Chinese buying danish designs

This year the danish fashion industry is really hunting for the Chinese to come and buy our designs. The fashion week even started earlier this year because of the Chinese new year. We've already sent 33 Chinese fashion bloggers to the country during the annual fashion week (Copenhagen fashion week, 2014 (28. jan. - 2. feb)), to blog especially about the danish designs, so we can get more Chinese fashion-lovers to buy from us. I personally think it's really cool, that Denmark is making a bit advertising about themselves and the danish fashion industry. It would be really good, because, then maybe we could be a bit more worldwide (than we might already am), because we're already such a little country and we need some more attention dragged to our country and our fashion industry. I, myself, am dreaming to become a fashion designer some day, therefore I think that it is important that Denmark's fashion industry gets a bit more attention.

I really love the danish style, because it's very minimalistic and simple, but will that drag the Chinese to our fashion?

One of the Chinese fashion blogger who has come to Denmark, named Peter Xu, said to danish news that he thinks danish design has big potential and he can imagine a future of danish design on the Chinese market.

Chanel couture SS collection 2014

It's time again for Chanel's couture collection, and it was released already four days ago.

The show started with a big white wall moving and behind the wall, stood a beautiful beautiful Cara Delevingne, wearing the first couture look of the collection.

The models were beautiful and energetic, and the "spring"-look, was really showing, with the beautiful light pastel colours, and short dresses and trousers, and of course the sneakers, which symbolised "moving" and "freedom".

Almost everything from the collection was made of broodery, and not normal fabric, which made the collection way more "couture" and beautiful.

The only shoes the models were wearing, were beautiful sneakers, which I'm personally really in love with, and I really love the fact, that the models could "move" in them, and ran down the stairs, as Karl Lagerfeld pointed out himself, in an interview after the show.

The last style was, a beautiful Cara Delevingne, dressed as a "Chanel-bride" in a long beautiful dress, were she walked down to the middle, followed by a little boy, holding her veil.

At the end the models stood with all their beautiful outfits on a balcony, and Karl Lagerfeld, the designer, stood together with Cara and the boy, presenting the collection at the bottom.

"No jellewery, no handbags, no gloves.
No earings, nothing.
This was all about attitude and silhouette , shape and cuts"

- Karl Lagerfeld

I really am personally in love with Chanel's spring/summer couture collection, and I've picked out some of my favourites of the collection:

Fashionable "copycat" shirts

Cheap shirts that looks like expensive shirts, with only a different text on it, genius! I now a lot of people loves these kind of shirts, they are so fashionable, even though it's a "copy". I love the idea!
