DANISH FASHION GOING GLOBAL 27
Still most material available today on Danish fashion is based on textile or clothing
and has been written in Danish.
Associated product areas and fashion apparels such as shoes, (fashion) jewelry,
fashion accessories, and fur (Denmark is the world’s biggest exporter of mink) have
grown rapidly the past 10 years caused by the transformation in the business and
have become a natural and growing part of fashion.
Where is the border of fashion? Is it fur? Is it high-end jewelry from Georg Jensen? Is
Georg Jensen design or fashion, and why is Georg Jensen participating in events
linked to Copenhagen Fashion Week, and why do they market themselves as a
design company? Or is it one of Denmark’s biggest companies Kwintet which
supplies high-quality professional wear for a variety of uses and industries across
Europe including a range of strong brands such as Kansas? Professional worker
wear such as Kansas is a great inspiration for many fashion-forward labels, so why
not?
The design industry will be referred to as a natural reference and inspiration for the
fashion industry. However, detailed design sectors such as furniture, graphic
communication, advertising, architecture, art, crafts, film, music, performing arts,
publishing, toys, games, and interior design have not been a focus area of the book.
