However, I stumbled upon the Margit Brandt Modedesign 1965-1980 Exhibit (http://www.brandt-design.dk) and was inspired!
Her seventies collection traveled the world with husband and partner Eric Brandt. It then took a new direction, went into home furnishings, and after a long siesta, has been revived back into fashion.
I loved that Margit grew up in Hellerup. Born into a leather manufacturing family she loved sewing from age 7 on.. She proceeded to study the fashion field, she modeled, worked in Paris and married into a clothing manufacturing family. While my inclination is to provide you in full detail this inspiring designer's story, I suggest you read Walk on The Wild Side - Kunst Instri Museet Danish Museum of Art E Design, as I have. http://www.kunstindustrimuseet.dk
If you are in town, see the exhibit, watch the film, meet the couple and explore the Margit Brandt Collection and the company that her daughter now manages.
My favorites are the black maxi coat on the cover of the exhibit brochure, a cut out leather bathing suit, some coat detailing, a couple of dresses and not the 'knack dress' and of course the model shots that were cutting edge for that era.
Stop in Illums Bolighus or Magasin and take home a piece of her collection. I did. A great 2-tier navy silk tightly pleated cut out sleeveless sheath. A great remembrance of her inspiration! Go check it out.
