"Danish women dress like a jumble sale," he says. "They just don't have this classical sense of style any more, but I think they did at some point. It looks like they think: I'm having some children and that's it!" "They all look the same," Goya says. Laugesen thinks he knows why: "Danish people, basically, are all hippies," he says. "There's kind of the idea here that fashion is not important, it's what's inside not what's outside. That's quite Scandinavian."

What does the fashion front look like in Denmark for 2006? The Danish designer of the Rich Land brand name describes its new line like this:
Mood A wild desire for exuberance...a sun drenched explosion of colors! A dream of a languid movie star lounging in a lightweight rainbow robe at the edge of an immense California turquoise blue swimming pool. A panoramic, monochromatic orange view of the boardwalk under the palm trees, seen through a photographer's lens. Also an oriental Technicolor spirit borrowed from the new super luxurious hotels of Dubai. Above all a luminous theme dedicated to color in all is richness.
Colors For women: The pleasure of a vivid luminous range, treated in monochrome or gradation of the same nuance for a "color bath" effect: Sunny orange, watery greens, transparent blues. Also oriental bright colors to be interpreted in diluted gradation or else in an even more flashy manner with the addition of gold.
ColorsFor men: A re-colored tropical spirit range with lagoon greens, sunny orange, cocktail grenadine red. White adds a dash of luminous freshness for the bases.
Fabrics Fluid, ultra-lightweight solid colored fabrics such as chiffon, voile, pongee and also cotton veils, cotton poplin, linen. Lightened technical materials make a comeback. Importance of shiny aspects with very smooth satins, lacquered fabrics but also fine, crackly fabrics such as taffeta. Very rich jacquards of oriental inspiration and over abundance of ornamental techniques associating jacquard motives, beads and applied. Colored denim, cotton and fluid linen. Stretch swimsuit fabrics. Importance of patterns: - An 80's spirit with flat tints of graphic colors. Miami beach style with rainbow colored gradations, colored stripes, kitsch post cards, and panoramic patterns, mixes of exuberant vegetation, palm trees, flowers and sun.
