What’s your favourite destination and why?

Copenhagen! It's where all my friends are and I moved there at 20 years old. It's my forever city. It’s such a cool place to go when you're young — it’s a lot of fun, but it’s also a fantastic place to take your family. I really love the healthy work-life balance of locals.

Where do you like to stay?

The Central Hotel. It’s a tiny, tiny house and there's only one room on top of a mini café, so they call it the world’s smallest café and the world’s smallest hotel. It’s in a really cute area where there are a lot of nice restaurants and vintage shops. It looks almost like something dreamt up by Hans Christian Andersen.

Or if I were treating myself, I would go to Hotel Sanders which has really lovely interiors with both an English and Scandi influence. My latest collection for Fall Winter is influenced by homes and interiors, so places like this are so inspiring. It’s just behind the Royal Danish Theatre.

What’s your favourite meal?

At Restaurant Maison you can order a tower of skinny fries! Plus I love the shrimp which comes with a lovely old-school prawn cocktail dip. They also have amazing white fish with potatoes, which are displayed almost like a flower around it. Plus I'd order a green salad.

What are you top three restaurants?
