Copenhagen Fashion Week is set to make a grand comeback with an eagerly anticipated physical event scheduled to take place from August 10-13, 2022. Not only will the fashion extravaganza feature runway shows, but it will also include prominent trade fairs Revolver and CIFF, along with the participation of industry organizations Danish Fashion & Textile and WEAR. This four-day event will be brimming with tradeshows, showcases, activations, installations, and enlightening talks.
The official runway show schedule has been finalized for August 10-12, while CIFF will take place at the Bella Center from August 11-13. Simultaneously, the Revolver fair will be held in Forum and Øksnehallen. Ensuring the safety of participants, the organizers have emphasized adherence to strict Covid safety rules and recommendations for both exhibitors and visitors.
This physical return of Copenhagen Fashion Week signifies a significant milestone towards returning to normalcy. The fashion event has not been held under normal circumstances since early last year, with previous events being either hybrid or fully digital. The announcement of physical events making a comeback follows the footsteps of other influential trade shows and fashion weeks that have also announced their return, potentially bringing back the street style frenzy that used to accompany major fashion weeks.
In late April, the organizer of Scoop and Pure in London revealed that the shows would merge into a single event in September. Moreover, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode in France recently confirmed that designers will be able to present their shows in front of live audiences during July’s couture week.
As the fashion industry gradually recovers from the devastating impact of the pandemic, the return of physical events brings a sense of hope and optimism. Fashion weeks and trade shows provide invaluable opportunities for designers, brands, and industry professionals to showcase their work, connect with buyers and enthusiasts, and stimulate the fashion economy.
With Copenhagen Fashion Week joining the ranks of events returning to in-person formats, the entire fashion industry is gearing up for a long-awaited return to live experiences. This shift towards physical events not only symbolizes progress but also reinforces the significance of traditional fashion gatherings in fostering creativity, collaboration, and self-expression.
As fashion weeks and trade shows make a comeback, there is a growing anticipation within the fashion community to once again come together, celebrate talent, embrace trends, and revel in the excitement that live events bring. Copenhagen Fashion Week’s physical return in August promises to be a pivotal moment for the industry, offering a glimpse into a future where fashion events thrive and inspire.
