Opposites Attract

If you were alive in the 70ties chances are that you know one of the firs international hip fashion brands hailing from Denmark – Margit Brandt. The brand was hugely popular with the upbeat style crowd of the 70´ties and 80´ties from New York to Saint Tropez. When Margit Brandt reinvented itself as a highstreet brand a few years ago it had intstant succes. Now the brand from 1965 has teamed up finacially with Kopenhagen Fur – the famed Copenhagen based fur auction house that delivers 80% of the Worlds finest mink fur. Quite a different kind of cooporation we must say. How the luxury fur company and the high street brand will manage to have a long and loving relationship remains to be seen over the next few seasons. Stay tuned for updates here.

Bye Bye, Anna!

André Leon Talley has been Anna Wintours sidekick for years. 30 to be precise. An od couple in every way, but hey…it has worked. André – now in his mid 60ties – has apperantly grown up and is stepping out on his own. And that means an au revoir to Anna-she-who-rules-all and Vogue US. Mr Talley will work for the Russian edition of Numéro as editor at large in the future and rumour has it that he will also have his own talkshow on Ameriacan TV very soon. We loved André as a judge in Americas next Top Model, so we can’t wait to see him as a talk show host. Wicked!

The Beginning

We at DANSK like to be prepared and not do everything at the last minute. So right after Paris fashion week (and that last party we should never have gone to) we went back to Copenhagen and got to work on the next issue - DANSK AW13 – which will be out in time for the next round of fashion weeks around the globe. Here is a tiny little peek at what we were doing the other day with our new Danish model obsession, Charlie! Yum, non?

Valentino goes Cinderella

Ok…this shoe is not made of glass, but at least it looks like it. If I was a girl I would go and get my toenails done and walk into Spring with this feminine shoe.

PFW FW 13 round up!

Paris fashion week fall winter 2013 was all about taking chances on one hand and staying safe on the other. It was therefore a very dualistic experience. We – obviously – want to welcome the fact that some designers feel that the time is right for some fall fashion that is actually pushing the boundaries.

We love the new calf length even though it’s not for everyone to wear. We love the very structured oversize vibe that is going on, which is definitely going to be refined next season. We love that whole relaxed 90’s grunge feeling, which seems to work well as a contrast to the couture-ish turn Paris has been taking the last couple of seasons. Having said that we are quite sick of models looking as if they just got out of bed… Please, give the girls a Mason Pearson brush. (more…)

Cara, oh Cara…

The model everybody is raving about these days is British Cara Delevingne – here seen at the Burberry show in London yesterday. Could she be the next Kate Moss…?
