Newly arrived international students are, once again, roaming Copenhagen’s wintry campus areas. Though overwhelmed and baffled, they’ve come here with fresh fashion inspiration from far-away nooks and corners all over the world.

New international students from throughout the world were brought together for an orientation meeting at Frederiksberg campus, the new Science faculty.
