Copenhagen Fashion Week is to return physically for SS22 in August. The organiser of the runway event, plus the trade fairs Revolver and CIFF, and industry organisations Danish Fashion & Textile and WEAR, said it will take place from August 10-13 with tradeshows, showcases, activations, installations and talks planned for the four days.

The official runway show schedule will cover August 10-12 with CIFF taking place in the Bella Center from August 11-13. The Revolver fair will run at the same time as CIFF, but in Forum and Øksnehallen.

The organisers said there will be strict compliance with any rules and recommendations aimed at keeping exhibitors and visitors Covid-safe.

But regardless of any restrictions this might mean, it’s an important move back towards some sort of normality for one of Europe’s major fashion weeks.

Copenhagen Fashion Week hasn’t happened in ‘normal’ circumstances since early last year with subsequent events being either hybrid or fully digital.

The news about the return to physical events follows other key trade shows and fashion weeks announcing their comebacks, which could also mean a revival of the street style frenzy that used to accompany major fashion weeks. 

In late April, the organiser of Scoop and Pure announced the London shows would happen as a combined event in September. And only this week, France’s Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode said July’s couture week would see designers being able to stage shows in front of live audiences.
