We’re going to Copenhagen

Hi Y’all,
What a day, that’s simply all I can say. Multitasking on another level. But since it’s all good, everything packed, ready and we’re set to go. Hey, I wouldn’t be writing this if everything wasn’t done. I’m starting the week with just a little intro on why we’re going to Copenhagen in the first place. It all started when… No, nothing like that. We’re joining forces with the all mighty Momotaro and going over to Copenhagen Fashion Week to represent the brand big time.
The Copenhagen Fashion Week is full of fashion related events which pretty much revolve around the CPH-Vision and Terminal-2 fashion fairs. Naturally the whole week will full of fully booked show rooms and fashion parties plus the normal stuff like sales, heh. Our main focus will be on the Terminal-2 where we will be having our temporary headquarters together with the guys from Momotaro Jeans.
Terminal-2 is a streetwear and denim fair held in an old locomotive maintenance building, which means 9000 square meters of streetwear. It is meant to be rough and rugged just like the brands showcased there. Divided into segments such as Sport Fashion, Streetwear, Urban and High-End Denim the fair
Playing host to an impressive range of denim and streetwear labels and fashion companies, Terminal-2 is intended to showcase the universe that is characteristic of the urban, denim and streetwear lifestyle with shows, lounges, performances and music. The fair is segmented into Sport Fashion, Streetwear and both urban and high-end Denim needless to say we’ll be representing the denim side of things. And I quote, “with potential of being one of the most innovative fashion trade fair in Europe, Terminal-2 offers exhibitors and buyers alike an amazing space to infuse the building’s spirit and character. The slightly raw and unpolished surroundings of the new exhibition space play host to shows, performances and lounges in a young, energetic and inviting atmosphere. Terminal-2 is not just an exhibition hall, it is also a market place where up to 200 exciting street wear and denim exhibitors, the latest trends and international trade and fashion magazines from all over the world can be experienced alongside influences from music, art and culture.” (terminal-2.dk) I think that explains what the deal is.
We’ll also be dropping some updates from the CPH-Vision. Althought the two fairs have been pretty much integrated together there are certain differences. Where as the Terminal-2 has its focus on the streetwear, CPH-Vision presents you with Contemporary Fashion, Feminine Classic, Direct Fashion, Shoes & accessories and up-and-coming designers.
“The Vision” was started wit ha focus to exhibit Nordic design and has been running since 1998. Since then the show has grown to become an extensive showcase of international talent and style with attendants from all over the world (50% of visitors come from abroad). The fair is held at the historical Øksnehallen, and provides as the CPH Vision puts it “an intimate and exclusive platform for both established and up-and-coming designers.” (cph-vision.dk) The 5000 square meters provide plenty of space for different brands and designers to show what they got. We will be reporting more from the spot.
We will be at the Copenhagen Fashion Week from Wednesday 10th of February until Sunday 14th of February. What this means is that all orders placed during this time will be shipped on Monday 15th of February. You can still reach us via email. Just drop a note to info(a)nordicdenimhouse.com and we’ll get back at you accordingly.
But that’s not all I have to say. When I’m not climbing snowy hills…

…I’m actually working. One of the best things about this line of duty is the “new stock days”. Well today was one of those days. It’s sometimes as easy as getting the batch to your office door, but sometimes (usually) you do have to deal with things such as customs. But that’s nothing. It’s all worth it when you get to go through the stuff. I mean for real, think about the last time you got a set of new gear. It’s like Christmas every time, heh. Inventory, invoices all that stuff is secondary. So I’m going to leave you with just a little teaser of what’s to come. Once we come back from Copenhagen that is.
So check what’s happening through the blog, facebook and twitter. Oh, and if you happen to be in Copenhagen drop by to visit us at Terminal-2.
That’s all for now, the next post will be coming at you straight from the heart of Copenhagen. Wish us luck and may the force be with y’all and y’all. I’m out…
