Copenhagen Fashion Week

About

Copenhagen Fashion Week is a biannual event held in January and August, showcasing the best of Scandinavian design and setting a global standard for sustainability in fashion. It originated from the merger of Danish clothing trade fairs Dansk Modeuge and Dansk Herremodeuge in 2006. The event features a mix of established and emerging designers, predominantly from Denmark and Northern Europe, who must adhere to strict sustainability criteria. This includes using a significant portion of certified, recycled, or up-cycled materials in their collections and implementing circular design principles. The event highlights Scandinavian minimalism with a modern twist, incorporating bold colors and innovative silhouettes. It serves as a platform for creative expression and collaboration, fostering a supportive community among designers. Copenhagen Fashion Week's emphasis on sustainability and eco-conscious practices has positioned it as a leader in responsible fashion, influencing the global industry. The event includes runway shows, presentations, and trade fairs like CIFF and Revolver, making it a comprehensive showcase of fashion and style.
