场10号的Illums Bolighus就是绝佳案例。 “我们店铺的选址是基于这样的想法：丹麦设计应被置于哥本哈根最中心位置，同时周边环境又与产品系列相辅相成， ”Molls解释道。 “既然我们的品牌高度重视传统，Strøget 步行街，或者更确切地说，Amagertorv广场10号的历史对我们极具吸引力。我们希望加入展示哥本哈根历史建筑遗产的行列。”

多品牌奢华精品店Birger Christensen是Strøget 步行街的另一处亮点。这间商店自1869年以来就占据同一位置，在其鼎盛之时影星

Grace Kelly曾穿着过店中产品，店铺也由此开始贩售高级男装与女装设计师品牌。Birger Christensen如今陈列着一系列蜚声国际的设计师品牌，同时内设 Lanvin与Ralph Lauren 品牌概念店。 “Birger Christensen 总是处于领先地位，在店中贩售各大主流品牌。我们这里最畅销的品牌包括Céline、Lanvin、Saint Laurent 与Valentino， ”公司首席执行官Jens Birger Christensen表示。哥本哈根享誉盛名的高级精致料理也帮助提升了Strøget 地区的形象。 “哥本哈根以超凡的购物与餐饮体验而闻名。拥有Noma这样被票选为世界最佳餐厅第一名的代表者，就充分体现这点，而这也影响着 Strøget 地区未来的发展方向， ”Birger

102

Christensen解释道。 “该地区充满

52: Word On The Street

正能量，我们坚信这股氛围会持续到 2015年。” 时尚品牌Designers Remix的创意总监Charlotte Eskildsen，在 Strøget 步行街边的辅路上开设了自己的旗舰店，她之所以选择该位置是出于周边店铺的多样性。 “在Strøget 步行街与周边区域，分布着高街品牌、奢侈品牌与设计师时尚店铺，甚至还有室内装饰店铺，这意味着你来到这里就大致能领略到丹麦在设计领域的所有杰出贡献， ”Eskildsen表示。 “如果你继续沿着小巷探索，还能找到许多很酷的咖啡馆。” 丹麦在海外游客中与日俱增的欢迎度也帮助Strøget 获得了国际性关注。 “丹麦品牌与丹麦设计师在许多国家变得越来越受欢迎。我们有来自美国、日本、以及世界各地的顾客。人人都为丹麦品牌与设计着迷， ”时尚品牌 Noa Noa的零售经理Søs Hofmeyer 说道。 “我认为这就是Strøget 步行街成为热门购物地的原因。” 即便如此，客户服务对吸引游客而言仍是关键。 “客户服务必须独具特色，我认为Noa Noa是市场上的佼佼者；我们关心进店的顾客，并确保他们会流连忘返， ”Hofmeyer表示。 “ 今天你可以坐在电脑前足不出户买到世界上任何一样东西，所以为什么要来Strøget的店铺呢？店内员工必须做到最好，因为这是坐在电脑前买衣服所得不到的服务。” 无论是因为临近世界最佳餐厅，还是因为振奋人心的品牌组合或丹麦设计的持久吸引力，Strøget 步行街无疑已在哥本哈根最具吸引力场所名单中占据一席之地。 illumsbolighus.dk, birger-christensen.com, designersremix.com,

