In episode 8 of Style Stories: Stepping Out, I chat with Malene Malling, Danish publishing powerhouse and founder of Copenhagen fashion label La Bagatelle. At the tender age of 26, Malene saw herself as  Editor-in-Chief of Elle magazine and has since led the helm of several fashion titles including Costume and her own publication, Cover. Practically Danish royalty in the design and fashion circle, Malene is an authority on the Danish woman and how she dresses. Whether she’s talking about her style, La Bagatelle or Copenhagen Fashion Week the story is always one of respect, reverence and craftsmanship. And it’s this sense of responsibility to both community and environment harmonising with a point of privilege and a hard-working strength that underpin the story of Malene and Danish woman alike, ensuring their effortlessly chic style is tailored to stand out while always fitting in.
