Copenhagen Fashion Week may be known for exclusive shows and carefully guarded guest lists, but there are still plenty of ways to join in without an invitation.

From 3 to 7 August, the city will host street parties, open showrooms, exhibitions, talks and screenings. We have gone through the programme and picked the public events we think are most worth your time.
