Nazzal Studio is a pioneering brand at the intersection of fashion, ethics, and activism, deeply rooted in Palestinian heritage and resistance.

Founded by Sylwia Nazzal during her university years, inspired by her exploration of politics and culture, the brand gained prominence with her graduate thesis collection, "What Should Have Been Home" created in 2022-2023. This collection, symbolic of Palestinian resistance, garnered global recognition after events in October 7th, highlighting the need for art that amplifies marginalized voices. Nazzal Studio prioritizes ethical practices, collaborating with refugee women and advocating for community empowerment over mass production. Embracing their role as artists in clothing, they challenge conventional fashion norms while championing important causes.

Sustainability Requirements

AW26 is Nazzal Studio first season onboarded to the Sustainability Requirements framework. By AW27, Nazzal Studio will be screened by CPHFW’s Sustainability Committee and must demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Standards to be eligible for the Official Show & Presentation. Learn more about the onboarding phase here.

Please note that the Sustainability Requirements framework is not a certification scheme or audit. As such, complying to the Minimum Standards does not mean a brand or their products are “sustainable”, “responsible, “conscious”, “eco-friendly” or the likes. It simply means the brand has been screened by the CPHFW’s Screening committee Rambøll and are living up to Copenhagen Fashion Week’s admission criteria. Brands are responsible to ensure compliance with the Danish Marketing Practices Act, following the Danish Consumer Ombudsman’s recommendations when communicating about their sustainability practices across their platforms, same goes for any communication related to their participation in Copenhagen Fashion Week and their Sustainability Requirements screening.
