The DANSK S/S 2012 covers

Susanne — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:00:08 +0000

Behold! The DANSK spring/summer 2012 covers. The issue marks the ten-year anniversary of DANSK and hits newsstands around the world on February 2nd 2012.

Freja Beha Erichsen wears Louise Amstrup.
Photographer — Christian Brylle
Fashion editor — Anders…

DANSK Wishes: Smythson

Susanne — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:00:22 +0000

While I do my very best to pretend my job description says ‘read Dlisted.com, watch Ringer and make scrapbooks with pictures of Gabriel Mann’, I do also pretend I’m a fashion journalist of sorts by writing things sometimes. And…

DANSK Wishes: American Horror Story

Susanne — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 10:00:56 +0000

The full first season hasn’t even aired yet. I don’t care. I want Ryan Murphy to make me a special box set with all the upcoming episodes. (Maybe he can spritz some of his perfume on it too?) I…

DANSK Wishes: Königs

Susanne — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:00:16 +0000

A little while ago, I was quoted in a piece in Horse & Hound where I described dressage maestro Edward Gal’s gold riding boots as “The Only Way is Essex called. They want their boots back.” So yeah. I…

DANSK Wishes: Meadham Kirchhoff

Susanne — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:00:27 +0000

I have no words for how much I love this Meadham Kirchhoff witch on a broomstick jumper. When the Addams Family finally realise I’m their long lost daughter and come to pick me up in their 1932 Packard Twin…

DANSK Wishes: Victoria Beckham

Susanne — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:00:24 +0000

Victoria Beckham and I go, like, way back. 1997 was a particularly thrilling year: I dressed up as Victoria for the annual football match at my riding club, where four of my friends and I got our cheerleading on…

DANSK Wishes: Lanvin

Susanne — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:01:03 +0000

Junior Madsen and I were just debating what colour this beauteous Lanvin dress is. We went through golden curry (sometimes I seriously wonder how we ever graduated from fashion school) and American school bus yellow (if the bus was…

DANSK Wishes: The Row

Susanne — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:00:45 +0000

Sometimes, I wonder if I am in fact related to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, because we totes all love the same kinds of fur. The Olsens and I look nothing alike, but I’d like to think we’re at least kindred…

It has arrived!

Susanne — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 12:19:30 +0000

Much like this Oprah clip – a current favourite of ours – the Harvey Nichols Christmas videos are a gift that keeps giving. Last year, I think I was responsible for at least thirty views on the doggy…

Gucci a go-go

Susanne — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:42:11 +0000

L-O-V-I-N-G the Gucci Twitter this weekend. The Gucci Masters are on (that’s a major showjumping event for those of you that don’t speak horse), and fittingly, the Gucci team – Charlotte Casiraghi and Edwina Tops-Alexander – won the…

François Lesage 1929-2011

Susanne — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:49:29 +0000

François Lesage has passed away today. The master embroiderer leaves behind an astounding legacy – it is hard to imagine fashion without the man so infinitely synonymous with couture’s magical universe.

Press day: Holland and Holland S/S 2012

Susanne — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:29:26 +0000

Walking into Holland and Holland is a bit like dying and going to heaven. That is, if your heaven consists of tweed for days, guns and general hunting amazingness. I know mine does, anyways. Tally Ho, y’all!…

Press day: Talk PR S/S 2012

Susanne — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:03:16 +0000

Come spring, everything will be better down where it’s wetter. (No, I’m not being unusually rude on quiet Thursday, I’m quoting The Little Mermaid. Seriously, people. You’re too much.) And Holly Fulton’s aquatic masterpieces are so up…

Press day: Harvey Nichols S/S 2012

Susanne — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:43:56 +0000

Oh, Harvey Pickles, we heart you so much. Not only do you not frown upon me doing some pre-flatwork lesson shopping in my jodhpurs and dirty boots (thank you for setting up shop right around the corner from…

Press day: DeVetta S/S 2012

Susanne — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:46:38 +0000

Our press day tour also took us by the lovely girls at DeVetta, where we ooh’ed and ah’ed over Brora’s cashmere offerings – not least their brilliantly playful collaboration with Louise Gray. It was the day of the…

Press day: Karla Otto S/S 2012

Susanne — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:10:55 +0000

Press day at Karla Otto is a pretty epic experience. Clothes for days, y’all, and an army of amazing KO’ers to take you through it all. One of our biggest highlights was Valentino – Maria Grazia and…

Press day: Theyskens’ Theory S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:48:26 +0000

Olivier Theyskens doesn’t know this yet, but we’re all set to get married at a lavish midnight ceremony this winter. I’ll be wearing one of his ah-mah-zing gothic-romantic gowns for Theyskens’ Theory. Olivier will be looking dreamy…

Press day: Browns S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:24:18 +0000

