During Copenhagen Fashion Week ‘The World’s Greatest Catwalk’ will take place on the pedestrian street in the centre of Copenhagen, Strøget. The street will be transformed into one long runway where 220 models will walk 1 mile (1.609 km) and beat the world record for the longest catwalk ever.
We will of cause be there since the catwalk runs right along our office. It’s this Saturday 14th of August at 15.00.

It’s Copenhagen Fashion Week and that means that Copenhagen gets crowded with models, fashionistas, fashion victims, fancy folk and the like. Not to mention the new up-and-coming talents ready to enter the scene.

‘Practicing designers often get caught in the trap of thinking that design is the solution. What they need to realize is that, to a businessperson, design is a solution.

Graphic/Communication designers have a unique ability to communicate visually, however their talent is often restrained by client needs. Positive posters give graphic designers an outlet to create freely, and to use their skills to inspire, challenge and make a positive difference in a non-commercial way. Join the competition here. The picture shows a small segment of last years contributions.
