Organizational Structure
Copenhagen Fashion Week is a non-profit organization with a unique funding model:
- 15% public funding
- 85% commercial partnerships
- Main contributor is the Danish Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs[2]
Sustainability Focus
A key distinguishing feature of CPHFW is its strong commitment to sustainability. In 2018, CEO Cecilie Thorsmark established an advisory board to organize sustainability practices. The event now requires participating brands to:
