Copenhagen has secured its place as fashion's 'fifth city', after years of perseverance by its founders and industry leaders. This accomplishment comes as no surprise to those who have witnessed the growth of Denmark's fashion industry since its inception 20 years ago.

From humble beginnings, Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) has evolved into a major event on the global calendar, attracting A-list talent from top designers such as Cecilie Bahnsen and Ganni. The showcase has not only boosted Danish brands but also set a new standard for sustainability in the fashion industry.

The brainchild of Eva Kruse, CPHFW's founder, who was initially met with skepticism by many, has proven that even the most radical ideas can take shape. Today, the event is a catalyst for change, inspiring other cities to follow suit and adopt similar measures to reduce their environmental footprint.

One of Denmark's biggest success stories is Ganni, which rose from a small brand to become an international sensation, with its designs now adorning the runways of Paris Fashion Week. The brand credits CPHFW with its growth, stating that showing biannually in Copenhagen was instrumental in securing its place on the global stage.

CPHFW has also become a hub for supporting new talent and providing patronage to emerging Nordic brands. Its impact extends beyond Denmark's borders, as international buyers, influencers, and editors flock to the city to experience the latest fashion trends.

This year marks a milestone anniversary for CPHFW, with several homegrown brands returning to the schedule after presenting elsewhere. Holzweiler, which recently showed in London, will be one of the first brands to take part in this new initiative.

As CPHFW continues to grow and evolve, its leaders remain committed to nurturing Danish talent and providing a platform for sustainable fashion practices. The success of Copenhagen Fashion Week serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and innovative thinking in the ever-changing world of fashion.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving how Copenhagen has finally gotten the recognition it deserves! 20 years ago, who would've thought that CPHFW would be a major player on the global fashion scene? 🤯 The way they're pushing for sustainability is also super inspiring - it's about time we saw some real change in the industry. Ganni's rise to fame is no coincidence - showing in Copenhagen must've been a total game-changer for them. 🚀 I'm excited to see more new talent and emerging brands taking part in CPHFW, it's gonna be awesome to see what they come up with! 💃 The fact that international buyers are flocking to Denmark is a testament to the city's growing influence - Copenhagen's fashion week is no longer just a niche event, it's a full-on movement 🌟
 
Ugh, I'm so over this forum's layout... 😩 Can't they just make it more user-friendly? Anyway, back to CPHFW... 🤷‍♀️ I mean, it's cool that Copenhagen has become a hub for sustainable fashion, but let's be real, it's about time other cities caught on. The growth of the industry is great and all, but I'm still waiting for my name to be featured in those coveted fashion mags... 💁‍♀️ And what's with the lack of transparency? How much money are they really making from hosting these events? 🤑 Shouldn't that info be available to us users? 💔
 
🤩 I'm not surprised that Copenhagen's got this fashion thing on lock! 😎 They've been grinding for years, and it shows in how amazing their Fashion Week is. I mean, who wouldn't want to show off their sick designs on the global stage? 💁‍♀️ It's awesome that they're making sustainability a priority too - we need more of that in the fashion world! 🌎 I love how CPHFW is giving new talent a chance to shine and helping small brands get noticed. It's gonna be so cool to see what Holzweiler brings to the table this year! 💥
 
🤔 I don't get why Copenhagen needed to become "fifth city" of fashion... like what's wrong with being just another city? 🙃 But I guess it's cool that they're able to support new designers and brands now. It sounds like CPHFW has been a game changer for them, especially with all the focus on sustainability. 💚 I mean, who doesn't want to reduce their environmental footprint, right? 🌎 And it's awesome that Ganni is killing it in Paris Fashion Week! 👗
 
😏 I'm not buying it, you know? There's gotta be more to this whole "Copenhagen becoming the fifth city of fashion" thing than meets the eye. Like, what's really going on behind closed doors? 🤐 Have they been getting some kinda special deal from the EU or something? And that Eva Kruse chick, she sounds like a total puppet to me. I mean, her whole idea for CPHFW seems kinda suspiciously convenient... 👀
 
I'm loving how Copenhagen has become a major player in the fashion world! 🙌 The way they've incorporated sustainability into their event is so inspiring, it's amazing how far they've come since Eva Kruse first started CPHFW 20 years ago. I mean, from being met with skepticism to now being a global standard, that's some serious growth 🚀. And it's not just the big brands like Ganni that are thriving, there's so much new talent emerging from the Nordic scene, it's exciting to see! 💡

And let's give a shoutout to Eva Kruse, the OG founder of CPHFW 🙌, she's been pushing boundaries and proving doubters wrong all along 💯. The way they've created this whole ecosystem for emerging Nordic brands is like, totally inspiring 🤩. I'm low-key hoping other cities take note and follow suit 😎. Ganni's story is everything - from small-time brand to global sensation 🌟, it just goes to show that hard work and a solid vision can take you places ✈️. Can't wait to see what the future holds for CPHFW! 💥
 
I mean, I'm not surprised that Copenhagen is now considered one of the top fashion cities 🤔.

I love how CPHFW has become a hub for new talent and supporting emerging brands - it's like a platform for people to showcase their skills and get noticed 🎉. The success of Copenhagen Fashion Week is definitely inspiring, and I think other cities can learn from their approach 😊.
 
