About Us

AW23 Copenhagen Fashion Week A Roege Hove Runway 4 5 James Cochran 30

Copenhagen Fashion Week is the organiser behind the namesake bi-annual Nordic fashion week. Our vision to be an agenda-setting fashion week is achieved through our Sustainability Action Plan.

Who are we?

Copenhagen Fashion Week is the leading Nordic biannual fashion week held in January/February and August. Each season, esteemed industry leaders attend four days of showcases and events alongside the two trade shows CIFF and Revolver.

Sustainability is the core focus area for Copenhagen Fashion Week. Copenhagen Fashion Week strives towards making substantial changes to the way the event is executed, and works to inspire and encourage the industry to accelerate its sustainability efforts.

"Sustainability is the core tenet to our vision of Copenhagen Fashion Week as a forward thinking representation of Nordic talent to our global community," - Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO Copenhagen Fashion Week

What is our strategy?

In 2018, Copenhagen Fashion Week got a new management which brought about a highly intensified focus on sustainability. Newly appointed CEO Cecilie Thorsmark established an advisory board of industry professionals and welcomed onboard Knowledge Partner In futurum to help shape the development of Copenhagen Fashion Week’s sustainability strategy.

In January 2020, Copenhagen Fashion Week launched its first ambitious Sustainability Action Plan. In the spring of 2023, a continuation of the Sustainability Action Plan will be published.
