Cphfw NewTalent supported by Circulose® is established by Copenhagen Fashion Week to nurture, develop, and promote emerging Nordic talent on a global scale. The scheme creates new opportunities for three to four emerging designers per season via monetary support, mentorships, partnership offerings, professional advisors, onboarding to the official Copenhagen Fashion Week show schedule, event participation, showroom activations, alumni network, and extensive pr through Copenhagen Fashion Week’s international community and channels.

Cphfw NewTalent brands will be supported for three consecutive seasons within the Cphfw NewTalent scheme. Subsequently each designer will graduate on to the alumni scheme, that will continue supporting the graduates of the Cphfw NewTalent scheme across showcasing, events, networking, business support, communication, and sponsorship opportunities.

"We are proud to introduce Cphfw NewTalent as a formalised structure to how Copenhagen Fashion Week is investing in the next generation of exceptional talent," said Cecilie Thorsmark, ceo Copenhagen Fashion Week. "With responsibility an overarching and foundational focus of our organisation, this scheme will allow us to continue to grow our dedication to talent. It is a vital step we have taken to provide an encompassing program for the talents to build their brand on an international scale and to introduce them to our global audience.”

“I am honored to serve as a Copenhagen Fashion Week Mentor for another year and be given the opportunity to help discover the next generation of talent," commented Julie Gilhart, Cdo & President Tomorrow Ltd. & Tomorrow Projects, and one of the mentors of Cphfw NewTalent. "I am continually inspired and propelled by the search and have always believed that the best talent has yet to be discovered.
