Erik and Margit Brandt - Copenhagen

Margit and Erik Brandt - 1970's

So I seem to always get myself involved in some sort of adventure, which usually turns out in some sort of debauchery. Upon moving to Copenhagen, I decided to contact a few of the most powerful fashion designers in Denmark. Erik and Margit Brandt are one of the most influential couples in Copenhagen, let alone the world and started their fashion company, Brandt Designs, before it was even popular to be a fashion designer in the States, let alone a place like Copenhagen. Before Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen, there were the Brandt's.

I traveled by bike all the way from Ballerup to Copenhagen, which is around 20 miles, to meet with this eccentric couple. We shared a bottle of wine, Erik tried to sleep with me when his wife exited the room (I think he might try this quite frequently), said I was the most wonderful person he'd ever met (I think he is full of BS) and proceeded to name drop all the celebrities he was in cahoots with at one time or another, including the likes of Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger and Edie Sedgwick. Erik was kind enough to tour me around his gorgeous home which included numerous paintings from the 17th and 18th Century. If you are looking for a place to rob, this would be the spot! Fortunately for me, we didn't tour the bedroom where this promiscuous gentleman resides. Before I left, he signed three books for me, one of which is supposedly in a museum somewhere in Europe. I'm gonna try to sell them on eBay and make some loot! Let me just say that my bike ride home to Ballerup was very interesting after a 1/2 bottle of wine shared with the most interesting and horny man I've ever met. BTW, Danish people are very forward and highly opinionated. Maybe we should adopt these two principles in the States!
