Supermodel Helena Christensen launches World's Greatest Catwalk
A fashion event of unseen dimensions takes place in Copenhagen on Saturday 14th August as the culmination of this summer's Copenhagen Fashion Week. It is called The World's Greatest Catwalk.
Helena Christensen, Denmark's very own supermodel, has accepted the role as patroness of the event and will be opening the mile long catwalk with a speech to the expected 10,000 spectators.
The World's Greatest Catwalk will take place on the pedestrian street in the centre of Copenhagen. The street will be transformed into one long runway and will beat the world record for the longest catwalk ever.
The event is being organised by Copenhagen Fashion Council, a group comprising Copenhagen Fashion Week and Dansk Fashion & Textile, as well as four trade fairs: Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF), CPH Vision and Terminal 2.
There will be over 220 models and clothes from more than 500 Scandinavian brands as well as teams of around 100 makeup artists and hair stylists from Max Factor and Wella.
