DANSK Fashion Awards
To give Danish fashion all the attention it deserves, DANSK Magazine instigated
DANSK Fashion Awards in 2008. The award promotes and celebrates the flourishing
Danish fashion industry in no less than 15 different categories at a spectacular award
ceremony at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.
Designers’ Nest
Designers’ Nest is an integral part of CPH Vision.
Designers’ Nest was created in 2003 as a professional and international platform for
Nordic design graduates to show their talents. CPH Vision has made available a
building for seven Nordic design schools: Danmarks Designskole, Copenhagen;
Designskolen, Kolding; TEKO, Herning; Beckman’s Designskole, Stockholm;
Swedish School of Textiles, Borås; University of Art and Design, Helsinki; and
Iceland Academy of the Arts.
Five graduate students from each school are selected to exhibit and present their
exam project. Designers’ Nest aims to expose and promote up-and-coming Nordic
designers to the global buyers, designers, press, and trendsetters who visit the
biannual fashion fair, thus consolidating and expanding Denmark’s status as a
fashion and design nation.
The Designers’ Nest Award
The Designers’ Nest Award was awarded for the first time in February 2005.
Created in order to select a particularly skilled and promising design student, this
accolade from the established world of fashion and design comprises an award
created by a Danish designer and a cash prize of DKK 50,000. The cash prize is
intended to allow the winner to further hone and promote his or her talent for design.
