Series: Urban Chic

A comprehensive, multidisciplinary study of Copenhagen fashion.

Copenhagen has long been celebrated for its unique fashion, design, innovation, and sustainability practices, yet there has never been a comprehensive history of Copenhagen fashion and its current innovation and sustainability drive. This book fills that gap, assembling a multidisciplinary roster of contributors to examine all aspects of Copenhagen fashion and culture. Grounded in a broad context of Danish culture, industry, media, technology, sustainability, and innovation practices within the wider cultural and economic fields of fashion, the book helps us understand what makes Copenhagen unique.
