about
This innovative Danish brand was created in 1997 with the sole aim of creating exquisite design.
Inspired by Asian tailoring and culture from over a decade spent in Asia, founder Keld Mikkelsen wanted to create a business focused on a design driven product with a craftsmanship revival - manifested in details such as embroidery and beading - and focusing on contemporary everyday glamour.
Day Birger et Mikkelsen had it's first Autumn / Winter collection available in carefully selected retail shops, mainly in Scandinavia, in August 1998. Less than a year later in March 1999, Day Birger et Mikkelsen won the very prestigious Danish Design Award "The Golden Button."
Using the inspiration of the ethnic cultures of Asia as a starting point, the label infuses each piece with the sumptuous feel of vintage glamour and playful personality.
