When tourists and Copenhageners take a stroll down the famous pedestrian

Northern Europe's largest fashion event
Copenhagen Fashion Week has during the past few years developed into a large
and renowned event with an international scope, and it attracts more than
50,000 buyers, designers and global press.
But not only the industry and buyers are invited. Tourists and
Copenhageners are invited to join the party when Copenhagen Fashion Festival
takes to the streets. Large parts of Copenhagen are transformed into a
fashion Mecca of shows, exhibitions, concerts, trend shows and parties. And
the "fashion for the people" concept also reflects Danish fashion.
It is becoming worldwide renowned for its unique angle on design,
innovation and aesthetics and a modern approach to functionality. The clothes
are wearable and affordable - often referred to as "democratic fashion."
Copenhagen - fashion capitol of Scandinavia
Not only is Copenhagen the gastronomic place to go at the moment with a
restaurant holding the title of "the world's best restaurant" and "Best
European Chef", but Copenhagen is also considered Scandinavia's fashion
capitol. And the vision is to become the world's fifth fashion mecca,
following New York, Milan, Paris and London. With the world's greatest
catwalk and a fashion week growing in size, Copenhagen is well on its way.
