Fashion Fun København 2023! Chloé Silk Tank, Zara Wide Leg Pants & Chanel CC Raffia Espadrilles at Design Museum Denmark

Design Museum Denmark 

Midsummer, June 2023 

 

DESIGN MUSEUM OF DENMARK, formerly The Royal Frederik’s Hospital, which was designed by the architects Nicolai Eigtved and Lauritz de Thurah in 1752–57. The elegant hospital complex consists of rather lower buildings placed around the central quadrangular museum garden. Nicolai Eigtved’s original design of the garden had been planned as a recreational area for the patients and an agricultural space, providing freshly grown potatoes and vegetables until 1926. 

 

The fine linden tree avenues we visitors enjoy very much now, thus around 250 years old, were planted shortly after the hospital was completed. The narrow cobbled paths between the rows were introduced and placed sculptures among the shadow avenues in order to break their mono-uniformity.

 

Therefore, the top trick to mix and match the cheap & chic style so to enjoy the Nordic summer at day and night is to layer up with silk piece and wool yarn. CHLOÉ 100% silk tank in crepe de chine in sage green owns the double pastel tones, which, perhaps highly discreet, still provides the whole look in elegantly chic. ZARA 100% polyester wild leg long pants with metallic shining fibers offer comfortably airy touch and sheer perspectives of skin, perhaps it’s always fun to show a bit of silhouette in summer. Together with CHANEL AW17 100% wool black cardigan, tie a knot on the shoulders, or just let it drape naturally, doubtlessly the effortless way to discover the vibe of design at evening breezy moment in København. 

 

CHANEL CC logo raffia in half-espadrilles and half slippers from SS18 collection, surely a surprise apart from the traditional design in black-beige tones, which give the summer outfits a freshly-look opportunity. The only concern is to avoid the rainy days due to the raffia materials and the leather outer soles; otherwise, they are perfect to mix and match with a simple T-shirt and high-waist jeans as well. 

  

The eventful exhibition halls, from sculptures to textiles, from Greenland to inlands of DESIGN MUSEUM of DENMARK, absorb a huge amount of curiosities of ours, so to reach the design garden, we approximately have 15 minutes to take a look and some pictures. Fortunately the evening is stull very young and with the certain perfect pitch of instant breeze, we seize our time very well and have a lot of fun for the short but sweet adventure. 

 

TOP TIP 1 The black, the beige and the sage green are perfect together for the summer outfits colout tone

TOP TIP 2 Always take a wool cardigan during the trip in Nordic countries in the summertime

Cuisine Crush København 2023! Viet Restaurant Bo Bun & Poonchai Thai Hot Wok

VIET RESTAURANT 

Vester Voldgade 86, St.1

1552 København 

After the arrival and check-in at WAKEUP KØBENHAVN BERNSTORFFSGAD, we are starving and craving for the fresh and tasty luncheon possibility.  

In the Neighbourhood of NATIONAL MUSEUM of DENMARK and TIVOLI PARK, VIET RESTAURANT provides the Nordic modern minimalistic interior deco but the most ready tasty Bun Bo Vietnamese noodle salad on my list. The Vietnamese chef prepare the Danish marinated pork slices wok fried with slightly burnt sweet onions, sprinkling on white sesames, together with pickled carrots, reddish, cucumbers and seasonal vegetables; the rice noodles are soft without tangling, perfectly with several dews of lime and the fish sauce. 

 

Besides the Vietnamese coffee devices, the passion fruit lemon juice with dense foams and kiwi fruits seeds, are the most surprising fruity drink I have ever experienced. Without too heavy amount of ice rocks, the tropical delights melt in my mouth within a second, definitely the perfect choice to balance with rather pepper-salty pork salad bowl. 

POONCHAI THAI 

Istedgade 1

1650 København 

 

Located in the neighbouhood of København Central Railway Station, POONCHAI THAI incorporates natural elements by utilizing the wooden tables, the pebble stone basin, the bamboo chairs and the rattan rice basket into the interior design, and placing the dimmed lighting to create the inviting environments. 

 

Usually avoiding the red meat choices during the lunchtime, we share wok fried chicken slices in sweet and sour sauce with bamboo shoots and green/red peppers, and Yum Wunsan Talay, which is Thai glass noodle salad with blue mussels, tiger shrimps and white octopus served with chilly oyster sauce and seasonal vegetables. Accompany the hot wok dish and seafood, with double jasmine rice plates, we also enjoy fresh apple juice and Thai iced milk tea. 

 

Most of the offers at POONCHAI THAI are as a starting point with the ordinary chili taste as in the traditional Thai cuisine, while we are quite satisfied with our orders on the level of slightly spicy but not too burning. 

 

All the friendly staff we encounter in København encourage us to revisit the next summer!
