Fashion shopping in Copenhagen

    Day Birger Mikkelsen

    The magnificent new flagship store for this leading Danish brand is right in the heart of the mainstream fashion district. Birger’s clothes are elegant, classic and sexy, with just a hint of hippy (and that’s just the menswear). Designer Malene Birger’s own shop (she is no longer part of the Day group) is just around the corner on Antonigade 10 and has the same opening hours.

    Henrik Vibskov

    Not just a drummer and prolific artist (past exhibition venues include New York’s PS1 MOMA), Danish enfant terrible Henrik Vibskov is pushing the fashion envelope, too. Stock up on his bold, multiprinted creations for progressive guys and girls, as well as other fashion-forward labels such as Surface to Air, Comme des Garçons and Walter Van Beirendonck.

Storm sells an impressive range of Danish and international labels including Visvim, Sixpack France and Anne Demeulemeester, as well as design books, CDs and fashion magazines.

    POP Cph

    In 2005 Mikkel Kristensen and Kasper Henriksen began hosting parties for Copenhagen’s creative community. The parties continue to inspire the duo’s burgeoning fashion label: four collections per year combine dinner-party glamour with subversive detailing and hipster staples such as printed graphic tees.

    Kendt

    Designer Kendt has lured everyone from Danish fashionistas to American hotel heiresses with his light, girly, vivid cocktail frocks (think chiffon and silk) and more casual threads. Not cheap, but these are limited runs, darling.

    Frk. Lilla

    Raid the racks at this luxe secondhander, famed for its preloved designer labels. Bag anything from Malene Birger cocktail frocks to Miu Miu heels and Marc Jabobs shades, often at 50% off, and never more than two seasons old.
