Copenhagen Fashion Week Comes to a Close
Copenhagen fashion week kicked off Thursday, and below Blame It On Fashion blogger Marie Hindkær Wolthers reports back on the city’s most notable shows. To view our complete coverage, click here.
DAY 2:Even with the promise of champagne, 8 a.m. is an early call time for the last day of fashion week. But that didn’t stop editors from flocking to Day Birger et Mikkelsen‘s Copenhagen flagship for an early-morning presentation. While show-goers enjoyed a tasty brunch, models wove through the room in tweed coats, wrap dresses, pencil skirts, fluffy sweaters and tiger-print pants. Casual suits and beaded jackets were also Fall features and showed off the brand’s signature fusion of intricate craftsmanship and simplicity.

Shorts Story
Shorts are a sure sign that summer has arrived. But it’s important to keep the warm-weather staple fresh. Some of our favorite designers, including David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone, Carven’s Guillaume Henry, and Alexander Wang, have turned to striped, textured patterns for shorts this season. Pair them with a simple black or white T-shirt, à la model-off-duty Martha Hunt (pictured), and you’re set for any city scorcher.
