The Danish fashion industry is booming like never before. Successful designers, international fashion fairs and two annual fashion weeks have rightfully put Copenhagen and Denmark on the fashion map of Europe. Some even speak of Copenhagen as the fifth European fashion enclave.

FASHION WEEK

---

Ranking as Europe’s fourth largest fashion city, Copenhagen hosts its own fashion week during the months of February and August. The Copenhagen Fashion Week is the biggest of its kind, and aims to boost the professional Danish fashion industry.








WORLD'S GREATEST CATWALK

  To mark the end of the 2010 Copenhagen Fashion Week, the World's Greatest Catwalk was set up on the streets of the Danish capital. 1,6 km of catwalk and over 200 models brougth high fashion to the people.








SWEETEN UP DESIGN

---

   Every year at Copenhagen Fashion Week a designer creates a cake together with the patisserie La Glace. This year Rikke Mai was invited to sweeten up her design.










THE SLIPPERY SPIRALSITUATION

---

 Every year the danish fashion designer Henrik Vibskov creates a spectacular fashion show, at the Copenhagen Fashion Week. This year the show was called "The Slippery Spiral Situation".

 







DANISH DESIGNER MAKES THE FASHION WORLD A BETTER PLACE

---

When faced with the double bind of paying high prices for designer clothes which are produced by underpaid workers in developing countries, more and more fashionistas turn to those designers, who offer a guilt free alternative. Being that Danish design is known for its problem-solving innovation, it hardly comes as a surprised that Peter Ingerwersen and his label Noir have set the bar high for corporate social responsibility in the garment industry.





THE FINE ART OF DANISH FASHION

---

It comes easy to Copenhageners; slapping on 10 layers of clothing, a scarf and boots is done with a grace and elegance rarely found anywhere else in the world. Observing the fashion-culture from the eyes of a hot-blooded individual from the Southern Hemisphere, you notice that everyone here seems to possess an innate style that is effortless and artful.
