Helena Christensen opens New York boutique

Danish-born supermodel cum photographer Helena Christensen has opened Butik, at 605 Hudson Street in New York. The 900 square foot shop stocks Christensen's favourite things, a quirky mix of vintage, new, and specialty Danish goods. Or, in Helena's words: "everything strange and weird and wonderful and aesthetic and antique and new."

Covetable items include a jacket by Rutzou with a self belt covered in a handful of buttons and a fabric flower near the lapel. Capelets from Baum und Pferdgarten, a popular brand based in Copenhagen, look like something an old-fashioned doll would wear. More modern are Iven Hoj's finely knit sweaters, Camilla Staerk's black silk dresses and Norgaard Paa Stroget's simple maritime shirts for men and women.
