LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS

Time after time Scandinavia has been heralded as the home of Europe’s best emerging menswear designers and the coolest cuttingedge fashion, with ferce debate over which city can claim the title

of capital of contemporary Scandi style. Many believe it’s Stockholm, home to world-renowned labels such H&M and Acne, or Gothenburg, with its distinctly fresh, hip edge. However, when it comes to

innovative, stand-out-cool menswear, it’s clear that the Danes have it nailed. Copenhagen has produced some of Europe’s fnest menswear designers, from high-end talents such as the avant-garde Henrik Vibskov, whose pieces are much coveted, to rising stars such as recent graduate Nicklas Kunz. Kunz’s frst full collection, his autumn/winter 2013/14 range inspired by sportswear and hip hop, has already earned fans across the globe, including the designer’s fa-

vourite rapper, Kendrick Lamar. One designer brand that has seen a meteoric rise to streetwear stardom is Soulland. Started in 2002 by designer Silas Adler, the brand began with a concept – Tshirts inspired by skateboarding culture, frst made by Adler for his friends. T-shirts soon expanded into entire collections, but the label still keeps its streetwear roots intact, with a strong focus on mixing classic and contemporary styles, using the best-quality materials to create clothes that exemplify

Craftsmanship and simplicity are key to the Scandinavian design ethos

the Copenhagen’s design aesthetic – as Adler describes it, ‘simple, intelligent and wearable.’ The label’s latest ofering is the spring/summer 2014 Bauhausinspired Katastrophe collection. As Adler explains, ‘The Bauhaus was probably the most important school to infuence modern architecture and design. Its abstract forms and geometric shapes obviously played a central inspirational role for the design of the spring/ summer 2014 collection.’ While Adler himself is not Danish, he

was raised in Denmark and lives in the country, and acknowedges the efect of this on his design process. ‘I am very aware of Denmark and Copenhagen. And in many ways I’m inspired by this town and the life I have in it,’ he says. The collection is largely focused on signature all-over and collage prints, all made by hand, featuring masks, geometric and fragmented architectural pieces, building on the Danish design foundations of attention to detail and honest craftsmanship. Craftsmanship and simplicity have always been key to the Scandinavian style ethos. These characteristics apply to fashion design and to lifestyle as a whole. Danish brand Wood Wood, founded in the same year as Soulland, is another

great example of Danish functionality in fashion, with collections focused on refning Scandinavian style to create comfortable, wearable fashion – put simply, real clothes for real men. It’s the overarching lifestyle focus that has seen many Danish brands branch out from design into successful retail.

Wood Wood has seven stores, expanding the Danish design-led lifestyle across Denmark, Germany, Austria and Russia. Menswear stores such as Goods are also staples of the Copenhagen-based Scandinavian menswear movement, ofering carefully edited pieces from collections by con-

temporary, simple, streetwearinspired labels such as Dana Lee, House of Billiam, Norse Projects and YMC. The evolution of the Danish menswear aesthetic hasn’t gone unnoticed, with designers and fashion followers alike beginning to take note of Copenhagen’s style kudos. Mads Kornerup, Copenhagen native and founder of jewellery label Shamballa Jewels, has been creating bracelets, necklaces, cuffinks and rings with his brother Mikkel since 2001, fnding success worldwide and amassing fans all over the world. Both brothers are in agreement that the men of Copenhagen are not only defning Scandinavian style, but leading the way. ‘The men in the city are just

as focused on fashion as women, if not more,’ they explain. ‘It’s an amazing place for contemporary menswear and guys put a lot of effort into what they wear – not in a try-hard way, but in a very efortless way. It’s a very laid-back but polished way of dressing.’ Looking north for the best European menswear design and inspiration is undoubtedly the way forward – it’s clear that Denmark has carved itself a niche as the Scandinavian capital of cool, contemporary menswear henrikvibskov.com, nicklaskunz.com, soulland.com, woodwood.dk, goodscph.com, shamballajewels.com

Denmark and its Scandinavian neighbours are at the forefront of sustainable fashion. David Hellqvist meets some pioneering designers

