The world’s largest and the most important conference on sustainable fashion Copenhagen Fashion Summit will take place on May 12, 2016, in Denmark. The first Copenhagen Fashion Summit was held in 2009. The summit has grown in size and importance. The global fashion industry recognises the conference as the key forum for discussing where the fashion industry is headed in an era facing enormous environmental, climate and social challenges.

The event is an opportunity to hear multiple insights about the concrete, measurable ways fashion is grappling with sustainability. International key players from the fashion industry, as well as experts, NGOs, opinion makers, media and politicians will take part in a discussion on the evolution of a successful fashion industry in a world where new business models are required to tackle the growing sustainability challenges facing the planet and our societies.

The event hopes to be a catalyst for change. Players will share their knowledge and ideas on new and sustainable solutions. The aim is to inspire, motivate and give tools to implement a sustainable mindset and create a bright future for the fashion industry. American fashion writer, editor and New York Times best-selling author Derek Blasberg will host the summit.
