Copenhagen Fashion Week Confirms Dates for Next Three Years and Unveils AW24 Show Committee Members


Upcoming dates released, AW24 Show Committee announced, CPHFW in Vogue Business' size-inclusivity report

Published on October 12, 2023

Copenhagen Fashion Week has unveiled its show committee members for the upcoming AW24 edition and has released the dates for the next three years in collaboration with Dansk Mode & Textil, CIFFxRevolver and WEAR. Notably, Vogue Business recognized CPHFW for its size-inclusivity efforts in the Vogue Business SS24 size-inclusivity report.

Dates confirmed for Copenhagen Fashion Week

Copenhagen Fashion Week, Dansk Mode & Textil, CIFFxRevolver and WEAR have joined forces in a collaborative effort to secure the dates for the next three years of Copenhagen Fashion Week. This collaboration between organizations emphasizes the significance of unity within the fashion industry, highlighting the shared commitment to ensure the continued success of Copenhagen Fashion Week. Together, all parties have agreed that Copenhagen Fashion Week will continue to take place in its usual weeks in January/February and August.

“We clearly see that these brands do not want a move, as it will be associated with major logistical and practical challenges, as well as a potential loss of momentum in relation to the international fashion weeks with which we are gradually juxtaposed, and which all take place later in the season – namely in September immediately after Copenhagen Fashion Week. We have to listen to that if Danish fashion is to continue to assert itself beyond the country’s borders.” – Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO, Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Copenhagen Fashion Week is pleased to announce the show committee members for the upcoming AW24 edition, with a keen focus on directional leaders both international and in the Nordics.

The Vogue Business SS24 size-inclusivity report

For the SS24 edition of the fashion month, Vogue Business analyzed all shows and presentations on Vogue Runway for the womenswear season to determine the level of size-inclusive representation. According to their findings, Copenhagen Fashion Week has been the most inclusive of all the fashion weeks.

Vogue Business calculated that at CPHFW, out of 503 looks across the 18 CPHFW shows on Vogue Runway, 1.4 percent were plus-size looks, 15.3 percent were mid-size, and 83.3 percent were straight-size. This level of inclusivity is considerably higher than any other city.

“It’s something our brands have been aware of – and actively working with – for many years now and we’ve definitely seen a remarkable improvement over the years. Of course, one can always do better, but we’ve come a long way this last decade. Today, as part of Copenhagen Fashion Week’s Minimum Standards, which came into effect earlier this year, it’s a requirement to be a signatory of the Danish Ethical Fashion Charter and to comply with its rules and values. We do backstage checks to monitor this and we also advise brands whom we see might need an extra push.” – Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO, Copenhagen Fashion Week.
