Kunstindustri Museet 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 (Patternmaking School) 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 her 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.
