Those crazy Danes! Is it a little attention seeking? A desperate attempt to muscle their somewhat-under-the-radar Copenhagan Fashion Week up there with the big boys, London, Paris, NYC and Milan...? Either way, they attempted to break the World Record for the longest ever catwalk - and break it they did! Slinking down the pedestrian street, Strøget, at a whopping one mile long, it shat over Mexico's previously held record of 1,320.45 m.

Over 200 models worked their thang down it over the weekend wearing the creme of Scandinavian designers. The whole shebang was hosted by Great Dane, Helena Christensen (who else!) and because fashion likes to pretend it really ain't entirely self-serving, the event was to benefit the Children of Chernobyl charity. And we all know there's nothing like a spot of fashion 'n' philanthropy to massage the conscience.
