How To Dress Like A Scandinavian Man

The Danish lifestyle is on the radar at the moment internationally. Whether it’s architecture, urban planning, gastronomy, design or fashion, Denmark is offering new ways of thinking about old problems. We have a long history of combining simplicity with functionality which still transcends today. We make the best of what we have and I think people find that fascinating.

Menswear has always been taking the backseat to womenswear, but over the last few years, I’ve seen a change in the way men approach fashion. Today, Scandinavian men are willing to spend a lot of money on clothes, accessories and grooming products. They are not afraid to express themselves and make a fashion statement, but it never becomes overstated. That’s the unique thing about Scandinavian men, they have the ability to dress up by dressing down.

Simple, cool, wholesome.

Tonsure, Newline Halo, Heliot Emil and Martin Asbjørn all of which are available in the NORTH WIND concept store in Project 109 Harvey Nichols as part of our collaboration.

The North Wind concept we bring to Harvey Nichols will give their costumers a completely different experience than they are used to. We are offering a glimpse into the world of the typical Scandinavian man. We want to give smaller and up-and-coming brands a unique chance to be showcased at one of the world’s leading retail department stores. With this project, we skip the middle man and go directly from trade to consumer. Our aim is to redefine and elevate the concept of trade fairs, but still tell the story of Denmark being the little fairytale country up north. At CIFF, we want to continue that story by turning the page and creating a new narrative for the future.

North Wind runs from 7 October – 27 November at Harvey Nichols London, and can be found instore on Lower Ground 1, Knightsbridge during store opening hours and online.
