open for business

One indication that life is returning to some semblance of normality: fashion week is on in Copenhagen! “We need to keep the wheel spinning,” justified Copenhagen Fashion Week chief executive Cecilie Thorsmark. The hybrid event, running this week, will feature both physical and digital shows. “This isn’t a one-off ‘Covid edition’," she added, "but a new way to do fashion week. This is the kick-start of something new.” Bring it on, I say--and all of its new-fangled post-lockdown sartorial inspo. As shown in these most recent snaps, the Danes are carrying over their WFH staples to the streets, with relaxed oversized t-shirts, casual button-downs (specifically wide pinstripes), durable denim, sporty sandals, and easy shorts, aplenty. I'm more than ready to get back to business in similar transitional pieces, like this versatile striped shirt (in various shades!) and oversized but still flattering tee, sporty but chic sandals like this, this and this (sooo Chanel!), standout cut-offs (and retro ones too), billowy dresses (Cecile Bahnsen, below), and a cozy, throw-it-over-your-shoulder knit!
