Designers' Nest

Designers' Nest was created in 2003 as a professional and international platform for Nordic design graduates to show their talent.  The Scandinavian design students were given a chance to show their collection at CPH Vision fashion fair, taking place during Copenhagen Fashion Week. 

The first Designers’ Nest Award was presented in February 2005. Designers' Nest aims to expose and promote up-and-coming Scandinavian designers to global buyers, designers, media and trendsetters who visit the biannual fashion fair, thus consolidating and expanding Denmark's status as a fashion and design nation.

Designers' Nest has evolved to an internationally renowned platform for Scandinavian design talents and today, Designers' Nest Show and Award is an integral part of the international fashion trade fair VISION.
