Denmark is 30 degrees these days. It’s hot; it’s beautiful; and most importantly incredibly relaxing. It seems like everybody is in a trance of lackadaisical summer mode where time is as unimportant as which hand you decide to scratch your crotch with. In Denmark this means beer, meat and another beer; maybe a little trip to the sea – but only for the vigorous ones.
End of July is also a sign of the annual soon-to-come Copenhagen Fashion Week where my good friend and fellow CP’er, Jakob, dragged me to Amager in Copenhagen to help out an amateur wake-boarder build and paint some small Gaudi’ish houses for Stine Goya’a fashion show in two weeks time. Totally Art Nouveau, as the clever ones would say. I wouldn’t.
I have uploaded some pictures as a little teaser, and if you are lucky you’ll get to see some pictures from the show. Wow! A real fashion show, man. That’s just so awesome. Even mind-boggling – with real models and all that! Maybe even some drinks.
Sometime in the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was aware that ‘fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months’. See that’s clever said. If only…
Stine Goya is good, though. Very good actually – if you ask me at least (which for most probably isn’t assurance enough; especially when talking about something as momentous as fashion).
Fuck. This could be Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and The City writing this. Guess I better stop now. I am daft today. Very much actually. It’s probably the sun.
