Day 1. Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2018

Tuesday, May 15th



Tuesday morning the Crown Princess arrived to DR Concert House in Copenhagen to attend the opening of Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2018. The summit is an international conference focusing on sustainable fashion and has the Crown Princess as patron. It first took place back in 2009. At the arrival she was warmly welcomed by Eva Kruse and given flowers from the sweetest flower girl. As part of the opening, EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager gave the speech. Usually the Crown Princess herself use to address the opening speech, but not this time. She listened to Margrethe Vestager's words from first raw. The Crown Princess also payed a visit to the Innovation Forum exhibition, where companies presented different sustainable fashion solutions.

It is not the first time Mary has attended Copenhagen Fashion Summit wearing stunning and magnificent outfits. These ones from 2012, here, are some of my personal favourites.  And this one, here, from 2017 is also incredible. We never really know what to expect from her because every time we get surprised but her choices when it comes to clothes and accessories. This year she dazzled in a reused creation from Designers Remix. It goes back to the fashion summit in 2014, here. The dress is sustainably made of 100 % recycled polyester from plastic bottles, here. Personally, I am convinced that the dress from 2014 has been altered into a skirt because she's wearing a reused black blouse from Julie Fagerholt Heartmade. To me an alteration is the only possibility on how to wear it with that black blouse. I requested the designers and are still waiting for an answer. What do you think? As accessories she had chosen earrings (and a ring) from Pomellato, an Orit Elhanati necklace, bracelets from Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry. A really beautiful combination. She also embraced the style by wearing a reused suede clutch from Hugo Boss, first worn at a swimming event, here, and baby blue Gianvito Rossi pumps. These was worn during the second day in Japan, here. I am sure you remember them. Another thing I want you to notice is her hairstyle. I missed these updo's for so long. She even added a little hairclip from Pico.

Annual meeting with the Mary Foundation

Wednesday, May 9th

For years it has been a tradition for the Crown Princess and her foundation, to gather all collaborators and partners for an annual meeting. As last year, the meeting took place at Frederik VIIIs palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen. The gathering makes it possible to talk about the Mary Foundations results from the previous year and discuss future plans. So around noon, the Crown Princess took  a stand and initiated the meeting with a few words as chairwoman of the foundation.



At the meeting Mary had chosen to embrace a summer chic outfit. Kinds relaxed but classy at the same time. Only very few photos from the meeting have been released, which makes it a little difficult to tell for sure what she was wearing. First glimpse of the new blue blouse made me think of Hugo Boss -so did a friend of mine. Shortly after, Heaven managed to identify Mary's new blouse as a Victoria Beckham design. We agreed that it is the first time she has ever worn anything from this particular designer. I really fancy its sleeves and experimenting neckline. When it comes to the bottom part it becomes a bit more troubled. Still I am sure to have identified what she is wearing to match the blue blouse. In my opinion Mary wore her reused creamy skirt from DAY Birger Et Mikkelsen from the launch of Loving Spoken, here, and at Day of Research 2016, here. Then I am a hundred procent sure she embraced the style by wearing a new raffia belt from Prada. As other accessories she had chosen jewellery from both Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry.

'Splendour of Power' at Koldinghus

On occasion of the 750th anniversary of Koldinghus, here, a new exhibition was opened officially by Queen Margrethe, Princess Benedikte and Queen Anne-Marie. The three sisters attended the opening on May 5th and it was celebrated with great joy, here. The exhibition is called 'Splendour of Power' and tells the story of Denmarks power and riches from 1268 till today by showing royal jewellery, medals and orders. Pieces have been borrowed from among others the Danish, Swedish and British royal houses. The exhibition counts both tiaras, medals, crowns, rings and much more. Pictures of a few pieces from the collection have been published by the Danish royal house, here. Before the opening on May 5th, pictures have been shared on the royal family's Instagram. Those are the pictures seen below. Hypnotic, right? The Midnight Tiara worn by the Crown Princess is among the exhibited pieces and its creators have proudly shared the news, here, here & here.

The exhibition can be seen from May 6th to September 30th 2018 at the Museum at Koldinghus, here. I plan to visit it myself very soon and I can't wait. I'll keep you posted.

Day 3. Business promotion in Seattle

Saturday, May 5th

The Crown Princess has been visiting Seattle from May 3rd on occasion of the launch of a Danish art- and culture business promotion. She has been accompanied by Minister of Foreign Affairs Anders Samuelsen all along. While visiting Seattle, the Crown Princess has both attended an opening ceremony at the National Museum, here, visited the University of Washington and stepped by the Novo Nordisk Research Center, here. On evening of the second day she also attended a gala dinner, here. During the last day in Seattle she had just one official event left -to attend the official opening of a new building at the Nordic Museum. She arrived in a great mood with a large smile on her face. Still in a cheerful the Crown Princess entered the stage and gave a speech as part of the official opening.



On her last day, Mary amazed the world in a navy blue dress. It goes back to a previous event about a year ago when she attended the European Emergency Medical Services 2017 (EMS2017), here. Do you remember her wearing the dress before? At the time I was not able to identify. A similar model was found at Stella McCarntey. It turns out completely wrong. Vionnet (collection: 2016) is the designer of Mary's incredible blue dress. Think this is the only dress, what we know of, that Mary's has from that designer. Hope it will not be the last time because Vionnet has some incredible designs.

 where it came from. Nor do I now. But a similar dress has been found at Stella McCartney, here. I can't tell if McCartney is in fact the designer of Mary's navy blue dream of a dress. I just know they look very much alike. As back in 2017 she embraced the style wearing a rather large brooch, white pearl jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a golden Orit Elhanati necklace. She also wore her stunning Cartier bracelet, which probably is a gift from her husband on occasion of their anniversary a few years ago. At least I like the thought. Mary wore a pair of beige Prada pumps as the day earlier. Perfectly dressed as she is, she styled the outfit with a matching ostrich clutch from Naledi Copenhagen. What made this outfit so beautiful and special to me, is her amazing smile and confidence.
