Copenhagen Fashion Week is without a doubt Scandinavia's biggest fashion event of the year. Copenhagen Fashion Week is so big, in fact, that it takes place not once but twice a year - in February and August.

The Copenhagen Fashion Week features upcoming fashion collections and more than 1,000 exhibitors represent thousands of international fashion brands at the three trade fairs accompanying Copenhagen Fashion Week. Organized by the Danish Fashion Institute, the main focus at the Copenhagen Fashion Week is fresh, modern designs and looks.

Over 50,000 visit the Copenhagen Fashion Week in Denmark's capital Copenhagen each February and August. There are even fashion shows at Copenhagen's Town Hall during the week for buyers and the press.

While the Copenhagen Fashion Week is aimed at businesses (with upcoming event info here), you can see the popular fashion shows on big screens on Copenhagen's city squares, and the nightlife during Copenhagen Fashion Week is bustling as well with special events ...and everyone's invited at those.
