Designers' Nest is an integral part of CPH Vision - Denmark's most visited fashion fairs. Established in 1998 by Jan Busch Carlsen, CPH Vision aims to provide chiefly Danish and Nordic designers access to international buyers and press.

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 at the fashion fair to Nordic design schools;

Københavns Erhvervsakademi, Copenhagen, Danmarks Designskole, Copenhagen; Designskolen, Kolding; TEKO, Herning; Beckmans Designskole, Stockholm; Swedish School of Textiles, Borås; University of Art and Design, Helsinki; and Iceland Academy of the Arts.

Three 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.
