Danish Fashion Institute is a network organisation created by and for the Danish Fashion industry to promote Danish fashion. Our purpose is to develop an extensive global network to support, market
and drive Danish fashion forward. Inaugurated on the 1st November 2005 at the new Opera House on Holmen overlooking Copenhagen, today there are over 110 members comprised of fashion companies,
independent designers, educational establishments and other relevant institutions.
One of our primary objectives is to achieve international recognition for Denmark's unique angle on aesthetics and design. Our goal is to encourage innovation, stimulate industry, and increase
opportunities for potential investors in Danish design talent. Our desire is to promote Denmark as a fashion forward country - a fashion brand in itself. In doing so, we hope to add Danish fashion
to Denmark's appeal as a country renown for design.
Danish Fashion Institute is committed to creating and cultivating a broad international network of businesses, organisations, media and key industry professionals to strengthen Denmark's position
in the global fashion arena. Our efforts are aimed at making Copenhagen the next international fashion destination.
In this regard, a key focus is Copenhagen Fashion Week, which has become Northern Europe's largest fashion event. The Danish Fashion Institute is the official company behind Copenhagen Fashion
Week, organising all the shows. Held twice a year, over 50,000 buyers, designers and press come to Copenhagen from around the globe for a preview of new talent.
We have a variety of other events, conferences, seminars and workshops in the pipeline. Our list of goals is long, including a Danish Fashion Award, Fashion Exhibitions and a Fashion Museum. And
our aspirations are high.