街头时尚魅力

独具创意、追求品质与跨界合作，让哥本哈根的街头服饰品牌脱颖而出，Gemma Latham报道街头服饰近来声势正旺。从Instagram潮流博主发布的照片到Chanel 的秀场，运动鞋和带logo毛衣随处可见。显然，慵懒、实穿的服装正被时尚业大范围接纳。对于这股与亚文化紧密联系的时尚风潮，人们关注点的转变提供了令人兴奋的机遇与前所未有的挑战。然而，丹麦设计师们仍坚守自己的根基，确保主流风潮不会影响他们与众不同的另类风格。由上世纪90年代的滑冰文化盛行开始，得益于超高的品牌辨识度、卓越品质与合身剪裁，哥本哈根街头服饰的地位稳步攀升。 “在过去10年中，街头服饰在丹麦时尚界已占有举足轻重的地位， ”哥本哈根时装周副主席兼业务拓展总监Anne Christine Persson表示。 “丹麦品牌如Wood Wood、Nurse Projects和Soulland 已经定义了新一代丹麦时尚，并吸引了大量国际关注。”她表示，这种风格是“耐穿、酷炫的，并且总能加入丹麦式改良，使其出众脱俗。” 街头服饰品牌以推出灵感源自地下风潮，别具一格同时又实穿、尤其是耐穿的系列而闻名。 “在哥本哈根，滑板潮流正在回归， ”本地造型师 Kristine Wold解释道。 “很多品牌是由滑板爱好者创建的，因此他们的产品设计都很酷，但也同时适合滑板时穿着。随着创始人们日渐成熟，他们也开始更为关注潮流趋势与品质。” Wood Wood的联合创始人与创意总监Karl Oskar Olsen也认为丹麦街头服饰的设计兼具创意和高品质。 “在丹麦我们为真实的人群制作服装——是物有所值的民主设计， ”他

103

指出。 “我们希望自己的顾客因为创作上的冲击力与经久耐用的品质而喜欢我们的产品。” 创意和品质的结合赢得了来自世界各地的街头服饰迷的敬意与忠诚。Kim Carlsen 在1993年开设了多品牌街头服饰店Flavour，他亲身见证了哥本哈根街头服饰的崛起，并由此推出了自己的街头风格系列。 “这是自然而然发生的。基本就是因为谁认识谁，或者谁可以吸引到你， ”Carlsen解释道。 “这点非常有意思，因为这是无

法用钱买到的东西，你必须成为其中的一份子。” 合作对于丹麦街头服饰至关重要；Wood Wood、Norse Projects 和Henrik Vibskov在自己的旗舰店中也陈列其他品牌的系列。 “Norse Projects和Wood Wood很受欢迎，因为他们善于在恰当的时机与恰当的人合作， ”Carlsen表示。 “与此同时，他们也成为一个非官方的，遍布全球各地的店铺组织的一部分，这让他们看起来更酷。”

104 全木质内饰的店中陈列着T恤、运动衫、帽子与运动鞋，Wood Wood 无疑拥有酷感元素。与Nike的合作、对柏林创意界的涉足，以及即将和美国运动装品牌Champion进行的合作项目，也帮助该品牌巩固其在滑板爱好者与潮流专家们心中的地位。与其形成鲜明对比的是，Norse Projects以更具艺术影响力而被人熟知。该品牌有着滑板背景，但创意总监Mikkel Grønnebaek同样也是哥本哈根V1画廊的策展人。该品牌的 New Artist T恤系列，印有伦敦艺术家Daniel Frost创作的插画，是品牌作品中的亮点，与日本多品牌精品店 Beauty & Youth United Arrows，以及与伦敦店铺Goodhood合作的独家套装系列，也帮助提升了品牌声誉。看来哥本哈根涌现的新一代街头服饰设计师们，将确保街头服饰产业继续艳惊四座。Libertine-Libertine 就是值得关注的品牌之一。 “他们有着冲浪与滑板背景，但同样专注于街头服饰。风格有一丝大胆，做工却很精良；看上去非常独特并有着出色的制作工艺。我认为这将成为一个重要的品牌， ”Carlsen观察到。 “此外 Apocs、Brand8和Oh Dawn也都非常酷，尤其是在创意沟通方面。这是一个由新晋品牌组成的有趣团体，对于他们最终究竟能走到哪里我充满期待。” 创造力生生不息而品质亦维持在卓越水准，从而有一点可以确定：哥本哈根的街头服饰品牌将迅速征服全球都市。 woodwood.dk, norseprojects.com, soulland.com, favour.dk, henrikvibskov.com, libertine-libertine.com, apocs.com, brand8.dk,

