After a flurry of shows consisting of slightly androgynous, highly wearable and "on-trend" clothes, attended by guests similarly attired, you begin to yearn for the remote possibility of variation. So you walk into a Moonspoon Saloon and you're greeted by PRs wearing what essentially are giant colourful babygros, and suddenly a whole different side to Danish fashion is revealed.The theatrics really kick in when models come strutting out in tall paper mache hats and for this show, each model was assigned three characters to play, the ensemble embodying characters inspired by designer Sara Sachs' imagination with names like Ghost General, Mother's Finest, Method Man, Sailor Rouge and Opium Boy.The hats actually had an obvious benefit. "We wanted really tall girls. The taller the better!," explains Sachs after the show. Mid-way through the show, the live drumming slows down to a halt and male models tied to a ball and chain drag their steps out: "The show is called the Broken Army, and it's about an army that can't really walk or function."When Moonspoon Saloon first launched, they talked of their label being a melting pot for art and fashion, where each style in their collection would be produced in 99 limited editions with personalisation. Now they have decided to take that idea further by touring around galleries in Europe and the US in the coming months, using the gallery as a venue to do one-night shows, starting of with the the Victoria Miro Gallery in London. By bucking the trend of Danish fashion's mid-range-but-safe reputation, Moonspoon positions themselves as the show to look forward to get excited about each season on the Copenhagen Fashion Week schedule.
