HELLO COPENHAGEN

Urban Outfitter, Strøget (Østergade 42), city Show map

18:00 – 20:00 // no entrance fee

Urban Outfitters fashion reception is one of the more easy access ones.

Their PR event offers live music delivered by Kasper Bjørke, goodie bags to the first arrivers, plenty of free Carlsberg beers, energizing drinks and of course a sneak peak of a fashion collection – this time by Carin Wester (not a bad choice, I might add)

I took this picture at their event last summer – a lot of people are waiting to get a goodiebag, so if you want one, prepare to stand in line.

Rezet Store, Rådhusstræde 7 up the stairs to the right, city Show map

16:00 – 19:00 // no entrance fee

As you may know,  this week has been declared fashion week in Copenhagen.

This of course means a lot of “hard to reach” parties and closed doors – but it also means small receptions and free drinks.

Rezet Store is a fairly new (and my personal favorite) sneaker store in Copenhagen. It’s a bit secluded from the busy Strøget and has a welcoming atmosphere.

The small shop is host when the ‘street’ brand Moustage is launching their new collection – their first collection was completely sold out, so I guess if you are into street fashion, this would not be a bad place to get some shopping inspiration.

Also there will be vodka/Burn for the thirsty and of course a dj will be spreading the good vibes.

@ Wonderland Art Space, Absalonsgade 21b , Copenhagen V
17:00 – 22:00 // free

WAS invites you inside a mashed-up, chaotic yet cozy and tactile room for art experience. Sounds like its gonna be with a hint of a livingroom where you can throw your legs on the table.

15 artists are participating in this group show with photography, print, sculpture, collage, drawing and painting. The exhibition will run until January 15.

I guess the opening will have some of the usual ingredients of drinks, chatting and mingling.