60: Ring The Changes 掀起变革哥本哈根著名的百货公司Illum正进行着引人瞩目的改造计划，将会为顾客们奉上诸多味觉惊喜，甚至还有一处时髦酒店可供休憩，Madeleine Murray-Lyons报道 “如果您造访哥本哈根，要去看看这三样东西：趣伏里公园（Tivoli ）、小美人鱼和Illum百货， ”这家传奇百货公司的经理Adriano Baf说道。显然他对自家商场的吸引力信心满满——并有着充分理由。Illum百货每年吸引着 650万游客，堪称一站式购物典范。 “ 你可以在同一片屋檐下找到想要的一切， ”Baf解释道。 “这座商场位于哥本哈根的顶级核心腹地，[零售空间] 达两万平方米，拥有绝佳的男士与女士品牌。” 这家百货公司不断与时俱进。在2013年被意大利百货巨头La Rinascente收购后，该店启动了为期5 年的重建计划，在改进与翻新建筑物的同时，也会为人们带来新的惊喜。该

项目共投入5000万欧元，据Baf所言，改进之处包括“新入口、新外观、新地面、新天花板、新空调、新照明系统与崭新的店内品牌组合。我们将在一楼设立奢华品牌旗舰店，餐饮区域将容纳八间餐厅，顶部则会进驻一间酒店——这也是首家位于百货公司内的酒店。” 这是个雄心勃勃的项目，至少可以说，该项目将提升Illum百货的国际地位，使其能够与意大利的La Rinascente、英国的Selfridges和巴黎的 Colette媲美。 “我们制定了五年计划， ”Baf表示。 “[2014年]我们分三个阶段完成了室外、外立面与底层部分。”过去的一年无疑是忙碌的一年。将Illum百货建于不同时代的三座建筑进行外观风格上的统一，是早期面对的挑战之一，这一难题已被 Vilhelm Lauritzen 建筑事务所攻克，他们重新设计了建筑外墙。建造一个面向Strøget购物区、更便于顾客使用的入口是另一挑战。 “我们已经移动了自动扶梯，让人们无需四处找寻；它就位于入口处， ”Baf指出。 “中庭部分则被缩小，我们还增添了新的木质

表面自动扶梯。新入口更为明亮，有着更大的遮雨篷。我们甚至重新设计了 Illum百货的logo，因此本店已为下一个120年做好了充分准备。” 虽然Illum百货将从此与在哥本哈根广为人知的燕子图案分道扬镳，该店已俨然成为斯堪的纳维亚式摩登的典范。 “我们安装了从底层直达四楼的电梯，那里将容纳八间餐厅， ”Baf 表示。 “餐厅区域将会以木材而非钢材装饰，所以会有着浓郁的斯堪的纳维亚气息。”在这座拥有令人刮目的餐饮传统的城市，Illum百货的餐饮楼层将成为吸引游客与品牌前来的重要因素。 “哥本哈根有很多米其林星级餐厅，斯堪的纳维亚美食的风靡程度也与日攀升， ”Baf注意到。各大品牌纷至沓来，进驻Illum百货新天地。在2014年底，店内开放了占地850平方米的配饰“天堂” ，陈列 Karl Lagerfeld、Marni、Alexander McQueen和Balenciaga等品牌的包袋、丝巾与皮具。在2015 年春夏，Valentino、Salvatore Ferragamo、Saint Laurent与Tod's 在底层开设了旗舰店，每间店都拥有自己的独立入口。Illum百货的品牌组合势必将成为城中最令人赞叹的—— 而这仅仅是开始。 “女士楼层已开始动工，然后是男士楼层和三楼， ”Baf表示。预计酒 globalblue.com

46: Access All Areas 隅々までご堪能あれ歴史香るデンマークデザインの名店から高級ファッションブティックまで、ストロイエ・ショッピング地区の魅力は奥深い。サリー・マキルホーンがレポートする。ヨーロッパ有数の長さを誇る世界最大級の歩行者天国ストロイエと周辺のショッピング街は、世界の称賛の的だ。この地区は1962年に車両通行禁止となり、最近のデータによればストロイエ地区を構成する6本の通りには毎日 25万人が訪れるという。お店も多数あって、探索したくなる。デンマークの家庭用品大手から高級デパート、最先端のファッションブランドまで揃ったスト

