BoF and Copenhagen Fashion Week partner for a second season, inviting industry leaders, designers, strategists and cultural experts including Esprit’s Ana Andjelic, Lagos Fashion Week founder Omoyemi Akerele, and author and sustainability strategist Alec Leach, to explore future visions for fashion weeks globally.

Partnering with Copenhagen Fashion Week, BoF invited market leaders including Pascal Morand, Julie Gilhart, Ganni co-founder Nicolaj Reffstrup, EU Parliamentary Committee chair Dr Christian Ehler, journalist Clare Press, executives from Renewcell and Lenzing, and others from across the value chain, to work together towards actionable solutions capable of urgently altering the industry’s ecological impact.

BoF sits down with the chief executive of Copenhagen Fashion Week to understand how CPHFW transformed itself to become a sustainability leader, and how she hopes to inspire international change.

As regional fashion weeks struggle to stand out, Copenhagen Fashion Week is betting on a radical new approach that will require brands to meet minimum sustainability standards.
