In a statement, Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) revealed that SS23, running from August 9 to 12, would have a “strong dedication” to emerging talent, a “keen focus” on menswear, as well as presenting the best of the Nordics and placing sustainability at the forefront.
A highlight of the line-up includes the “future visionaries,” with returning emerging talent Jade Cropper, (Di)vision, The Garment, A. Roege Hove and P.L.N. showcasing alongside Finnish label Latimmier and OperaSport, who are joining the schedule for the first time. The Royal Danish Academy will also present the MA collections of their graduating class.
CPHFW organisers also added that they plan to announce additional plans to support emerging designer growth in mid-June, as part of a wider announcement about the organisation's role in incubating design talent.