ロイエは、コペンハーゲンで必見のショッピングスポットの一つだ。イルムス・ボーリフスは世界的に有名なインテリアデザインと家具のデパート。デンマークデザインの巨匠の作品を揃えている他、女王マルグレーテ2世の御用達店としても知られる。この店は1950 年代に開業した。現在の建物は建築家カイ・カービンが 1961 年に設計したもので、ストロイエのど真ん中といううらやましいロケーションにある。「ストロイエには、お手頃価格のお店と高級ファッションハウス、くつろげるお食事処が揃っています」と、イルムス・ボーリフスのマーケティング部長ソフィー・モルスはいう。「ストロイエは建築も素晴らしいです。コペンハーゲン旧市街の建物や噴水、歴史的な広場が保全され、ショッピングモールやアウトレット、新築のショッピングセンターにはない居心地の良さがあります。」

108

新築のショッピングセンターと違って、ストロイエには豊かな歴史があり、得難い名声を獲得した店がずらりと並んでいる。アマトー通り10番地のイルムス・ボーリフスはその好例だ。「当店のロケーションは、デンマークデザインの店はコペンハーゲンのど真ん中、イルムス・ボーリフスの商品レンジが映える環境に位置すべきだという考えに基づくものです」と、モルスは説明する。「当ブランドは伝統を大事にしますので、ストロイエの歴史、特にアマトー通り10番地が魅力でした。コペンハーゲンの建築遺産を伝えていくのに一役買いたかったのです。」高級マルチブランドブティックのビルガー・クリステンセンも、ストロイエの魅力の一つだ。1869 年以来同じ場所に建つこの店は、グレース・ケリーがその商品をいくつか身に着けたことを機に有名になり、その後、メンズとウーマンズの両方の高級デザイナーブランドを取り揃えるようになった。現在は、国際的な有名デザイナーレーベルを多数扱っている他、ランバンやラルフローレンのコンセプトストアもある。「ビルガー・クリステンセンは常に他の先を行き、店内には大手ブランド globalblue.com

を豊富に揃えています。当店のベストセラーブランドは、セリーヌ、ランバン、サンローラン、ヴァレンティノです」というのは、同社CEOのイェンス・ビルガー・クリステンセンだ。コペンハーゲンが高級料理店で有名なことも、ストロイエ地区の名声を高めている。「コペンハーゲンは、素晴らしいショッピング体験と食事で有名です。世界最優秀レストランに選ばれたノーマなどのレストランが注目を集め、それがストロイエの将来的発展にも影響をおよぼしています」と、ビルガー・クリステンセンはいう。「この地区にはとても前向きな気分があり、それは2015年も続くと私たちは確信しています。」ファッションブランド「デザイナーズ・リミックス」のクリエイティブディレクター、シャーロット・エスキルドセンは、ストロイエから横丁を入ったところに旗艦店をオープンした。この場所を選んだのは、周辺の店のバラエティの豊富さが理由だ。「ストロイエとその周辺には、大衆向けの店から高級品店、デザイナーファッションブティック、インテリアショップまで、ありとあらゆる種類の店舗があって、ここに来ればデ

109 ンマークのデザインがどんなものか、だいたいわかります」と、エスキルドセンはいう。「横町を入れば、素敵なカフェもたくさんあるんですよ。」海外からの観光客の間でデンマークの人気が高まっていることも、ストロイエが世界的に注目される背景にある。「デンマークのブランドやデザインが、多くの国で人気を得ています。アメリカや日本をはじめ、世界中からお客様がいらっしゃいます。皆さん、デンマークのブランドやデザインに魅了されているのです」と、ファッションレーベル「ノアノア」の小売りマネージャー、スス・ホフマイヤーはいう。「だから、ストロイエが買い物客に人気なんだと思います。」とはいえ、人を惹きつける鍵はやはりカスタマーサービスだ。「店内でのカスタマーサービスはユニークなものでなくてはなりません。その点、ノアノアは最高だと自負しています。ご来店くださるお客様に心を配り、何度でも来ていただけるように努めています」というホフマイヤー。「今はコンピューターの前に座ったままで世界中から何でも買える時代ですから、わざわざストロイエの店に出かけるだけの理由がなくては。とびきり優秀なスタッフを揃えてサービスさせていただいています。それこそ、コンピュータで服を買うのでは得られないものですから。」世界有数のレストランが近いからか、エキサイティングなブランドミックスがあるからか、デンマークデザインの時代を超えた魅力のおかげかはともかく、ストロイエがコペンハーゲンで最も魅力的な場所の一つであることは間違いない。 illumsbolighus.dk、 birger-christensen.com、 designersremix.com、