The buying at Browns is all kinds of amazing, something which the press day only served to remind us of. It took quite some time to get Junior Madsen to leave the Dries rail, and I got a…

Press day: Salvatore Ferragamo S/S 12

Susanne — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:19:32 +0000

Totes feeling the suede fringe bags at Salvatore Ferragamo, who opened the doors to the Kipling Suite at Browns Hotel for the seasonal Ferragamo fest. Also loving the seahorse bracelets – spring/summer’s Ariel theme can’t come soon enough.…

Press day: Liberty S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:09:11 +0000

Oh, hi, Liberty press day, making us add even more things to our spring/summer shopping list. We’re still crushing on the b Store x Liberty collaboration, and Junior Madsen got his daily Dries fix.

Press day: BPCM S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 11:28:11 +0000

Junior Madsen and I are OBSESSED with Revenge. We just can’t get enough of it. Revenge feels so good. (As in, the ABC show.) We may be planning a blog post or two about it, especially now that…

Press day: Rupert Sanderson S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 11:10:43 +0000

Always a delight to swing by at Rupert Sanderson HQ, where the gorgeous Alex had put on a very pretty press day. I am helplessly in love with these pastel suede beauties and I’m quite tempted to pull a…

Press day: Max Mara S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:37:49 +0000

Totes loving us some floral Sportmax at the Max Mara press day. So chic, no?

Press day: Sonia Rykiel S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:58:05 +0000

Our four (nearly five) week press tour (we try to give those Twilight kids a run for their money) also took us to Sonia Rykiel, where the lovely Chris from the Paris office had whipped up a storm…

Press day: Diesel S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:36:04 +0000

We popped by the Diesel press day where the handsome Sirs Richard and Carl treated us to a preview of some amazing soft leather jackets (mint green and mustard) and lots of dreamy denim.

www.diesel.com / image courtesy of…

Press day: ASOS S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:52:32 +0000

ASOS and I have a hot and steamy online relationship. Okay, I also see Dlisted and Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber on the side, but you know what I’m saying, ASOS. You and me, baby, we’re…

Press day: Surgery S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:27:49 +0000

Adding to the increasingly long list of stuff we ~~want~~ need for next season: House of Holland for Superga – hell to the yeah – and those amazing textured Givenchy glasses.

Press day: Giorgio Armani S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:11:47 +0000

Ciao! Reporting from the Giorgio Armani press day (must be read in an Italian accent), where we loved us some waxy, shiny men’s knitwear and Giorgio’s take on spring/summer’s underwater story. Amiamo!

Press day: Yves Saint Laurent S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:59:59 +0000

Dear fashion version of Father Christmas,

Please send one double-breasted Yves Saint Laurent spring/summer 2012 suit, at least two pairs of Yves Saint Laurent spring/summer 2012 metal plate shoes, a bespoke Le Smoking and some assorted items from…

Press day: Paul Smith S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:50:51 +0000

Sir Paul, you little minx. Tempting us with your enchanting spring/summer prints. We’ll take two. Always a pleasure hanging at Smith HQ. Extra points for having Haribo.

www.paulsmith.co.uk / image courtesy of Dansk

Press day: Louis Vuitton S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:45:43 +0000

It was like an amazingly chic version of Toddlers & Tiaras as the always lovely Alistair opened the doors to Louis Vuitton’s spectacular press day, where we fell in love with all things candy-coloured and Kim Jones’ super…

Press day: Jonathan Saunders S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:22:16 +0000

The ever so handsome Jonathan Saunders had his press day at the ever so chic new Matches abode in Marylebone, and as we all know, the Matches universe can be a bit addictive, so press day soon turned into…

Press day: Orla Kiely S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:15:37 +0000

We’re rather smitten with this Orla Kiely Macbook sleeve, as modelled by one of our favourite PRs. She wanted to be all incognito, so we won’t say who she is. But her name rhymes with Schmaura Schmooley.

www.orlakiely.com /…

Press day: Swarovski S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:10:53 +0000

All I want for Christmas is a Swarovski-encrusted Giles swan headpiece. It’ll come in handy at those family Christmas lunches and at church.

Press day: Fourpublicity S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:09:36 +0000

We got our über-Dane on at Fourpublicity’s press day, coming across not only SAND’s preppy take on the s/s 12 Hawaii shirt, but also Jan Ahlgren’s chic, pared-down universe. Mini pleats FTW. We should totes make Four’s lovely…

Press day: Bottega Veneta S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:05:33 +0000

Always a pleasure to swing by Sloane Street for a spot of Bottega Veneta heaven. Herr Maier has conjured up some rather amazing layered leather pieces for spring – Junior Madsen could not get his grubby little paws off…

Press day: Temperley S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:43:37 +0000

What we loved: sparkly embroidered jumpsuit, anyone?

