On Wednesday, Queen Mary attended the Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2024. The Summit aims to ensure greater sustainability in the fashion and textile industries.

In her speech, Queen Mary said: “As you may know, I am the proud mother of four children, two boys and two girls. Today, Isabella and Josephine can fit many of my clothes and, to my horror, shoes. The age gap, however, often means that they ‘wouldn’t be caught dead in that’. However, when they will be seen in something of mine, it always puts a smile on my face. My children are far from the only ones borrowing and swapping clothes, frequenting vintage stores and flea markets. New clothing is no longer seen in opposition to used clothing. Along with progress in sustainable production, the development of new materials and textiles, and scaling of textile recycling, this bodes well for future circularity.”

Queen Mary wore her Jesper Hovring blouse with a repeated skirt and her Gianvito Rossi pumps. She also wore her Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces, her Dulong ring, and her Gucci glasses.
