COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK

As September 2010 is finally upon us, it will be Christmas before we know it and therefore we must put aside our winter blues and embrace our last breath of air in the summer before our current summer is over. After all, even though we are in a / W area September Fashion Week to us the first glimpse of the Spring / Summer 2011 trends.

However we should start a tribute to Copenhagen and Stockholm Fashion Week (both took place in August), which saw a new the exploding growth and exciting talent from Denmark and Sweden - one that bubbled to the last few seasons has. By Malene Birger' is not a new label per say, but this year saw Malene their first boutique store in London open.

Her career began back in 1989 after she graduated with a design degree from a renowned Danish Design School. Ms. Birger then went straight into work for jackpot of Carlia Gry and Marc O 'Polo in Stockholm before the opening of its first company Birger et Mikkelsen Day and won the Danish Design Award. By Malene Birger was then founded in 2003 and has grown greatly in strength from season to season in recent years, slowly spreading its wings across Europe and even route to Dubai, according to award-winning award.


Malene is also strong for charity purposes involved, and was an ambassador for UNICEF in Denmark since 2004. Each season she creates a special T-shirt with all proceeds going to children in need in the world, has donated so far, the label 2.3 million DKK.
The S / S 11 collection epitomizes cool and classic chic city at its best with cuts and drapes effortlessly pure and elegant and easy tailoring - with one of the city at the pool or sea side (let's hit the Hamptons now). There is also a touch of fun with nautical stripes and anchor prints, scarves and trilbys - true Riviera-style. While Chunky, ISA tribal jewelry mixed-up with leather and stud detailing roles, without forgetting some fancy decorations to add up to a certain sparkle.
Here, some of my favorite pieces from the S / S 11 Collection ... expect a series of clear white, soft neutrals too dirty khakis, golden yellow and black - gray with a touch of sequins. Also, take the diamond encrusted strappy sandals - I heart big time.
