Designers at Copenhagen Fashion Week pinned high hopes on the bright colors of spring and summer, which might help shake off the industry’s retail blues. “For many seasons we have been talking about financial crisis. But I sense a great spirit of optimism in our industry at the moment,” said Eva Kruse, CEO of Copenhagen Fashion Week. Danish fashion brands suffered a sharp decline in sales in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, but have rebounded since late 2010, owing to export-led growth.
