CPHFW and The Climate Pledge Announce Collina Strada as the International Inaugural Guest Slot for SS27

For the SS27 edition, Copenhagen Fashion Week will introduce an International Guest Slot, supported by The Climate Pledge—a special recognition awarded to an international brand to present a one-off runway showcase during the official CPHFW schedule.

The introduction of the International Guest Slot is part of a wider collaboration between Copenhagen Fashion Week and The Climate Pledge, highlighting the importance of global collaboration to foster positive change within the fashion industry.

Collina Strada, the New York-based brand founded by Hillary Taymour, will present a one-off collection during the August edition of Copenhagen Fashion Week. The showcase will take place as part of Copenhagen Fashion Week’s 20th anniversary year, marking a significant milestone for Copenhagen Fashion Week and its continued global momentum. Taymour’s commitments to sustainability align with the ethos of both CPHFW and The Climate Pledge.

"With the climate crisis being one of the most pressing issues for humanity today, our collaboration with The Climate Pledge sheds light on the fashion industry's climate impact and the importance of decarbonising brands' business operations. Copenhagen Fashion Week was the first fashion week to introduce sustainability requirements as part of our admission criteria to advance responsible business practices. Setting an ambitious decarbonization plan, as The Climate Pledge signatories are committing to, marks the urgency of climate action and we hope our collaboration can inspire international fashion brands in promptly advancing their efforts with the support and community gained being part of The Climate Pledge.” — Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO Copenhagen Fashion Week

Copenhagen Fashion Week has earned its reputation as a global leader in fashion — not only for its extraordinary creativity and breadth of talent, but for its groundbreaking, sustainability requirements that have raised the bar for fashion weeks worldwide. That's why The Climate Pledge is proud to collaborate with CPHFW to launch the first-ever international guest slot, with Collina Strada set to present this August. Collina Strada is a natural fit for this collaboration — the brand has long championed sustainable design and stands as a proud Climate Pledge signatory.” – Sally Fouts, Director of The Climate Pledge

“I'm so excited to show as a guest designer at Copenhagen Fashion Week because the city has built such a thoughtful, forward-thinking community that really values creativity, individuality, and responsibility. It feels like a place where Collina Strada can exist naturally, and I’m excited to show within a fashion week that’s genuinely pushing the industry consciously forward.” – Hillary Taymour, Founder & Creative Director, Collina Strada
