Amsterdam Fashion Week (AFW) and Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) have announced a new partnership, joining forces to accelerate the industry’s sustainability actions across the Nordic and Benelux fashion markets.

As part of the collaboration, AFW will roll out the Sustainability Requirements framework developed by CPHFW for their official show schedule. Kicking off with a one-year pilot phase to embed the Minimum Standards into their existing admission criteria, the full implementation will come into effect in September 2026. During upcoming Amsterdam Fashion Week, approximately 30 brands featured in the official show schedule will be measured against the Sustainability Framework Requirements.

Danie Bles, CEO of Amsterdam Fashion Week said: “At AFW, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Sustainability isn’t optional – it’s the future of fashion, and we’re shaping it today. With this in mind, we are incredibly proud to announce our partnership with CPHFW. By adhering to the Sustainability Requirements, we join forces with our fellow fashion weeks to support designers in making real, measurable progress in their sustainability efforts.”

Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO of Copenhagen Fashion Week added: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Amsterdam Fashion Week so shortly after joining forces with the British Fashion Council. With this new collaboration, we further establish the Sustainability Requirements within Europe and work even more closely on shared language and common objectives. This partnership not only fosters much-needed industry alignment but underpins the unique role fashion play in driving positive change within the industry.”

Since its launch, the Norwegian Fashion Hub, Oslo Runway, Berlin Fashion Week executed by Fashion Council Germany and the British Fashion Council have embarked on the implementation of the Sustainability Requirements framework.

Kodumaise disaini ja tippmoe armastajad ning toetajad saavad rõõmustada – sügisene Tallinn Fashion Week toob kodumaise moekunsti taas rahva ette, toimudes 22. – 24. oktoobril Kultuurikatlas. Tänasest on avalik ka moenädala programm.

“Tallinn Fashion Weeki programm näitab, nagu ikka, Eesti moe hetkeseisu – moelaval saab näha tuntud tegijaid ja uusi tulijaid, aga ka lisaks üllatusi välismaalt. Meil on hea meel selle üle, et vaatamata maailmas ja majanduses toimuvale keerulisele foonile on meie disainerid täis loomeindu ja valmis seda ka moesõpradega jagama,” ütleb Tallinn Fashion Weeki peakorraldaja Anu Kikas.

Sügisesel moenädalal kroonitakse traditsioonilisel Kuldnõela galal Eesti moedisaini ihaldatuima auhinnaga Kuldnõel viimasel viiel aastal silma paistnud moelooja ning Hõbenõelaga avaldatakse tunnustust viimase aasta jooksul tähelennu teinud disainerile. Kuldnõela on välja antud aastast 1996 – sellest on kujunenud Eesti kõige olulisem ja ihaldatum moeauhind.

Tänavused Kuldnõela nominendid on Cärol Ott, Katrin Kuldma ning Kirill Safonov. Hõbenõelale on nomineeritud Kristiina Jeromans, Auria Nurm ning Sandra Luks.

Sügisese Tallinn Fashion Weeki programmist leiab teiste seast ka sellised nimed nagu Kristina Viirpalu, Iris Janvier ja Karl-Christoph Rebane.

Two iconic Finnish design brands, Artek and Marimekko, collaborate on a new furniture collection, which is presented during 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen. The two brands house a conceptual exhibition at Marimekko’s Copenhagen flagship store at Pilestræde 29, taking place from 17 to 21 June 2025. 

The exhibition gives visitors to 3daysofdesign the first opportunity to experience the limited-edition Artek + Marimekko collection ahead of its launch in September. The collaboration is part of Artek’s 90th anniversary celebrations, during which the company is collaborating with like-minded creative partners to present a series of special edition collections.

The Artek + Marimekko collection features a selection of Aalto furniture that merges Marimekko’s art of printmaking with Artek’s technology of wood bending. The collection explores how bold recurring patterns, designed by Maija Isola for Marimekko’s architectural “Arkkitehti” series, are interpreted on Alvar Aalto’s birchwood furniture designs. Thematically, it celebrates what unites two iconic Finnish brands: bold and distinct identities that are shaped by architecture, nature, and human-centric pragmatism.

The exhibition at 3daysofdesign was designed together with Finnish designer Linda Bergroth. It showcases the products in a setting that highlights how Artek’s poetic simplicity complements Marimekko’s bold and joyful essence. The exhibition is open to the public throughout the design festival.

The Artek + Marimekko collection launches worldwide from 4 September 2025 onwards.
