Copenhagen Fashion Week is over and most people from the industry are completely fashioned out after a 4 days of parties, shows, reviews, champagne and 6 inches heels. So Sunday was spent wisely behind closed doors licking the open wounds and looking for recuperation and healing powers at the local pizza joint.

I had a fabulous fashion week where I got to see some of my old  and dear friends that I don’t see on a daily basis. I still have tons of pictures from the week that I will post as we go along.

Here are a couple of shots from the party the magazine COVER threw on Saturday.

MINIMARKET

Rumble in the jungle
By Marie Graunboel

The sound of birds singing followed by an energetic drumbeat echoed in the majestic halls of Copenhagen City Hall when Swedish Minimarket invited us on an African safari (guided trip to the jungle included). The three sisters Sofie, Pernilla and Jennifer Elvestedt behind Minimarket were going for the trans-global vibe presenting a collection revolving around dusty orange and bright blues mixed with simple ethnic prints and an awful lot of black! A departure from previous season’s experiments with shapes and fabrics, this time the designers played it safe with simple shorts, light dresses, colored blazers and comfortable, loose pants. The surprises were few, but one thing stood out: A refreshing change from the usual line-up of stone-faced models, a flirtatious black girl acted like she actually had fun on the runway! Understandably so – who wouldn’t like to go on a Safari?!

TWINS

Watch out – the twins are back in town!

By Marie Graunboel

They smile! And they have plenty to be happy about. Just returned from Royal College of Art in London, Danish design couple Johanne Kappel and Vibe Lundemark are presenting their first collection and I was invited to the exclusive opening of their promising new label named The Tabernacle Twins. And the talent is blatantly obvious! Every piece was exquisite and entirely original; from the heavy knitted coats in shining colors to the bright transparent chiffon tank tops, I simply love it all!

Ghazeleh asked the following question in the post below, “What happened to creation, where did the art of fashion disappear? Is there anyone out there who cares about individuality over consumerism?” the answer is yes. When I think of individuals whom express artistic individuality over consumerism, I think of models. Yes, models.

Models are expected to be fashionable on the runway. However, I have found that it is often when they’re off the runways that they express being the most stylish, unique individuals. When in New York, Paris and Milan models are everywhere and you can tell them apart from the crowd because of their effortless style. So what do you think? Who emphasizes the most on The Art of Invention regarding fashion? The designers behind it, or the models who wear their designs? Here are a few off-duty looks:
