Denmark is quickly becoming one of the world’s most fashionable countries, and it’s for good reason. The rise of Scandi chic is something that continually influences our day-to-day wardrobes and on an industry level, Copenhagen’s seasonal fashion week showcases are becoming a staple event within the cultural calendar.
As a result, more and more of us are looking to the distinctive locale for inspiration on what clothes to wear, what products to buy and most importantly: how to use and style them. With that in mind, the market is continually growing, bustling with new beauty and fashion brands for us to devour.
