Copenhagen, the Fashion Capital

Denmark is the world’s oldest kingdom, situated in northern Europe and is one of three Scandinavian countries. Copenhagen was founded already back in 1167 and is now a days regarded as one of the most livable cities, citing its excellent transport, quality housing, superb shopping and abundant culture.
When visiting the city of Copenhagen you can choose to stay in modern large business hotels or small boutique hotels. The restaurants of Copenhagen offers everything from simple open sandwiches to fine dining at top restaurants like Noma, famous for its Nordic fusion food. With Copenhagen’s history and heritage as a city, more recently known for being a contemporary art and design hub there’s lots of attractions to visit as well as shopping to explore.

Bundgaard shoes goes organic

During Copenhagen Fashion Week this August at CIFF Danish shoe brand Bundgaard launched a collection of organic children’s footwear, following the trend with all things organic.

It’s the British designer Penny Leese that’s behind the collection. Leeses lives and works in Denmark and she has created her first shoe collection within the brand’s philosophy of creating comfortable footwear that works with the natural development of children’s feet.

The organic collection offers two styles of sandal, three styles of shoe and one style of slippers, all available in red, brown and blue and will be in stores from spring 2011.

Bundgaard is own by one of the oldest and largest shoe manufacturer in Denmark, Sanita Footwear and are well known in Scandinavia for creating high quality footwear for children (similar quality as Bisgaard and Angulus).

We have had Bundgaard sandals for the girls and we were very happy with them. Would love to try out the organic collection too!

Pregnant Crown Princess Mary visits CIFFKIDS

CIFF’s patroness since 2005, HRH Crown Princess Mary, will at the opening day, the 12th of August 2010, visit CIFF and CIFFKIDS.
During her stay she will attend the trend shows for CIFF and CIFFKIDS.
Since 2004 Crown Princess Mary has steadily worked to establish her relationships with various organisations. Mary’s patronages range across areas of culture, the fashion industry, humanitarian aid, support for research and science, social and health patronages and sport.

Also, there is good news! Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has revealed that she is pregnant with twins.
The Tasmanian born princess married Crown Prince Frederik in 2004. The couple already have two children, 4-year-old Christian and 3-year-old Isabella.

Crown Princess Mary was named one of the top 10 best-dressed women of 2010 in the September edition of Vanity Fair.
We think she’s utterly gorgeous!