52: Word On The Street 巷でうわさのファッション独創性と品質、一回限りのコラボレーション。コペンハーゲンのストリートウェアレーベルは抜きんでている。ジェマ・レイサムがレポートする。ストリートウェアが全盛だ。スタイルブロガーのインスタグラムフィードからシャネルのキャットウォークまで、スニーカーやロゴ入りセーターが溢れている。くつろいだ機能的なファッションが業界全体でもてはやされているのは明らかだ。サブカルチャーと関連付けられるこのファッションジャンルにとって、このように注目を浴びるのはエキサイティングなチャンスでもあり、新たなチャンレンジでもある。だが、デンマークのデザイナーたちはあくまでそのルーツに忠実で、主流化することによってデンマークファッション独特の切れ味を失わないようにしている。 1990 年代のスケートボーダーのサブカルチャーから生まれたコペンハーゲンのストリートウェアレーベルは、強烈なブランドアイデンティティと高品質、フィット感がうけて着実に人気を高めてきた。「ストリートウェアはここ 10年のデンマークファッションを象徴する力となっています」と、コペンハーゲン・ファッションウィークの副理事長で開発ディレクターのアンネ・クリスティーヌ・パーソンはいう。「ウッドウッド、ノースプロジェクツ、ソウルランドといったデンマークのブランドが、デンマークファッションの一時代を象徴し、世界から大いに注目を集めています。」パーソンによれば、「着易くてクールで、必ず何かしらデンマークらしい工夫があって、そのために他とは違う特別感がある」スタイルだという。ストリートウェアのレーベルは、アンダーグラウンドのトレンドを反映しつ

つも実用的で、何より着易い独特のルックスをもったコレクションを創作することで知られる。「コペンハーゲンには、昔から素晴らしいスケートシーンがあります」と、地元のスタイリスト、クリスティーヌ・ヴォルトは説明する。「多くのブランドはスケーターが始めたものです。だから、見た目がクールで、かつ、スケートセッション用に機能的なデザインになっているんです。そして、創業者が年齢を重ねるにつれて、トレンドや品質にも力を入れるようになってきました。」ウッドウッドの創業者の一人でクリエイティブディレクターのカール・オスカー・オルセンも同感で、デンマークのストリートウェアデザインは独創性と高品質を兼ね備えているという。「デンマークでは、現実の人々のために服を作ります。バリュー・フォー・マ globalblue.com

ネーも提供する大衆向きのデザインです。お客様には、うちの商品のクリエイティブなインパクトを楽しんでもらいたいですし、長く愛用していただきたいんです。」この創造性と品質の組み合わせが、世界中のストリートウェアファンの敬意を集め、愛用者が増えているのだ。キム・カールセンは、マルチブランドのストリートウェアブティック、「フレーバー」を1993 年にオープンし、コペンハーゲンのストリートウェアの成長を直接見てきた人だ。後にはストリートウェアにインスピレーションを得た独自ブランドも発売している。「すごく有機的なプロセスです。誰と誰が知り合いで、誰とつながりを持てるかにかかっている部分が大きい」と、カールセンは説明する。「そこが面白いところです。お金で買えるものじゃない、自分が関わってこそ得られるものだからです。」コラボレーションは、デンマークのストリートウェアが成功する上で重要な役割を果たしてきた。ウッドウッド、ノースプロジェクツ、ヘンリック・ヴィブスコフはいずれも、旗艦店ブティックに他のレーベルのセレクションも置いている。「ノースプロジェクツとウッドウッドの人気が高いのは、ふさわしい相手とタイミングよくコラボするのが実にうまいからです」と、カールセンはいう。「それと同時に、世界各地の都市にある非公式な店舗グループにも加わっており、それがまたクールファクターになっているんです。」ウッドウッドは、全体に木材を使った店舗インテリアといい、Tシャツやスウェットシャツ、帽子、スニーカーのコレクションといい、確かにクールファクターがある。ナイキとのコラボやベルリンの創造拠点、来るアメリカのスポーツウェアレーベル「チャンピオン」とのプロジェクトも、スケーターのみなら