Denmark, and the rest of Scandinavia, has made a name for itself over the years for minimal, considered fashion design and for pushing the agenda in terms of homeware and technology. But anyone who’s been following Swedish and Danish brands of late knows that it’s no longer all about cool monochrome clothes and denim. As Scandinavian style becomes more diverse, the regional focus has turned to eco-friendly and sustainable fashion. ‘There’s a deep-rooted tradition in our social democratic society for taking responsibility – not only for people, but also the environment,’ explains Jonas Eder-Hansen, director of development of the Danish Fashion Institute. ‘Social equality, fair working conditions, environmental protection were introduced by legislation several decades ago, so 101 / 110

it lies in our traditions and in our values to think responsibly.’ Denmark is a country that’s always been ahead of the curve on ecomatters. This way of thinking and working is visible in a wide array of Danish brands, both commercial, mainstream labels and edgy catwalk designers. Few other countries have managed to convince so many of its customers that sustainable fashion doesn’t have to equal beige and boring garments, and it’s down to an unquestion-

able emphasis on design. ‘I think it’s really important to realise that consumers will not buy a product only because it’s sustainable – you must create something that’s relevant and covers the customer’s needs,’ says Kjetil Aas, co-founder of menswear brand Armoire d’Homme. The Danish fashion industry seems fully aware that just being eco-friendly isn’t enough – style and substance must go hand in hand. According to Marie Worsaae from knitwear-focused brand Aiayu, that notion hit Denmark

Denmark’s highquality, sustainable garments make it an eco-fashion world leader

a while back. ‘There’s an increased understanding that sustainable fashion can also meet good quality and that ethics and aesthetics can join hands,’ she says. Kjetil Aas believes that this green consciousness is inherent to Scandinavian designers. ‘Quality has always been of big importance in Scandinavian design tradition. At the same time, Scandi fashion is focused on so-called “democratic fashion”, which means it should be accessible to everyone.

Those two factors combined might explain why a lot of Scandinavian fashion designers are working with sustainability.’ Designer Barbara í Gongini, who shows at Copenhagen Fashion Week, suggests that the willingness to embrace environmentally friendly fashion is down to consumer mindset and to being prepared to spend a little extra. Her eponymous brand might challenge people’s perception of how ‘ecologic fashion’ should look.

The Barbara í Gongini aesthetic is dark and moody, reminiscent of Ann Demeulemeester and Rick Owens. Though the brand conforms to fashion’s biannual collection cycle, the tempo is not a problem when it comes to maintaining eco-quality. ‘We generally don’t work with fast trends and mass consumption. On the contrary, our core essence is to make long-lasting styles, and we work hard to implement that mindset in our design process,’ the designer explains. Any brand with a focus on sustainability might struggle to implement a holistic, 360-degree policy. ‘There are still limitations in realising a 100% sustainable product, but it’s important that we support the industry in their efort to reach that point,’ says í Gongini. ‘We have developed an in-house rating system that we use from sea-

son to season in order to measure our success. We are not there yet, though.’ Marie Worsaae of Aiayu, which produces Danish designs made out of top-quality Bolivian fabrics, fnds it difcult to locate suitable manufacturing partners. This is especially true, she says, for ‘materials that have a uniqueness about them but still maintain high quality. Moreover, it’s still hard for the manufacturers to understand the importance of certifcations as customers’ demands for increased quality increase.’ In many ways, however, that’s a ‘good problem’ – it’s only when consumers choose high-quality, sustainable garments over throwaway fashion that progress has been made – and Denmark seems to be leading the way armoiredhomme.com, aiayu.com, barbaraigongini.dk

Stephen Doig takes a stroll through the magical enclave of Christiania, Copenhagen’s unique ‘freetown’

LIVING FREE

Despite its historical architecture, 21st-century Copenhagen is a booming modern city. The cobbled streets and historic churches remain, but the skyline is dotted with cranes as new structures rise. Striking contemporary buildings include the glistening Black Diamond, a modern riverside extension to the Royal Danish Library which also houses an auditorium and exhibition spaces, and the imposing, colossal Opera House, while the city’s homes are flled with cutting-edge technology and design. The landscape that the Little Mermaid looks upon has shifted dramatically. This is why passing through the gates to Christiania is all the more magical; the hard edges and clean lines of the city melt away to reveal a very different world. 103 / 112 PHOTO: CC BY 2.0/seier+seier

The rich fairytale history set out by Hans Christian Andersen seems to live on in Christiania, a warren of fantastically painted buildings, craft havens and greenery and a ‘freetown’ which functions outside the normal laws of Danish society. So how did such a place come into being? Christiania, found to the south of the city centre on the banks of Copenhagen’s myriad waterways, was formerly an army barracks.

