-Because Denmark has been able to produce international fashion designers too.
Kunstindustrimuseet (The Museum of Crafts and Design) in Copenhagen, is currently showing the exhibition, Walk on the wild side, with the groundbreaking fashion design of Margit Brandt from 1965-80. From the mid-60's, her design helped create the concept of Danish fashion, also on an international level.
Margit Brandt (b. 1945) is a graduate designer from Margrethe-skolen (Fashion Design School) 1961-63, where she was judged by Holger Blom.
She subsequently took a course at Tilskærerakademiet (The Patternmaking Academy) in 1964. Then she went to Paris, where she was hired as a House model at Balmain, for a later apprenticeship. She has among other things, also worked for Louis Feraud.
Margit Brandt is married to Erik Brandt, who is also her partner professionally.
After a several year long period of other tasks, including abroad, the Brand was successfully re-launched in 2005, now with their daughter Julie Brandt Dam as designer.
You can read more about Margit Brandt on the brand-owners officiele website here, as well as on the website of Aok´s here. The Exhibition can be seen until the 19th September 2010.