Headonism

Susanne — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:28:15 +0000

So, how ah-mah-zing are these headphones from Swedish Molami? Yup, ridic amazing. Everyone needs a pair of Napa leather and 18k gold accent headphones in their life. And as someone who’s pretty much surgically attached to her…

Getting cuffed by Georg

Susanne — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:47:14 +0000

Look what just arrived in our inbox – a rather amazing little video from Georg Jensen, featuring their hawt new Smithy Cuff collection. Loving the curved silver and the leather laces. Ah, Georg, you can cuff us any…

Press day: Elizabeth and James S/S 12

Susanne — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:34:00 +0000

What we loved: the sporty luxe vibe, the sheer panels on gorgeous tuxedo trousers, the sugary pastel colours and the amazing sunglasses. Olsen empire FTW!

Amanda Wakeley S/S 12 is a rich, hot Grecian goddess in draped, billowing gowns, who also loves a few patent bondage strap details. (Who doesn’t?) We LOVED the hair at Wakeley, and totally squee’d when we saw one of the…

Meadham Kirchhoff S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:30:50 +0000

To quote Alison Brie in Scream 4: fuck me wow. The Meadham Kirchhoff boys are pretty friggin’ brilliant. I wish I’d filmed the whole thing. Like, Anna Wintour smiled. Throughout the entire show.…

Roksanda Ilincic S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:30:05 +0000

You’ve gotta love Roksanda for doing her show at the Institute of Directors on Pall Mall. Bring on the English grandeur. The collection was dotted with lots of Roksanda’s signature shocking pink – this time, she’d even snapped up…

Designers Remix S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:00:34 +0000

The Designers Remix show Tuesday morning was a major case of the Danish invasion. Mrs Boss – aka Kim Grenaa – was on styling duty with Anders Sølvsten Thomsen, and the Danish brand showed a sleek and convincing…

Mary Katrantzou S/S 2012

Susanne — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 08:30:23 +0000

DANSK favourite Mary Katrantzou makes the coolest prints, and I’m loving this season’s tops with trains and metallic Louboutins. Mary bravely tackled one of the world’s most difficult flowers (no, not hydrangeas), and after her…

Giles S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:00:42 +0000

Todd Lynn S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:00:44 +0000

I love me some Todd Lynn, and this season, Todd went almost (gasp!) soft on us, with free-flowing hemlines and loose silk trousers. But there were plenty of badass jackets and strong tailoring to keep the dark Lynn…

Erdem S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 13:30:40 +0000

Erdem is such a clever boy. Not only did he have his show at the Savoy (swoon), but he matched his powder blue Smythson invites to the colour of the ballroom walls – and then to his insanely…

Michael van der Ham S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:30:35 +0000

It pretty much looks like a print and colour bomb exploded all over the London season, and Michael van der Ham of course hit a similar nerve, building on his signature of bright collage prints and spliced fabrics.…

Christopher Kane S/S 2012

Susanne — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:30:25 +0000

Susanne — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 09:30:19 +0000

Hurts hotness at Mulberry

Susanne — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 21:30:02 +0000

So yeah. Mulberry know how to throw a party. The ballroom at Claridge’s was covered in balloon animals and seaside funfair props – I failed at the claw machine but DANSK contributor Anthony Stephinson won a totes…

Acne S/S 2012

Susanne — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 19:30:03 +0000

Junior Madsen and I were Acne’d up to the nines for the Acne show, where an army of hawt Scandi-looking boys kept the Martinis flowing. Jonny had been on a trip to Marrakesh, but this was never going…

Matthew Williamson S/S 2012

Susanne — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:30:20 +0000

Apologies about the less than stellar photography. Junior Madsen was probably a bit drunk when he took it. But he was sober enough to rave on about the gorgeous embellishment and magnificent soundtrack at Mr Williamson’s show all night…

Paul Smith S/S 2012

Susanne — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 16:30:31 +0000

Unique S/S 2012

Markus Lupfer S/S 2012

Susanne — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 12:00:51 +0000

The Best Makeup of the Week Award definitely goes to the genius Mr Markus Lupfer, who transformed his girls into a flock of wild animals with the most amazing muzzle-beak-nose-trunk masks. And we were all smiles after the…

I was sold on Richard Nicoll just looking at the show notes, which read ‘Laura Palmer blue’ and had a picture of a Simplicity pattern pack with 1960′s girl’s nightwear. Loved the seemingly sweet but subversive sheer boudoir-wear…

Junior Madsen got a bit excited when we arrived at Emilio de la Morena and found his girlfriend Olivia Palermo sitting practically right next to us. The immaculately polished La Palermo has been at quite a few shows this…

The S/S 12 Jasper Conran girl is riffing on a bit of nineties zen with pared down greys and slick Perspex bags.
