Key in designer circles of all Nordic capitals is not following the trend of global fashion designers and to create their own unique Nordic palate with an urban feel.
This is an amazing place to live," says Western Harbour resident Anne Lisa Georgia James, 30, who was born and raised in Copenhagen. "The view changes every day because there are always new ships coming into the harbour. The singular attractiveness of the water-front real estate is evident from the fact that [Malm]ö and Skåne were recently selected as one of the preliminary race venues of the 32nd America's Cup sailing competition. The arrival of a fleet of exclusive racing yachts and 12 teams from 10 different countries (August 24-September 4) is hailed as "the biggest thing to ever happen to Scandinavian sailing." International expectations are sky-high when it comes to modern Danish architecture. This is especially true now that Copenhagen in January 2005 opened the doors of its se...

Hush is a Danish singer-songwriter duo with strong country and western elements, writing all of their songs together using instruments such as the banjo and violin. Hush was formed in 1997 by singer Dorthe Gerlach and guitarist Michael Hartmann. "We met in Michael's hometown of Randers across the water from Copenhagen.

He had just left the popular singer Marie Frank's band and was now into folk music and pop country artists like Sheryl Crow," recalls Gerlach. The couple began recording the album "A Lifetime" in the summer of 2000, and later that year was released in both Canada and England. The album was a great success in De...