CPHFW is killing it 💼👗, sustainability is the real MVP 🌱💚, and Eva Kruse is a genius for keeping it radical 🔥. Small brands getting big love is amazing too 😊, Holzweiler's back in the game and I'm hyped! 👍
 
I mean, it's about time Copenhagen gets some recognition 🤩! I remember when CPHFW first started out and people were like "is this just another small fashion week?" But Eva Kruse and the team didn't give up and now look at them 💪! It's so cool that they've become a hub for sustainable fashion practices too. I'm loving how Ganni has risen to fame, it's great to see Danish brands killing the game 💃. The fact that CPHFW is supporting new talent and giving emerging brands a platform is just amazing 🙌. We should be celebrating more initiatives like this in our own cities!
 
man, it's crazy how far Copenhagen's come, right? from being this small thing to a major player in the fashion world 🤩, it's insane. i mean, who would've thought that Eva Kruse's idea of CPHFW would actually take off like this? 😎 and yeah, it's awesome to see Danish brands killing it on the global stage, especially Ganni 💼... they're literally proof that even the smallest brands can make a big impact with the right support 🤝. and it's not just about the fashion itself, but also about the sustainability aspect - Copenhagen's always been ahead of the curve when it comes to eco-friendly practices 🌱. anyway, it'll be interesting to see what this new initiative brings... maybe we'll get to see even more talented brands getting their start in CPHFW 💥
 
I mean, I think it's kinda cool that Copenhagen has finally gotten the recognition they deserved as a major fashion hub 🤩. I've always thought that Eva Kruse was ahead of her time with CPHFW, but now she can say "I told you so" 😊. And Ganni's rise to fame is no surprise, their designs are always on point 👗. What I love most about this whole thing is how Copenhagen Fashion Week has become a driving force for sustainability in the fashion industry 🌱. It's not just about showcasing beautiful clothes, it's about creating change and inspiring other cities to do the same 💡. And let's be real, it's not like anyone saw this coming 20 years ago when Eva first started pushing for CPHFW... she was basically a genius 🤓
 
OMG, I'm not surprised at all that Copenhagen has become the new 'fifth city' for fashion 🤩! It's been building up steam over the years and now it's officially on the map 💃. I mean, who would have thought that a small brand like Ganni would go from humble beginnings to becoming an international sensation? 🙌 The sustainability aspect is also super inspiring - it's about time we focus more on reducing waste in the fashion industry 👗. And yay for supporting new talent and emerging brands! It's so cool to see Holzweiler joining the crew 🤝. Now I'm even more excited to check out CPHFW this year 🎉, can't wait to see what's new and trending on the runway 💃💅!
 
I'm not surprised they're calling Copenhagen the "fifth city" for fashion... it's been obvious for ages that this small country is a hotbed for design talent 🤷‍♀️. I mean, who wouldn't want to showcase their stuff on the same runway as Ganni and Cecilie Bahnsen? It's not like they've been hiding under a rock or anything 😂. And don't even get me started on the so-called "sustainability" aspect... it's all just marketing hype if you ask me 🤑. Still, I suppose it's better than nothing. CPHFW has definitely put Denmark on the map, and now they can start reaping the benefits (if they haven't already, that is). It'll be interesting to see how long this whole "fashion capital" thing lasts... until they get bored with being the cool kid on the block, maybe 🤔.
 
I gotta say, it's pretty cool that Copenhagen has become a major player in the fashion world 🤩. I mean, who would've thought that this small city would be on par with Paris and Milan? The fact that CPHFW has been able to attract top designers like Cecilie Bahnsen and Ganni is just amazing. And it's not just about the big names, either - the event's focus on sustainability is really paving the way for a more environmentally-friendly fashion industry 🌎.

It's also awesome to see how CPHFW has supported new talent and Nordic brands, giving them a platform to showcase their designs and get noticed by buyers and influencers. And it's great to hear that Ganni credits CPHFW with its growth - that's proof that the event is doing something right 💯.

I'm curious to see how other cities will follow suit and try to replicate Copenhagen's success 🤔. One thing's for sure, though: the fashion world just got a whole lot more interesting 😎.
 
omg i'm so not surprised about CPHFW's success 💁‍♀️👗 it's been happening for ages! but seriously, Copenhagen is like the ultimate hub for sustainable fashion now 🌿💚 Eva Kruse was ahead of her time with that whole idea and I love how it's inspired other cities to get on board too 🤝

ganni is literally one of my fave brands right now 👗👠 and i'm so glad they gave credit to CPHFW for helping them go global 🌎 the fact that they're now showing in Paris too is just a win win 💁‍♀️💕
 
I'm loving how Copenhagen is taking over the fashion world 🌟! I mean, who wouldn't want to be known as the 'fifth city' of fashion? It's been years in the making, but it's amazing to see how far they've come. And I gotta say, sustainability is a major win for me - we need more brands like Ganni showing that eco-friendly fashion can be both stylish and accessible 💚. I'm so stoked to see new talent being discovered through CPHFW and the fact that international buyers are flocking to Copenhagen to check out the latest trends is just a bonus 🤩! The city's got style and substance, and I think we're all benefiting from it 😎
