They Can Dry The Sea

Last year during Copenhagen Fashion Week, I encountered several notable figures, particularly relevant for anyone pursuing a career in the fashion industry. One of them was Fernanda Palmeiro. Until November 2010, she held the dual role of Editor in Chief and PR and Marketing Manager at Copenhagen’s leading fashion fairs, CPH Vision and Terminal 2. She has since gone on to become Head of PR for Scandinavia and Europe at Georg Jensen. Her career progression is well documented in Fernanda Palmeiro Part 1 and Part 2, which also offer a glimpse into her distinctive personal style.

I also met the fashion forward married couple behind Storm, the concept store they own and run together.

Unfortunately, I missed most of the shows I had been invited to attend, as I found myself stranded on a night train somewhere between Sweden and Denmark. A technical error in the booking system had assigned an additional carriage, number nine, to the train, one that did not in fact exist. As a result, instead of resting, I spent the night listening to the noise and disruption filtering through from the space where I was supposed to be sleeping.
