Mikael Colville-Andersen is a Danish writer, director, photographer and founder of the international cycling movement Cycle Chic. The phrase Cycle Chic, which refers to cycling in fashionable everyday clothes, was coined by Colville-Andersen back in 2006, when he launched his blog Cycle Chic – The Original from Copenhagen. In his blog, Colville-Andersen advocates urban cycling and encourages people to use bikes for everyday transport. The term Cycle Chic has subsequently become part of the global fashion vernacular on the back of his blog’s popularity. Called The Sartorialist on two wheels by The Guardian newspaper, Colville-Andersen has also been selected as one of the Top 10 Fashion Bloggers by The Guardian/Observer, and his blog was selected as one of the world's Top 100 by The Times. As a slightly reluctant global cycling ambassador, Colville-Andersen now travels the world speaking about Cycle Chic and how it relates to urban mobility. InFrame.tv caught up for a chat with him on his recent visit to Melbourne as a guest of The State of Design Festival.