Cars are not allowed, ivycovered buildings are painted with lavish murals

Previous page: glass house in Christiana

On 4 September 1971, a group of free-thinking Copenhagen locals broke into the disused barracks to use the overgrown green space as a play area for their children. Jacob Ludvigsen, editor of the cutting-edge left-wing Hovedbladet magazine, is credited with declaring Christiania an autonomous space, publishing in Hovedbladet that ‘Christiania is the land of the settlers. It is the so far biggest opportunity to build up a society from scratch while nevertheless still incorporating the remaining constructions. … The objective of Christiania is to create a self-governing society whereby each and every individual holds themselves responsible for the wellbeing of the entire community.’ But it would be too broad a brush stroke to merely paint Christiania as a ‘commune’. It is, quite simply, like falling through a particularly lovely rabbit hole, as Alice did to discover Wonderland. Above: entrance to Christiana

It is immediately striking that there are no car-worthy roads in Christiania – cars are not allowed. Ivy-covered buildings are painted with lavish murals, paths are lined with lavender and tulips grow alongside timber structures that look like cottages from a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Some of these pretty, almost unreal-looking structures, built by the residents, overlook lapping waters. Others are built into hills, round-windowed and oozing charm, like something from Tolkien’s Shire. Buildings are not ‘owned’ as such, but are built to be passed on to others, in time. It’s 85 acres of peace, tranquility and alternative living. ‘I always advise that my guests see a slice of Christiania,’ says Kirsten Brøchner, owner of Hotel Kong Arthur and the Ibsens Hotel. She sees the area as adding a richness to the Copenhagen experience. ‘It’s a great way to see another side to Copenhagen, a simpler way of life, which, as the city changes, is all that more important to preserve. It can be a like stepping back in time.’ Brøchner’s tips include taking in the Gallopperiet art museum by Christiania’s main entrance, catching the various art galleries Above (both images): murals in Christiana

‘We are living in heaven,’ says a long-time resident of Christiania

and drinking in the atmosphere over cofee, as well as stopping by Galleri Leonard, a collective artist workshop and exhibition space on Sydområdet. Pick up some handcrafted artifacts at CA Butikken on the corner of Prinsessegade and Bådmandsstræde, marvel at the artisanship in the Q-Smedien iron workshop on Mælkevejen and soak up some late night jazz after dark. As long-time Christiania resident Tanja Fox, who moved to the area as a child and has never left, attests: ‘we are living in heaven’ christiania.org, arthurhotels.dk/hotel-kong-arthur, arthurhotels.dk/ibsens-hotel, gallopperiet.dk, kvindesmedien.dk

Despite its reputation as a beerloving city, in recent years Copenhagen has created a vibrant cocktail bar scene that rivals any in Europe.

‘I love it here. Copenhagen has been voted the best city in the world to live, more than once. I took the step about 10 years ago of moving to Islands Brygge, an up-and-coming, cool area close to the harbour. ‘In Copenhagen, if you want the best of Scandinavian design, go to Illums Bolighus * p.86.

atmosphere and you always meet someone you know there. Another place I like to frequent is Café Victor * p.90, a classic bistro style restaurant/bar which has been around forever. Their Danish food is perhaps still the best in town. ‘My favourite walk in Copenhagen is a stroll from where I live at Islands Brygge, passing over the Langebro bridge, which takes me straight down to the harbour. I’ll pass the Black Diamond, which is the Royal Library. From there I’d probably walk down to the beautiful Kongens Nytorv square * p.92, which houses the restored Hotel d’Angleterre * p.92, and then stroll down to Nyhavn, to all the

chic cafés. And perhaps have a beer. Denmark still ofers seriously good beer. In the summer time everybody gathers there and it’s crowded with people. ‘From Nyhavn you get a spectacular view over the water of Copenhagen harbour to the Copenhagen Opera House * p.83, which was a gift from Maersk a few years back, designed by architect Henning Larsen. It’s an amazing construction and a spectacular view. ‘If you are in the mood for a very nice cup of tea, go to Perchs Thehandel * p.90. They serve the best English high tea, just like they do in the UK. Not many people know of the place, but their scones are amazing. ‘As I’m a big fan of modern art, I never skip any shows at the Louisiana museum. ‘The city bikes are really cool – really cheap and they are parked everywhere for you to unlock and go! On warm summer days, drive all the way out to the north beaches of Bellevue.’

