Heroine Bags

Please welcome the newest members of the Heroine bag family.

Alexander McQueen has recently introduced two new styles to the Heroine range for the A/W 2013 accessories collection.

Featuring a similar crafted construction and luxurious detailing, the brand has created a miniature version of the original signature Heroine bag.

Hiding in the bushes with Valentino

Whenever I go hiding in the bushes with my military force-entourage, I of course make sure to wear my finest attire. That entails full-look camouflage – and not in sad doucey colors – but in bright, summery silk textures. That is also why I was thrilled when coming across the latest camouflage printed ties from Valentino’ AW13 collection. Who else than the Italians understand the necessity of looking stylishly chic even under the pressure of the extreme outdoors!? Now, all I need is a helmet covered in grass and twigs to complete my look of the season.

The Trouser

A little while ago in Copenhagen, I met Fedro Gaudenzi, the designer behind the new brand The Trouser. Based in London, it’s a brand trying to provide long-lasting pieces in great materials. The Trouser is a harem pant, but the brand also provides capes, shirts and tees.

Splashes of Patouf

With arty inspiration from Jackson Pollock’s paintings, Swedish Patouf are ready to launch their AW13 collection. The black and white stain-print (especially) reveals the brand’s source of inspiration, and along with the clean cut/design of the garments, we at DANSK must admit that we are tempted to invest in a few pieces…

Riccardo Tisci joins the ballet

With his collaboration with the atelier of the Palas Garnier at the Opéra National de Paris, Riccardo Tisci – creative director for Givenchy, has signed the costumes for Maurice Ravel’s ballet Le Boléro, making this his first solo project in designing costumes for the theatre.

The spectacular white sheer dresses are detailed with a skeleton embroidery, making the dancers look very gracefully as they move while also breathing life into this theatrical interpretation.

Crush of the week: Freja Beha for Saint Laurent

Our all time favorite Danish supermodel and previous two-time cover model of DANSK, Ms. Freja Beha is the new face for Saint Laurent’s pre-fall 2013 campaign.

Golden Sun

I seriously don’t think I can live without the new Thom Browne 12-Karat gold and acetate sunnies. That is some hardcore perfection right there.

Juliane Grüner for Bel Sac

The Danish accessories brand, Bel Sac, has just released images from their AW13 image campaign. This season Bel Sac has none other than one of the biggest international models of the moment on board, Ms. Juliane Grüner. Juliane has previously been a DANSK cover model and the face of brands like Balenciaga, Jill Sander and Y-3. We simply adore this chic!
