The Danish Museum of Art & Design puts Danish fashion history in the spotlight with an exhibition of Margit Brandt's fashion design from the important period of 1965-1980. In Denmark, Margit and Erik Brandt are perhaps best known for their lifestyle, but the goal of this exhibition is to convey Margit Brandt's strength as one of the 20th century's great- est and most famous fashion designers from Denmark – a Danish Mary Quant. In 1979's Fashion Genius of the World, Margit and Erik Brandt figured as the only Danish designers on a par with Parisian fashion creators like Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Karl Lagerfeld and Sonia Rykiel.