Скандинавские стиляги

Индустрия мужской одежды набирает в Дании стремительные обороты. Руайрид Притчард попытался узнать секреты успеха копенгагенских дизайнеров globalblue.com

Время от времени Скандинавию объявляют центром передовой моды и самых перспективных дизайнеров мужской одежды, однако вопрос о том, какой же город можно назвать столицей скандинавского стиля все еще остается открытым. Многие дизайнеры склоняются к мысли, что таким городом является Стокгольм, ведь именно здесь сосредоточены такие популярные бренды, как H&M, Acne или Gothenburg. Однако, если речь заходит об инновационной и яркой мужской одежде, то датчанам тут нет равных. Копенгаген подарил Европе наиболее выдающихся дизайнеров мужской одежды: от знаменитого Хенрика Вибскова до Никласа Кунца, – восходящей звезды модной индустрии. Первая полная коллекция Кунца для сезона осень-зима 2013/2014 черпает свое вдохновение в спортивном стиле и культуре хип-хоп. Коллекция уже успела завоевать немало поклонников по всему миру, и одним из них стал кумир дизайнера – репер Кендрик Ламар. «Soulland» – еще один дизайнерский бренд, которому удалось добиться стремительного успеха. Его история началась в 2002 году, когда Сайлас Адлер решил создать серию футболок на скейтбордную тематику. Вскоре небольшие серии превратились в полноценные коллекции, созданные с применением первоклассных материалов и сочетающие элементы


100 классического, современного и уличного стиля. Изделия дизайнера являются воплощением копенгагенской эстетики, как говорит Адлер: «простой, рациональной и удобной». Вдохновением для последней коллекции дизайнера весналето 2014 стала архитектурная школа Баухаус. Как заметил Адлер, «Баухаус вероятно была основной школой, повлиявшей на формирование современной архитектуры и дизайна. Ее абстрактные формы и геометрические фигуры заняли центральное место в моей коллекции весна-лето 2014». Хоть Адлер и не является датчанином, но вырос и долгое время жил он именно в Дании и это не могло не повлиять на его творчество. «Я хорошо знаю Данию и Копенгаген. Жизнь здесь вдохновляет меня во многих отношениях», – говорит он. Особенностью коллекции стали масштабные принты и фото коллажи с масками, геометрическими фигурами и фрагментами архитектурных элементов, характерных для датской традиции. Выдающееся мастерство и простота исполнения всегда были ключевыми нотами скандинавского стиля. Это же в полной мере относится и к местному образу жизни. Датский бренд «Wood Wood», основанный в тоже время, что и «Soulland», очередной пример датской практичности в моде. Коллекциям марки свойственны характерные черты скандинавского стиля, такие как удобство и globalblue.com

комфорт, проще говоря, настоящая одежда для настоящих мужчин. Благодаря тому, что многие бренды уделяют много внимания образу жизни, привычному для многих европейцев, их коллекции далеко не ограничиваются подиумными показами, но имеют большой коммерческий успех. Так, скандинавские коллекции Wood Wood можно найти в семи магазинах марки в Дании, Германии, Австрии и России. Бутики мужской одежды, такие как Goods также имеют в запасе большой ассортимент тщательно подобранных изделий современных скандинавских брендов, включая Dana Lee, House of Billiam, Norse Projects и YMC. Стремительная эволюция датской мужской одежды не могла пройти незамеченной мимо дизайнеров и последователей моды. Начиная с 2001 года коренной житель Копенгагена и основатель марки Shamballa Мэдс Корнеруп совместно со своим братом Миккелем создает очаровательные браслеты, ожерелья, запонки и кольца. Сегодня украшения марки покорили практически весь мир, а браслет «Шамбала» стал хитом современной моды. При этом, братья твердо уверены в том, что именно копенгагенцы стоят в авангарде скандинавского стиля: «Мужское население Копенгагена интересуется модой не меньше женского, если даже не больше. Это потрясающее место для формирования мужской моды и мужчины прилагают для этого немало усилий. В результате получается очень непринужденно, естественно и стильно».


