Copenhagen tipped for (ethical) international fashion success



One might not think of Copenhagen as an international fashion force to be reckoned with, but, as this month's Copenhagen fashion week proved, Viking fashionista are style setters to watch out for on the catwalk. Led by eco-savvy label Noir, the Danes are hoping to launch themselves as a city with international fashion credibility, and going down the eco-route is a pretty saucy move. The label's fifth ready-to-wear collection is ethically sound, using organic materials and fair-trade practices where possible. But more to the point it's definitely something new. Combining glamour with toughness, think leather, bold colours, sharp tailoring, blazers, crisp shirts, silk cigarette pants, and sexy cotton cocktail dresses, and... great dane you've got it.
