Copenhagen Fashion Week is an international fashion event, held twice a year in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The first Copenhagen Fashion Week was held in 2006, the result of a merger of previous Danish clothing trade fairs, Dansk Modeuge and Dansk Herremodeuge, which date back to the 1950s.[1] Copenhagen Fashion Week is owned by the Danish Fashion Institute.[2]

In 2017, Copenhagen Fashion Week went through a strategic process with the participation of key stakeholders in the fashion industry.

In 2018, Copenhagen Fashion Week got new management which brought about a highly intensified focus on sustainability. Newly appointed CEO Cecilie Thorsmark (2018) established a sustainability advisory board of industry professionals and welcomed onboard a knowledge partner In Futurum to help shape the sustainable development of Copenhagen Fashion Week.
