Some 47 percent of the Danes said that Copenhagen was the top Nordic fashion city – an opinion shared by the Norwegians (32 percent). Both the Swedes (37 percent) and Finns (38 percent) voted their own capitals number one.

Copenhagen hosts Copenhagen Fashion Week, the largest fashion event in Scandinavia, twice a year. The February edition starts tomorrow while the summer edition tends to start on the first Wednesday of August.

The event is mostly centred at the large convention centres Bella Center, Forum and Øksnehallen.
