As written in may last post, Copenhagen Fashion Week will cast a glum shadow over the pretty and deserted streets of wonderous Copenhagen in a few days. As my position as anthropology student is far away from the press or fashion buyers, I haven’t got much to do with it this year. But as Copenhagen is rather small, most people will notice 50,000 people more, Paris Hilton and the extreme amounts of parties beginning with the in vogue word; ‘Fashion…’
Anyhow; set aside my title as a student. Friday day and night I helped out my old employer, Vs. Magazine, with setting up their launch party celebrating their 6th magazine and their, now, annual photography exhibition.
The new edition is much better than the previous ones, with 4 different covers and some great pictures and editorials. My only drag was the name of the photographic exhibition: Keep it Fashion (But Keep it Real). I mean, that would be like saying ‘Be Vegetarian (Eat Chicken)’. Keeping something fashion is to me a quite illusory as the fashion realm is somewhat superficial, which makes me unsure what to keep real? Your own fashion? Who then knows it’s fashion? Hmm… Maybe I’m just a little ignorant. Please help me out?
Yesterday’s event was an exhibition in partnership with WWF and RFC (Forest Stewardship Council) as Vs. Magazine is now ‘green certified’, which is really great i think. It was held at 5 star Hotel Skt. Petri, in the center of Copenhagen.