111 ずスタイル通の間でもこのブランドの人気を不動のものにした要因だ。対称的に、ノースプロジェクツはより芸術的な影響を取り入れていることで知られる。このブランドもスケーター文化を背景にしているが、クリエイティブディレクターのミッケル・グレンネベクはコペンハーゲンのV1ギャラリーの支配人でもある。同レーベルの「ニュー・アーティスト・Tシャツ」シリーズは、ロンドンを拠点とするアーティスト、ダニエル・フロストを特集したもので、コレクションのハイライトだ。日本のマルチブランドブティック、ビューティ&ユースユナイテッドアローズやロンドンのグッドフッドストアとのカプセルコレクションも、ブランドの評判を高めるのに一役買っている。コペンハーゲン出身の次世代ストリートウェアデザイナーのおかげで、ファッション業界は今後も印象に残る商品を繰り出してくるのは確かだ。リバティーン・リバティーンは注目ブランドの一つだ。「サーフィンやスケートを背景としていますが、ストリートウェアも扱っています。ちょっと大胆で仕上げがいい。特別感があって、職人の技が生きている。今後、重要なブランドになると思いますよ」というのが、カールセンの見立てだ。「また、エイポックス（Apocs）、ブランド8（Brand8）、オー・ドーン（Oh Dawn）もすごくクールです。特に情報発信の仕方がかっこいいんです。興味深い新進ブランドグループで、今後がとても楽しみな存在です。」創造性にますます磨きがかかり、高い品質を維持しているコペンハーゲンのストリートウェアブランド。まもなく世界各都市を制覇するのは間違いない。 woodwood.dk、 norseprojects.com、 soulland.com、flavour.dk、

ます。デパートの中のホテルはうちが初めてです。」控えめに言っても野心的なプロジェクトだが、これによってイルムの世界的地位が上がり、イタリアのラ・リナシェンテ、イギリスのセルフリッジズ、パリのコレットに匹敵するデパートになる。「5 か年計画で進めています。（2014 年は）外側、正面、一階部分を3段階で工事しました」というバッフィ。ここ12か月は確かに慌ただしかった。イルムの3棟の建物はそれぞれ建てられた時代が異なるが、その外観の統一が最初に解決すべき課題の一つだった。それをやってのけたのはヴィルヘルム・ラウリッツェン建築事務所で、建物の新たなエクステリアを考案した。もう一つの課題は、ストロイエ・ショッピング地区側の入口をもっとビジターフレンドリーなものにすることだった。「エスカレーターの位置を、お客様が探さなくて済むように入口を入ってすぐのところに移しました。吹き抜 globalblue.com

け空間を小さくし、新たに木張りのエスカレーターを設置しました。新しい玄関は明るくて、ひさしが大きくなりました。イルムのロゴも変更する予定です。次の120 年間に向けた刷新です」と、バッフィは説明する。このように、イルムはコペンハーゲンっ子が長年親しんだ燕のモチーフに別れを告げることになるが、店舗はスカンジナビアン・モダンの代表例へと変貌している。バッフィいわく、「8 軒のレストランがオープンする4 階直通のエレベーターを新設しました。レストラン街はスティールではなく木張りで、いかにもスカンジナビア風になります。」食の世界でも名高いコペンハーゲンで、イルムのレストラン街は来店者やブランドを惹きつける重要な特徴になる。「コペンハーゲンにはミシュランの星を獲得したレストランがたくさんあって、スカンジナビアンフードをめぐる盛り上がり様はすごいです」と、バッフィはいう。ブランド各社は既に新装イルムにこぞって出店している。2014 年末、
