Students from Krakow, Poland reckon themselves a serious challenge to Copenhagen's claimed fashion supremacy. See them face down biologists at the Biocenter, Faculty of Science

by Mike Young

The beautiful old city of Krakow (or Cracow) in Poland was once the powerful centre of a dynasty of kings, the Jagiellonians.

Now, the students of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, flaunt a royal sense of fashion. They launch a direct challenge Copenhagen's students: What makes you think you are so smart?

See the randomly selected students from Krakow in an impressive array of well thought-out outfits here.

No outdoor types here

Defending the University of Copenhagen's fashion honour this time is the Biocenter at the Department of Biology, the Faculty of Science.

Oh No! (you think). Outdoor types with rubber boots and anoraks. Wrong! They are, apparently, serious in terms of style, also indoor style. Judge for yourself here.

And don't forget to vote below.

Compare and vote

See our previous fashion showdowns in our War of the Wardrobes series here and vote:

San Diego, United States vs. Life Sciences, Copenhagen

Wageningen, Holland vs. Faculty of Law

Faculty of Humanities vs. CBS in Copenhagen

Seoul vs. University of Copenhagen selection 1

Hong Kong vs. University of Copenhagen selection 2.

Padua, Italy vs. International students, University of Copenhagen

Status so far

So what is the status so far?

Wageningen University in Holland appears slightly more popular than the University of Copenhagen, taking 51 per cent of the vote, and Seoul has sprinted away from us. But our voters have Copenhagen leading against Padua, Hong Kong, CBS and San Diego.