101 Так что поклонникам современной европейской моды обязательно стоит обратить свой взор на скандинавские страны, и в особенности на Копенгаген, доказавший свое право называться столицей стильной и современной мужской моды. henrikvibskov.com, nicklaskunz.com, soulland.com, woodwood.dk, goodscph.com, shamballajewels.com

Дания и ее скандинавские соседи являются пионерами эко-моды. Дэвид Хэлквист встретился с некоторыми из ее представителей Дания, как впрочем и другие страны скандинавского региона, уже многие годы славится своей минималистичной и сдержанной модой, а также предметами интерьера и технологиями. Однако любой, кто следит за развитием модной индустрии в Швеции и Дании, мог заметить, что местные бренды уже давно не предлагают заурядную монохромную одежду и деним. За последние годы

скандинавский стиль стал гораздо разнообразнее и насыщеннее, а в центре внимания оказалась экологичная классика. «В нашем социально-демократическом обществе установились очень глубокие традиции – мы привыкли нести ответственность не только за общество, но и за окружающую среду, объясняет Йонас ЭдерХансен, директор по развитию Датского института моды. Политика социального равенства, справедливых условий труда и охраны окружающей среды была внедрена в наше законодательство еще несколько десятилетий назад и за это время стала частью наших традиций, наших ценностей и ответственности». Дания всегда была ведущей страной в вопросах экологии. Такого способа мышления и работы придерживаются многие датские бренды, включая массовых производителей и независимых дизайнеров. Немногим странам удалось убедить столь же значительное число покупателей в том, что классическая мода отнюдь не обязана ассоциироваться с бежевым цветом и скучной одеждой, и что главный акцент должен ставиться именно на дизайн. «Очень важно осознать, что потребители не будут покупать товар только потому, что он экологичный и натуральный – вы должны создать нечто действительно актуальное, то что будет отвечать потребностям клиента», – говорит Кьетил Аас, соучредитель бренда мужской одежды Armoire d’Homme. Для датской индустрии моды этот факт


102 является вполне очевидным. По мнению многих скандинавских дизайнеров, стиль всегда должен соответствовать содержанию. Мари Ворсааэ из компании Aiayu, специализирующейся на изделиях из трикотажа, считает, что Дания уже давно заняла такую позицию: «В этой части Европы существует глубокое понимание того, что экомода может быть по-настоящему качественная, а этика и эстетика могут вполне мирно сосуществовать бок о бок». Кьетил Аас полагает, что подобное «экологическое» мышление было присуще скандинавским дизайнерам с самого начала. «Качество всегда имело большое значение в скандинавской традиции дизайна. В то же время, мы привыкли ориентироваться на так называемую «демократичную моду», предполагающую ценовую доступность для покупателей. Сочетание этих двух факторов может объяснить, почему многие местные дизайнеры выбирают именно эко-моду». Дизайнер Барбара Гонгини, представившая свою коллекцию на Неделе моды в Копенгагене, считает, что успех эко-моды стал возможен благодаря менталитету потребителей и их готовности потратить немного больше обычного. Одного знакомства с изделиями дизайнера будет достаточно, чтобы навсегда изменить свое отношение к «экологичной моде». Эстетика Barbara í Gongini загадочная и таинственная, напоминающая стиль Ann Demeulemeester и Rick Owens. globalblue.com

Хотя бренд успевает выпускать свои коллекции дважды в год, это никоим образом не отражается на эко-качестве. «Мы никогда не следовали скоротечным тенденциям и не ориентировались на массовое потребление. Напротив, нашей основной целью было создание образов, которые просто не будут выходить из моды, поэтому мы упорно работаем, над реализацией этой идеи при дизайне наших коллекций», – объясняет модельер. Любой бренд, работающий с эко-модой, может столкнуться с некоторыми трудностями при реализации глобальной политики. «Существуют определенные ограничения при создании 100% экологичной одежды, но важно то, что мы поддерживаем это направление и рано или поздно мы достигнем своей цели», – говорит Гонгини, – «также мы разработали специальную рейтинговую шкалу, с помощью которой можно из сезона в сезон оценивать наш успех; пока что нам еще есть к чему стремиться». Мари Ворсаае из датского бренда Aiayu, знаменитого своими коллекциями одежды из высококачественных боливийских тканей, говорит о том, что найти подходящих производственных партнеров сегодня довольно сложно. Особенно это качается тех ситуаций, когда мы работаем с «уникальными и одновременно высококачественными материалами. Более того, многим производителям по-прежнему трудно понять, насколько важно производить качественный сертифицированный товар, особенно в условиях


