DANSK Loves Heliot Emil
Heliot Emil is the menswear rising star, shooting at the speed of light from Copenhagen’s underground scene. With an emphasis on post-industrial cool, the brand couldn’t be further from the wearable/minimalist nexus that most Danish fashion belongs in – yet the founders, brothers Julius and Victor Juul, find their brand’s sombre athleisurewear to be as quintessentially Nordic as their national contemporaries. Recently presenting at Copenhagen Fashion Week, Heliot Emil is gaining a growing following in Scandinavia and abroad – we caught up with the duo to talk about hard beginnings, growth, and sticking together.

Review: Marc Jacobs SS19
The Marc Jacobs SS19 was quite the experience. An hour prior to the show, an e-mail notified guests that there would be a 30-minute delay — very civilized (please take note Paris Fashion Week). Tic toc. But one hour down and complaints were many. Fashion people’s ability to easily and happily whine during fashion week is remarkable. Did they have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention to go to? At least one editor I know left to catch a flight back to Paris — fair enough.
Let Mine Be Divine
Fingers touching toes tipped on the wire
Across our great divide
Are we shadows on the wall
And that’s all
Watch: Fresh Dressed
In large part, fashion history tends to cast its focus on the privileged echelons of couture, as well as its mythologized cast of designers, stylists, models and business owners. Sure, Coco/Yves/Karl were/are interesting, alluring, fascinating makers of fashion – but it’s delusional to think that style only trickles down from above. Particularly in the last 50 years, street culture has invented, transformed, and revitalized the way we think of fashionability – far beyond the gilded runways of Paris. Fashion historians are better to begin to take note of Harlem, Berlin, and the outskirts of Paris as places of style-making – god knows that the industry already is! A nice recent contribution is the documentary Fresh Dress by African-American filmmaker and musician Sacha Jenkins. The film unfolds as a magical chronicle of hip hop’s relationship to dress, starting at the Southern plantations of pre-Civil Rights America to the black church and Little Richard. Through an incredible line-up that includes Kanye West, Pharell Williams, Nas Jones and Andre Leon Talley, Fresh Dress traces the development of hip hop dress up to today, where its influence is felt more than ever. The best part is, the whole thing is already up on Netflix for you to binge on this fashion month. Who needs the runway when you have the streets!

Want: Fjällraven x Acne Studios
Feeling winter creeping in on you yet? Well, just your luck, for this month, Swedish apparel heroes Acne Studios and Fjällräven have joined forces and procured your new winter’s wardrobe. The collection is unisex, multi-color and – of course – a warm tribute to Swedish fashion culture. Gifted with Fjällräven’s seasoned functionality and the vanguard fashion aesthetic from Acne Studios, it is, in other words, a clever mix.
Together in Denim
In a time of political turmoil in the big USA – wherein the country’s leader acts more as a hypersensitive, 5-year old compulsive liar than an actual president – it’s hard to say many things about “American Identity” that more than a couple of people may want to stand behind. Even the biggest nation states need collective narratives – be it through food, cinema, or fashion choices. Ironically, the person who seems most interested in re-defining American identity at the moment is a Belgian – to be exact, Raf Simons, whose tenancy at the Calvin Klein empire only continues to unfold in brilliance.
