Copenhagen Fashion Festival
Jan 28-Feb 1; various venues; copenhagenfashionfestival.com
You know you are in Copenhagen when everybody you pass on the street rocks an almost nonchalant ensemble that lies somewhere between ”I woke up like this” and ”I'm a model, baby!”
And with a plethora of high street stores and designer boutiques to choose from, it's no wonder they look so good.
With that in mind, things are looking even better on the shopping front as the city's Fashion Festival kicks off on Wednesday. The festival is run alongside the industry's highly acclaimed Fashion Week to provide those outside the illusive inner circle of haute couture with their fix.
Not just for the elite
So if you thought fashion week was just a thing for the elite, think again. The city's retailers are gearing up to offer you a whole host of free makeovers, wardrobe consultations and plenty of exclusive discounts to satisfy your fashion needs.
