nss fashion guide: Copenhagen

The main men's fashion week have left us a few weeks ago, London, New York, Milan and Paris made us fall in love with the catwalks of the greatest and most influential designers of our day, but there are cities that follow the steps of the big fashion capitals and for a moment omitting the ever more "giants of the East" like Seoul and Tokyo, it's time to shift our attention to Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Founded in 2006 following the union of two Danish fairs, the Dansk Modeuge and the Dansk Herremodeuge, which boast a history dating back to the 1950s, the CFW is the result of the initiative of Danish National talent Institute. The event that takes place twice a year in February and in August, involves members of national and international fashion, including shows, exhibitions and presentations, welcome tourists and fashionistas from all over the world, looking for the new Kim Jones.

This same curiosity pushed us to go in search of the diamonds of the Danish capital, ready to immerse ourselves in this reality that it is often put aside or not considered enough. We present a special Copenhagen fashion guide, to lead you to discover the city, all the secrets and hidden street treasures.
