TopShop plays an active part during London Fashion Week, and not only by sponsoring young designers. Their Fashion Cafe at Oxford Circus is the place to be to see the Kates and Corines sip their lattes and bubbles in between shows.

My new favourite! Winner of the Max Factor New talent award, Wackerhaus. Designer Trine Wackerhausen has since her debut on to the Danish fashion scene in 2003 become a favorite among a new generation of young, Danish designers. With an understated, feminine look Wackerhaus succeeds in delivering a clean and cohesive look, which on one hand expresses a certain masculinity and on the other a fragile and feminine side of contemporary women’s fashion. Wackerhaus makes women’s collections with a high level of elegance and just the right amount of nonchelance.
Another favourite, Designers Remix Collection, designer Charlotte Eskildsen was inspired by black vampires and white angels. The Gothic theme brings us snakeprint jackets, leather, feathers and gorgeous 3D tailoring. And I love the Red Queen hair, but more on the Burton-ban later…
IVANAhelsinki is a label known for its Nordic melancholy, and this collection was no exception. As the tones of melancholic underground rock hit the stage and golden chains danced from the ceiling, the show revealed a rough, Nordic love story built upon a copper chain as its central theme.

Altough Copenhagen Fashion Week is behind us a few days now, I still have loads of images from brands that give me true and fresh inspiration. Therefore I give my blogspace to my favourite Danes instead of the big brands on New York Fashion Week which is held now.
Spon Diogo is a fashion label founded by designers Mia Lisa Spon and Rui Andersen Rodrigues Diogo in spring 2008. They have worked as a design team for nearly half a decade with an architectonic and graphic approach with a strong love for the finest in materials and detail work tailoring. Love that grey dress and Princes Leia hair, like the headlines on Dansk Daily, Darth Vader takes on the runway!
