Long gone are the days when fashion weeks meant Paris, New York, Milan… Jeez, even Portland’s got one! Photos from Copenhagen are in, so you can get a taste of S/S ‘08 before the big guns start coming out next month. Personally, I’m having a hard time getting into it. There’s a lot of beige and white (the entire collection from Elise Gug is a study in beige, which, actually, is probably my favorite because of its extreme beige obsession), as well as grays, blacks—in fact some of it is a touch wintry. There is some color, of course, with my favorite injections being the pink of Whiite and some sorbet orange pieces by Inwear. It’s kind of reinforcing my tendency to be most excited about what’s right here at home. Even if the clothing I like isn’t all produced locally, it’s become more about what independent shop owners have elected to import, how they’ve interpreted fashion at large to be translatable here, and then to mix it with locally made pieces, things that my doppelgänger in Denmark couldn’t scroll through on Vogue.com. Speaking of here, incidentally, Adidas made a showing in Denmark, collaborating with Wood Wood, which is a line that was imported by a local store: Stand Up Comedy, in the 811 E Burnside building (although it faces the back parking lot). The collection was huge—over 100 pieces. Here are a few looks below, to see the whole thing, click here.
