The rising and known fashion week, as of now is planning to do their shows in person, along with live streams for the brands that will show digitally on copenhagenfashionweek.com or through their YouTube channel.
According to notes from the house: “The AW22 edition will also see a welcome return to the likes of Martin Asbjørn and Wood Wood.” Jade Cropper, the winner of this season’s Talent Slot, will present for the first time as part of Copenhagen Fashion Week. “And for the third season the Zalando Sustainability Award, Iso.Poetism by Tobias Birk Nielsen, Fassbender and Tomorrow Denim will present their collections as finalists, with the winner announced during the AW22 edition.”
The in-person shows will take place in the official Zalando venue and the winner will be announced during AW22.
“As we continue to focus on the responsibility of our industry to incubate and strengthen the future of Nordic fashion, we are excited to welcome Jade Cropper as this season’s Talent and take the opportunity to introduce her exceptional vision to our international audience,” says Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO of Copenhagen Fashion Week.
The talent slot will go to Jade Cooper whose brand focuses on challenging female beauty with her deconstructed silhouettes as she focuses on sustainable materials and handmade prints. Copenhagen Fashion Week seeks to support young voices and Julie Gilhart CDO of Tomorrow Ltd and President to Tomorrow Projects will mentor with the mentorship program to Cropper.
“Winning the talent slot means the world to me. Getting recognition for all the work I have put into my designs is truly wonderful,” says Cropper. “You can expect a more mature line up than the previous one, but with the same DNA in the designs.”
