The Nordic fashion capital's biannual runway week and a global reference point for sustainability, with binding environmental standards required of every participating brand. The SS27 edition, Aug 3 - 7, 2026, marks the event's 20th anniversary with 36 shows including returning names like Stine Goya and a guest slot for New York's Collina Strada. A growing public program makes it more accessible than the big-four weeks.

How to attend

Runway shows are trade and press invite-only, but a public-facing program of open shows, talks and pop-ups plus the parallel CIFF trade fair is accessible - check the official schedule at copenhagenfashionweek.com in the weeks before. The street-style scene outside venues is free and famously good.

Runway shows admit buyers, press and industry by accreditation or invitation only, applications are currently closed, and there is no ticket a member of the public can buy.

Insider tip

Station yourself outside the show venues listed on the official schedule - Copenhagen's street-style scene is arguably the best free fashion show in Europe.
