Hipster, H&M: undressing 'multiculturalism' in Denmark (20 images)
Published on
China, Vietnam, Cambodia. Like other Europeans, the Danes dress up in affordable clothes made all around the globe. So observes Nicola Zolin, an Italian photographer who took the challenging task of combining 'hipsters and hypocrisy' in Copenhagen. However, unlike most other Europeans, the multiculturalism discourse pegged high on Danish political agendas past. Zolin’s lens shifts the concept to something the Danish are renowned at - fashion. Do these students actually know where the clothes they wear come from, and where they have been manufactured?
