World’s longest catwalk at Denmark fashion week

COPENHAGEN - About 250 fashion models sashayed designers clothes and accessories on the world’s longest catwalk of about a mile at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

The 1,609-metre long catwalk held Saturday at Copenhagen’s popular shopping street Stroget was the biggest event during the ongoing fashion festival, Xinhua reported.

With Danish model Helena Christensen starting things off, the models strutted on a giant pink carpet, presenting the collections of Scandinavia’s top fashion labels.

“Copenhagen fashion week and the world’s greatest catwalk bring fashion on the street, and bring unique opportunities to Denmark fashion businesses,” said Brian Mikkelsen, the Danish minister of economic and business affairs.

The models also sported the latest looks in makeup and hair styles by Max Factor and Wella in front of around 100,000 audience.

Three fashion fairs were also held during the Europe’s largest fashion event, where 1,100 exhibitors showcased over 2,300 international brands.
