DANSK Magazine

Georg Jensen FTW

We interrupt the stream of menswear week images with a little post from Georg Jensen’s recent event in New York, celebrating the company’s new retrospective exhibition, Centuries of Sterling Icons. The lovely Fernanda Palmeiro at GJ (who also happens to be DANSK’s former Deputy Editor) knows that sending me an email that opens with ‘Georg Jensen hosted Danish Royal Visit’ guarantees I’m on the DANSK WordPress dashboard uploading images faster than you can say curtsy.

Beauteous Georg Jensen pieces + the Danish royals = so much win. Her Majesty The Queen of Denmark and His Royal Highness The Prince Consort were in New York for the opening of the exhibition (done in their honour, of course) and HM Queen Margrethe II scored so many style points for wearing polka dots ahead of the autumn/winter season. Attentive readers will of course remember our New Year’s fashion extravaganza featuring all the Queen’s 38 New Year’s speech looks. (Click HERE for a refresher.) And how cool is HRH Prince Henrik – it’s all about the tie and the lilac shirt.

It really was a Dane-tastic event: the gorge Oh Land performed, Helena Christensen looked super sultry, Camilla Stærk rocked her alluring signature turban look and Hamish Bowles looked super spiffy as per usual (okay, he’s not really Danish at all, but he totes could be.).

The exhibition runs until the end of June at Georg Jensen’s Madison Avenue store – check it out.
