I will have to disagree with that. Mary does indeed wear quite a lot of Danish designer clothes, especially Julie Fagerholt (Heartmade), Malene Birger (Mary named her as one of her favorites in the Vogue interview), Day Birger and Mikkelsen.

In the beginning she did wear lots of Prada and Hugo Boss but recently she has worn Danish designers in Australia, her day-to-day work in Denmark and on holidays this past month.

IMO, I thinking she is definitely representing the designers of her own country. In between, if she feel comfortable in Prada or any other non-Danish brand, then I for one, have no problem with that.

Hi pdas1201

Very well said! I completely agree with you ! Well done ! :p

Attending danish fashion fair is a part of Mary's job and Mary is definitely doing a terrific job in promoting the long-term interest of danish fashion industry which is the 4th biggest industry in Denmark.

As a Crown Pricess of Denmark, Mary has done an excellent job ! :p I am soooooo proud of Mary's hard work and her dedication to her role.

Mary, YOU ROCK ! YOU GO GIRL ! :) KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK ! :)

Mary, PLEASE SIMPLY IGNORE THOSE SILLY, IGNORANT AND MEAN CRITICISM on YOU !

That is good if now she has worn alot Danish designer, that what she should do as Denmark CP. Mary has to do be careful in choosing her "thing" because she is not an ordinary citizen. She also has to listen what people said, not ignoring all critisize but learn about it to get better step..then she will be a lovely princess for her people. She still can wears design from non Danish designer but may be she has to limmite wearing it in public engagement:) .

Mary opened a clothes store "Montre" at the Fashion Fair. It seems like she received some baby clothes as well.

Huh? Its that time of year again when the Danish fashion industry show their wares, and as protector, Mary was always going to be part of it. The thing is that unlike, say, visit to the hospital or something, this fashion thing goes on for a couple of days - I think that's why it seems like she's doing "more" of these types of things.

However I think the fashion exhibition will finish soon, and if you have a look at her calendar, she's doing HEAPS of non-fashion stuff after it. http://kongehuset.dk/aktuelt/kalender/

For some reason as well, I think Mary's engagements are much more relaxed than others, and I think this affects our thinking on just how many she attends. I mean, she just shows up in a pretty skirt and top, and doesn't go all out formal, so I think subconsciously we think she's just out having fun etc. Which I'm sure she is, but she's also working :)

you couldn't have said it better, lula....

I (suprisingly

) disagree. Just because she likes Prada and Boss does not mean that she cannot also support danish fashion and do her little bit to help them.

Since she became pregnant she has been wearing alot of danish design, which is not a suprise since she now probably has to have much of her wardrobe specially made as it is not that many labels that have a ready to wear collection for pregnant women with stylish clothes for the purposes that she needs. I also think it is unrealistic that just because she is patron of Danish fashion she should only wear danish clothes, she also travels alot and who does not shop when they are abroad. All the Princesses (Letizia VERY seldom) wear italian and french clothes sometimes for public duties(some more than others) and so should Mary be allowed to if she feels like it.

I on the other side thought that posing in magazines to promote danish fashion wearing Prada, Chanel and YSL was a mistake and not her smartest move.

Ariel · #68 08-12-2005, 07:41 AM

I think many of her moves are not hers and many of the things she has done are thought or should be thought by her advisers. She has very few experience as a princess for deciding things like this.

Australian · #69 08-12-2005, 07:45 AM

Ariel i agree with this too, i think the majority of the things she does/wears are advised to her by her advisers. In fact i think nearly everything she does is advised to her since she has only been a princess for a little while.

Anyone who says Mary has not done any worthwhile causes has not looked at her calendar or list of patronages. She is very involved with the heart foundation and Danish mental health programs. She has also attended events promoting Danish culture/literature as well as organizations supporting women. The only reason you see more fashion is b/c the press covers it more. Plus she makes many visits in private to her patronages. She doesn't do "photo shoots" all the time either. She did one for a Danish fashion magazine and one for Australian Vogue. Any other pics or covers are photos taken at those two shoots. Nothing wrong with that. I would recommend in the future looking at her partronages first instead of just saying she is frivolous by what the press covers. They cover what sells, glamour/fashion sells. She also does wear a ton of Danish designers. But she chooses what looks best. She is not required nor should she be to wear only Danish.

Thank you for this post!! this is exactly what i was trying to say in another thread.

rchainho · #72 08-12-2005, 09:29 AM

i think she uses what she wanted to use. Letizia uses spanish clothes (more Felipe varela) because she wants. She's a model princess to follow.

Eh...i don't know why people complain about Mary's clothes...like SO what...are you trying to imply that she's superficial and just cares about her look? if so...as the saying says 'it takes one to know one' why are you so concerned about how she's looks and judging her from her looks, ins't that being just as superficial? And even is she's a princess she's also a woman who probably loves her clothes - just like most females.
