First day, Paris fashion week

J-1

Paris fashion week is starting tomorrow, and there are lots of exciting things coming up! I’m really looking foward to the Sonia Rykiel and Nina Ricci shows, as well as Gaspard Yurkievtich as I loved the men collection this summer. But more important : amazing parties coming up…

See you tomorrow for full report!

For the fall issue, our fashion editor, Marie Déhé, did a great interview of the danish model Freja Beha for her article on scandinavian fashion. My dear friend Freja sent me the english translation for you to read as there’s some interesting facts there.

What does scandinavian fashion mean for you ? It feels like home.

What is the Scandinavian ‘touch’? Knowing how to dress when it’s cold and still stay stylish

Could you tell me more about Danish fashion and Danish designers. Who is your favourite Danish designer ? Wood-Wood have the most amazing sweaters and hoodies very confortable and soft on the touch. Noir is a bit more luxurious but very streetstyle-like and fierce looking. the lastcollection is incredibly dark and sexy, i love how they are not boring but yet only using black and white.

According to you, who is the future Danish talent in fashion, arts and design? Jewelry designers from Danemark are not very famous but there are a few worth being known. i love Clevin Jensen, two sisters inspired by pop art and creating unique pieces of jewellery though i’m not sure they are ‘new’ in the business. Other than that I’m afraid i don’t really have time to focus on emerging talents these days.

What is the Danish archetypal style and the typical look/outfit of the Danish girls? danish girls don’t even have to try, they just put on whatever they find and they are stylish, their style is effortless and practical. I’m not saying i’m one of them but when i used to walk down the streets in danemark, i was like ‘oh my god, is she real?’ I think they are some kind of icons because we can’t really find famous high fashion brands back home. How to look fabulous with 100 dkk? It’s amazing how danish and swedish designers/labels are so talented and no one talks about them. I don’t think there is a typical outfit or look but there is that dresscode which is black/grey/blue, the combinaison seems to be effective as I see lots of danish girls follow the trend.
