what were danes wearing during fashion days?

Fashion ideas are generated not only in the shows but also on the streets. People put great effort on looking trendy and chic on the way to shows. Inhabitants of Copenhagen have a remarkable sense of fashion and you can see this while walking on the streets. These looks can give you an idea about what I mean...

copenhagen fashion week SS09

I know, it's a little bit confusing this way...While we were just talking about fall '08 fashion which is on the way and still live the Summer '08 fashion on a daily basis, I am coming up with the photos of Spring / Summer '09 fashion taken during Copenhagen Fashion Week that was held two weeks ago! Well, is it me or is it fashion itself, creating this confusion in our simple lives?!
The Danish capital has been such a popular fashion destination recently due to its designer brands. It might be said that CFW is trying little hard to become the next fashion capital like Milan or Paris. However, emerging designers with the culture of legendary Scandinavian design tradition give fashion lovers good opportunities and options to take a look.
Based on my observations as fas as the catwalk pics I could see are concerned, I could say that we are going to live a "yellow" summer next year. Yellow is a good choice of color for summer: fresh, alive and bright; carrying all the descriptions of the season itself. It can be used as a trim color like in belts, shoes or as an accent in prints, or just as a garment color. Although it isn't as dominant as yellow, the other vibrant color is green. It's widely used in accessories. Green still has time to surround us more, I guess. Fashion trends take time anyway;) Neutrals are just so strong, pastel pink creates a good balance with neutral tones.
Style wise, we keep on feeling comfortable and flow in dresses. I really love this dominance of dresses. Any style of dresses is available, maxis are my favorites though... I can tell vests that have been neglected for sometime seem to be knocking on our doors...High waist continues. Lastly, prints aren't common. They are generally one color, like a painting on the fabric.


Here are my picks...

Marimekko


Designers Remix Collection



Munthe plus Simonsen





Malene Birger




Day Birger at Mikkelsen

armwarmers

Yeap! Arms seem to be jealous of the legs because of the fact that we give them a lot of care :) They also need care and love...Arms need to be warmed, to look chic and stylish...Well, I guess we will be obeying their needs quite a bit...

over the knee socks

It is almost time for fall...It means time for socks,too...Paired with a mini skirt, high socks look cheerful and chic as well as keeping you warm and comfortable. As we mentioned before, this fall will be the victory of skirts. So why not looking fresh and chic, with a mini skirt, a pair of socks and a pair of nice shoes? Recently, runways and streets put more care on stylish socks, so here are my picks;)
