Through the years
the Fashion Week in Copenhagen has grown larger and larger and today
it is one of the bigger events in the fashion and textile business of
Europe.
Fashion and
clothing companies now come to Copenhagen from many places in the
World to see the last creations.
Copenhagen Fashion
Week takes places twice a year - in February and August. Next time it
will be:
8th
- 12th
of August 2017
30th of January - 3rd of February 2018
First of all the Fashion Week is organized for
professionals in the fashion business
and many of the events in these days are closed the public. In the
last years however more have been done to make give the citizens and
private visitors of Copenhagen a special experience when in the days
of the big fashion fairs. Now more of these events are branded as the
Copenhagen Fashion Weekend.
The professional
Fashion Week consists of several fashion fairs on different places in
Copenhagen. On top of that many organizations and fashion houses
organize special events and presentations spread all over the city.
