DAY Birger et Mikkelsen´s headquarters, situated in a beautiful five-storey townhouse at Kongens Nytorv in the heart of Copenhagen, feels like a family home. And family is the ethos behind the brand, says Keld Mikkelsen, who founded the company in 1997. Mikkelsen´s designs are driven by craftsmanship - whether embroidery or hand beading. The idea, reflected in the brand's name, was to create contemporary everyday glamour. The brand's bohemian yet modern style featuring fine tailoring and fabrics and detailed embellishment soon caught on with a clientele eager for designs with a story to tell.
