A few weeks back the Cheap Monday Store in Copenhagen and neighbour Le Fix arranged a warm-up party to the Copenhagen Fashion Festival. The backyard hang out was a great success with hot dogs and drinks being served while the guest took their chance to challenge the Women’s World Champions in Foosball!
Russia has got its first Cheap Monday Shop in Shop! The store opened up in Moscow on June 30th and is located in Tsvetnoy Central Market (5, building 2 Tsvetnoy boulevard, Moscow). If your in the neighbourhood make sure to drop by!
Party preparations in the office
If all the Behind the Scenes blogging wasn’t enough for you, here are a few more shots of what went on last week at our fashion show:

During the show we were dancing backstage as the music started. All the models fought the urge to bust a move as they walked down our mega gigantic slide runway, but all the backstage fun came out in the end:
Thanks again to everyone who collaborated with us to put on the show! And a special shout out to the leaders of our design dream team, Ann-Sofie and Örjan:

So this season’s show is over, and thankfully there were no rips, trips or slips, which is a miracle considering the rainy and muddy weather we had before the show. The fashion gods smiled upon us as the sun came out just in time for the guests to arrive and the show to start. If you haven’t seen the show you will be able to stream it from our main website any day now! Pics are already up!
Thanks to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and braved the weather to make the show so great! Everyone in the office is really happy with the turn out and feedback and we are already looking forward to wearing our favorite SS12 pieces.
A bunch of new behind the scenes pics will be posted early next week so check back to see what was going on before and after the show!
For now our design team is already planning what’s next for Cheap Monday. Stay tuned.
It is less than 30 minutes until the show begins! So now we can finally reveal our Extreme Catwalk. Here it is!
Anyone dare slide down Cheap Monday’s slide?
