What you've read above is what the Copenhagen Fashion Week team has to say about this new collaboration between the Danish postal office & the Scandinavian fashion festival. As stated there, two lucky designers attending the week has got the privilege to create Danish postal stamps for the country's postal service Post Danmark. This is an honor not many, if anyone at all, would deny.

The chosen designers to do this was Melene Birger & Silas Adler. What you see both above & below are photographs taken of Silas, in his studio, meanwhile creating his stamp. Adler's inspirations for the stamp was what the fashion industry calls accessories - ties, shoes, hats, pocket watches etc. As you can see at the pictures above the details are microscopic & did most likely take hours of thinking & execution to make.

Silas Adler presented his collection for Soulland today at 20:00 Danish time. A review of it will be posted here tomorrow, alongside with other highlights of today's collections presented. The postal stamp was however on sale ever since yesterday in the Soulland-shops, other Danish shops where postal stamps can be found as well as on the internet, click here if you wish to buy it.

Malene Birger was as said the other designer to receive the honor. Her collection will be presented for the Scandinavian & world-wide fashion elite to observe & admire. However also her stamp was revealed for the public yesterday, click here to buy it. Here's a short interview featuring Malene talking about her stylish stamp, take a look:

This talented Dane chose to go simpler. Focusing on the framing she used one of her black & white sketches in her stamp. Personally this is my favourite of the two. It's very simple in it's edging shapes of sharp contrasts, however I'm in love with how the black takes different tones & thereby making it look very alive & playful, even though no colors are used.

What's your opinion of this all? The idea? The inspirations? The results? Comment with your opinions below & watch out for more takeover posts about the ongoing Copenhagen Fashion Week right here on Today's Top Trends!
