The theme of the lounge is “Fashion Your Way”, and up to and during the fashion week, there will be exhibitions featuring the personal styles of six well-known Danish fashion icons using products selected at the Copenhagen Airport Shopping Centre.
“Danish fashion and design is famous internationally, and during the Copenhagen Fashion Week, people come to Copenhagen from far and near to get inspiration from and buy Danish fashion wear. Copenhagen Airport is the gateway to Copenhagen. We have therefore decided to show travellers Danish fashion and design and let them experience the intense, fascinating atmosphere of the fashion week already at the airport,” said Carsten Nørland, VP, Sales & Marketing for Copenhagen Airport.
The Danish fashion icons featured are: Aura Dione, singer/songwriter; Christian Stadil, CEO of Hummel; Silas Adler, designer of Soulland; Trine Wackerhausen, the designer behind Wackerhaus; Frederik Lentz Andersen, fashion editor of Euroman; and Cecilie Christiansen, fashion editor of Elle.

Aura Dione, singer/songwriter
Since her debut album ‘Columbine’ was released in 2008, Aura has enjoyed great success both in Denmark and internationally. She is best known for her three hits: ‘Geronimo’, ‘Friends’ and ‘In Love With The World’. Aura’s style is difficult to define, her references being almost unlimited. In many ways she is unique in a Danish context with her uncompromising mix of everything from pop refrain, backbeats, quiet ballads, grand string arrangements, melting choral singing and new folk music. It is all mixed with a twist and irresistibly creative energy.

Christian Stadil has been the CEO and owner of the Hummel clothing label since 2000. He has written a number of books on business philosophy and creativity, for instance “Company Karma”, “Personal Karma – It’s never too late to become the person you thought you should be” (in Danish) and “Taking a bath with Picasso – How to become more creative” (in Danish)). Christian also gives talks internationally on subjects such as management, branding, creativity, innovation and self development, which are partly based on his business philosophy “Company Karma”.
