Girls and boys, you may want to ask for a day off on November 23rd.

Imagine being Guy Ritchie, spending your whole life building a career as a director – the slow recognition, the final breakthrough, the post-breakthrough expectations – and seeing your ex-wife do it all in three months. Ouch. Madonna stopped by a shoot to pick up Mert and Marcus for lunch (who knew Madonna was the kind of person who ‘drops by’? It really adds to her warm and down-to-Earth image) and ended up directing the Miu Miu a/w 2010 campaign video.

It’s kind of amazing, actually. Madonna’s managed to get all her signature dance moves in there (except for the crotchy ones, shame) aaaand that stuck-in-motion effect she so loves. Anyway, back to Guy: so yeah, Guy’s doing commercials for major houses and now his wife is, too. And she’s also directing a feature film on Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, which is just about to wrap. And she also shot Taylor Momsen for the Material Girl campaign for Macy’s. And she’s also dating a 23-year-old.

I think that’s all.

Sorry for the picspam, y’all (yes, we not only speak teen, we also speak message board) but we couldn’t just put the pictures from our Copenhagen Fashion Week party as thumbnails, now could we? Our little shindig took place at Custom House in collaboration with Eve and Magasin, and the occasion was of course the launch of our humble A/W 10 issue.

We all got a little too busy drinking the new sparkly peach and passion fruit Eve drinks, which had their world launch at our partay, and forgot to get our CrackBerrys out to take some snaps, but thankfully our more professional colleagues at DANSK Daily remembered to document the evening. If you wonder why Simon only managed to pap Mr Boss and Martin from DANSK HQ it’s probably because the rest of us were, um, a little too jolly to be captured on film.

Anyways, from the top:

1. Our very own Uffe Buchard forced this unsuspecting young man to swap clothes with him when he found out a photographer was lurking nearby.

2. Right before this picture was taken, Børsen’s fashion editor, Lotte Freddie, had told Cath Alexandrine Danneskiold-Samsøe and Alpha Diallo Cruise (yes, we also think they bought their names) that she wasn’t wearing any underwear.

3. Just back from their honeymoon: Mr and Mrs Townsend.

4. The Alexander Skarsgård of the office, Mr Martin Toxværd, with Carlos Pastor.

5. Make-up artist Niccy Welsh with ELLE’s editor-in-chief, Cecilie Christiansen, and hair stylist Neil Moodie. Just a wild guess, but they may have been discussing beauty tips.

Mhmmm, girlfriend! Daum, the months I’ve been waiting to use that headline. (No, really.) Now the time has finally come for me to do a J.Lo hair flick and a strut, because the new men’s Louboutin sneakers have arrived – and they’re exclusive to the nice people at Harvey Nichols.

We’ve been thinking about stealing coveting Todd Lynn’s studded pair of CLs for a while but now we can actually get our own leopard print ones. The suede and crystal ones are quite tempting, too. Buy one get one free, right?

We’re quite partial to F-Troupe’s handsome brogues at DANSK. And this morning we received news that the label is opening its first flagship store in Soho, London this September.

The new Made in England capsule collection of handmade men’s and women’s brogues (note the anchor-shaped cutouts – very chic, no?) will be exclusive to the store, which promises to be part Dickensian curiosity with a bit of Victorian bric-a-brac such as taxidermy and circus freak imagery thrown in for good measure. We like.

Don’t forget to check out Julia Nobis in our tribute story to Lee McQueen in the new issue of DANSK. The story features archive McQueen pieces including the 1996 top above and Lady Gaga’s dress from the ‘Walk, walk, fashion, baby’ sequence in the Bad Romance video. Also in the new issue: the DANSK autumn/winter 2010 contributors – including Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Dan Martensen and Colleen Nika – pay homage to Lee McQueen as they share their best memories, thoughts and stories on the great master.

I skived off last Friday to attend Valerie Steele’s talk on fashion in the museum at Copenhagen’s Museum of Art and Design. Dr. Steele’s lecture gave an excellent overview of the history of the fashion exhibition and, of course, the sometimes slightly problematic discourse surrounding fashion’s place in the dusty museum halls.

It was a full house: Peter Jensen was there, as was Jens Laugesen and Danish Fashion Institute’s Eva Kruse.

More of this, please. One of the highlights of Copenhagen Fashion Week, I think.

You can read my interview with Valerie Steele in the Thursday edition of DANSK Daily HERE.
