At the request of British newspaper The Guardian, Lego designed a "hipster" line, featuring a number of classic hipster accessories and looks. The Lego hipsters have beards, black-framed glasses, headphones, denim outfits and, of course, bikes - the most popular mode of transport for young Danes in Copenhagen.

Design manager Tara Wike told the Guardian’s Helen Russell: ‘Danes do monochrome in a big way so the Lego hipster girls keep it simple in black and grey, topped off by the ubiquitous black designer glasses. For the men, we teamed a blazer with a button-down shirt and mismatched suit trousers as well as a classic leather jacket with a striped T-shirt underneath. And of course, facial hair. Beards are big for Danish hipsters – the bigger the better.’

Copenhagen Fashion Week is on from January 28 to February 1.
