COPENHAGEN FASHION FAIRS INTRODUCES A NEW SET-UP AND PRESENTS ITS TERMINAL-2 PRESS SHOW STYLED BY AWARD-WINNING STYLIST
Terminal-2 gets its own press show - styled by award-winning stylist Simon Rasmussen - while the CPH Vision Press Show teams up with former fashion director at Costume, stylist Anne Stockmann and global trend forecaster WGSN.
In line with the work and vision to
brand and promote CPH Vision and Terminal-2 separately comes the
decision to introduce a completely new set-up for Copenhagen
Fashion Fairs. As Copenhagen Fashion Fairs only launched Terminal-2
a year ago, it seemed natural to keep the new fair under the wing
of CPH Vision. But in less than one year the success of Terminal-2
has surpassed all expectation and has managed to stand on its own
feet and gain recognition in Denmark and internationally.
"We felt a need to split the show into two separate events.
Showcasing designers from both CPH Vision and Terminal-2 under the
name of CPH Vision Press Show was somehow misleading and we simply
felt that Terminal-2 deserved a show of its own. The fairs have two
completely different identities and a sharp differentiation of the
two segments was definitely needed." Jesper Emil -
Show & Event Manager - Copenhagen Fashion Fairs
The Terminal-2 debut show takes place on Thursday 11 February at 10
am and the venue is the fair itself.
"I'm happy to be on board and as we present the trends for
AW/2010, ambitions are set high. We're looking to do something out
of the ordinary, to create an alternative that might not be what
you expect of a traditional catwalk show. But as always, it's all
about the teamwork and about attention to detail in everything from
the styling to the models and the atmosphere. Styling a trade show
is definitely a much greater challenge, but at the same time you're
presented with endless possibilities as your range is broader and
you are not limited to one collection only." Simon Rasmussen,
stylist
Simon Rasmussen contributes regularly to publications such as
Costume, Dansk, Cover, Tush and Qvest and his work was recently
featured in L'Uomo Vogue. Last year, Simon won the prestigious
Dansk Fashion Award for Stylist of the Year. At the
Terminal-2 show this February, Simon brings his City Hunters,
Ghetto Sailors and Front Row Gypsies to the catwalk.
CPH VISION PRESS SHOW HELD AT THE SPECTACULAR COPENHAGEN
OPERA HOUSE
As the only show during fashion week, the CPH Vision Press Show has
exclusive rights to the amazing Copenhagen Opera House where the
event will be held on Wednesday 10 February at 6 pm for a selected
crowd of Danish and international press and celebrities. It will be
a very special show - for the first time focusing solely on women's
brands.
On board to style the show is stylist Anne Stockmann who in
partnership with global trend forecasting agency WGSN will
interpret key trends for AW/2010.
"Having the Opera House as a backdrop was just wonderful all in
itself. For this set-up, we envisioned quite minimalistic and
clean-cut styling, permitting the clothing, the surroundings and
the atmosphere to take centre stage. I am excited to work with a
mix of both established and new brands. I am especially keen on
working with up-and-coming designers who are usually really good at
adding that extra edge and daring to think out of the box - I think
that needs to be acknowledged. I therefore believe that it is of
greatest importance to keep a balance and go easy on the styling
and let these wonderful creations speak for themselves." Anne
Stockmann, stylist
Anne Stockmann has worked as a stylist for many years and was
previously fashion director at Costume, one of Denmark's largest
fashion magazines. Anne now commutes between Copenhagen and New
York where she freelances for various Danish and international
fashion houses and publications.
For A/W 2010 Anne suggests a minimalistic look with classical and
useful pieces spiced up with cocoon silhouettes, volumes, prints
and fur.