103 повышенного спроса на качественную продукцию». Свидетельством очевидного прогресса, скорее всего, будет тот момент, когда покупатели во всем мире будут отдавать предпочтение высококачественным и натуральным вещам, нежели скоротечной моде, а пока что здесь лидирует только Дания. armoiredhomme.com, aiayu.com, barbaraigongini.dk

Жить свободно Стивен Дойг прошелся по волшебным улочкам копенгагенской Христиании – уникального «свободного города» Несмотря на свою древнюю архитектуру, сегодняшний Копенгаген представляет собой вполне современный город. Казалось бы, вокруг все те же мощеные улицы и старинные церквушки, но глянув на горизонт, невольно замечаешь все новые и новые строящиеся здания. К числу современных архитектурных сооружений Копенгагена можно смело отнести «Черный Бриллиант» – новое здание Королевской библиотеки, вмещающее конференцзал и выставочный комплекс, а также потрясающий Оперный театр. Что касается жилых домов, то здесь копенгагенцам в особенности повезло – их строительство ведется по самому последнему слову техники и дизайна. Со времени открытия статуи Русалочке городской пейзаж подвергся серьезным изменениям. Именно поэтому путешествие по

сказочным улицам Христиании представляет еще больший интерес – резкие границы и чистые линии городских построек сливаются здесь воедино, открывая поистине новый мир. Целый сказочный мир, созданный Гансом Христианом Андерсеном, словно оживает в Христиании, ее фантастически разрисованных домах, мастерских, оранжереях и даже местных законах, – ведь это своего рода государство в государстве. íак как же могло возникнуть подобное место? Христиания, расположенная к югу от центра города и изрезанная множеством небольших каналов, была когда-то территорией военной части. В 1971 году 4 сентября группа свободомыслящих местных жителей проникла на территорию заброшенных к тому времени и поросших зеленью бараков и стала использовать ее как игровую площадку для прогулок с детьми. Значительный вклад в историю Христиании внес Якоб Лудвигсен, издававший анархистский журнал «Hovedbladet», в котором он провозгласил создание свободного города: «На сегодняшний день это крупнейшая попытка построить новое общество, используя при этом уже имеющиеся конструкции. … Целью Христиании является создание демократического общества, каждый член которого будет ответственен за благополучие всей общины». Одним словом «община» едва ли можно описать все великолепие Христиании. Попав туда чуствуешь себя Алисой, последовавшей за кроликом и


104 встретившей настоящую страну чудес. Первым что бросается в глаза – это отсутствие машин, которые здесь запрещены. Поросшие плющом здания покрыты яркими граффити, вдоль дорог растут тюльпаны и лаванда, а деревянные домики словно вышли из сказок братьев Гримм. Некоторые из этих симпатичных, практически волшебных построек расположены прямо напротив узеньких водоемов. Другие имеют вид уютных землянок с круглыми окнами, прямо как из деревушки хоббитов. Здания никому официально не принадлежат и со временем должны передаваться другим гражданам. Вся эта идиллия и безмятежное существование охватывает в общей сложности 34 гектара земли. «Я всегда советую своим гостям сходить на экскурсию по Христиании», – говорит Кирстен Брехнер, владелица отелей Kong Arthur и Ibsens Hotel. По ее мнению, этот район значительно обогатил ландшафт Копенгагена. «Это отличная возможность увидеть другую сторону Копенгагена и простой образ жизни, который нужно тщательно беречь, учитывая нынешний прогресс. Попадая сюда, ты словно чувствуешь, что оказался в прошлом». Среди всего прочего Брехнер советует посетить расположенный рядом с Христианией художественный музей Gallopperiet и другие картинные галереи, особенно Galleri Leonard – коллективную художественную мастерскую и выставочную площадку на улице Sydområdet. В globalblue.com

«CA Butikken» на углу Prinsessegade и Bådmandsstræde можно приобрести изящные изделия ручной работы, в мастерской Q-Smedien на Mælkevejen полюбоваться на работы жестянщиков, а вечером послушать приятную музыку в одном из кафе. «Мы живем в раю», – именно так описала Христианию Таня Фокс, приехавшая сюда еще будучи ребенком и оставшаяся здесь по сей день. christiania.org, arthurhotels.dk/hotel-kong-arthur, arthurhotels.dk/ibsens-hotel, gallopperiet.dk, kvindesmedien.dk
