Prince mention: Copenhagen Fashion Week 2012 "The Purple Collection" inspired by & created for Prince (No pics here yet)

I can't find any source - and no pics either....

but there was a Prince mention last night on danish tv channel "TV2 NEWS - Kultur" @ 20:00:

some artists/ designers has created "The Purple Collection" = some clothes for the Copenhagen Fashion week (this event is taking place here in Copenhagen, the danish capitol this week).

However I can't find much info, any article, pics or source on the internet..... maybe cuz it hasn't heppened yet/ happening later this week?

But on tv: it was said the designers are inspired by Prince, crreating this collection of clothes and these designers were dreaming about/ wishing for that Prince would be a future customer.

If I am not mistaken it's the designers Evren Tekinoktay & Sara Sachs from "Moonspoon Saloon".

mentioned here: http://www.cover.dk/blog/...use-prince

^ IF htat's the case it doesn't look promissing...

btw:

Last year there was a rumour that Prince himself would attend the Copenhagen Fashion Week while he was playing at the NPG Festival at Amager in august 2011,

Headline for the danish article in BT: "Danish Fashion Houses are fighting for Prince"

http://www.bt.dk/kendte/d...-om-prince

but it never happened, Prince did not attend the fashion event.

I can't find much more info for 2012, sorry......

but if any danes know about this "Purple Collection" -- please tell ??

I find that anything inspired by prince usually falls short in comparison. The man truly is a one of a kind. Can u imagine anyone else dressing like him?
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Like Revolution said, stuff inspired by Prince usually doesn't quite hit the mark, so I'm interested in seeing what it all looks like.

I'm firmly planted in denial

The Purple Collection

Tonight is the night where MoonSpoon Saloon have a little thing, down at Tekinoktay. Here is a few words, on what to expect and experience

Prince and princess, ladies and gentlemen, boy versus girl.

Moonspoon Saloon in corporation with Evren Tekinoktay presents

The Purple Collection

The new MoonSpoon Saloon AW 2012 collection is created and designed by Sara Sachs in cooperation with the Danish artist Evren Tekinoktay. The collection is futuristic, electrical and melancholic

- strangely fascinated by his purple highness - Prince.

Sara Sachs, the designer and creator of Moonspoon Saloon, likes to invite artists to her studio to create a metamorphosis between art, fashion and performance.

"I am drawn to all forms of division, especially the one between the genders. I would like to contribute to that confusion."

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
