Ganni Announces support of NEWTALENT programme in partnership with Copenhagen Fashion Week
Copenhagen-based advanced contemporary brand Ganni has announced a new partnership with Copenhagen Fashion Week, aiming to elevate and support rising talent within the Copenhagen fashion scene through the CPHFW NEWTALENT platform. Ganni has consistently been a part of the Copenhagen Fashion Week schedule since its first show in August 2014, marking 10 years of shows for the brand. This February, Ganni will take a pause from the show schedule, redirecting its efforts towards supporting emerging talent. In addition to CPHFW NEWTALENT, Ganni will also be activating brand projects across Asia and the US to further support the brand’s growing business in those regions.
“We are excited for this season, and the opportunity to continue to nurture emerging talent. In recent years, we have collaborated with rising stars like Priya Ahluwalia, Ester Manas, and Kim Nguyen, as well as Nicklas Skovgaard from Copenhagen. Supporting the talent incubator of Copenhagen Fashion Week feels like a natural next step for us. Taking a season off the show schedule also allows us to reconsider the vision for our shows and prioritize local key brand projects across Asia and the US, while we look forward to show seasons to come.”
– Andrea Baldo, CEO, Ganni
“We are thrilled that Ganni will be supporting CPHFW NEWTALENT supported by CIRCULOSE® this season, signalling their aligned values towards spotlighting and uplifting the next generation of creatives from the Nordics. Of course, the Ganni show will be dearly missed this season, but they will continue their presence in various activations for the February edition, not least with an exciting project planned with CPHFW NEWTALENT supported by CIRCULOSE®. We very much look forward to continuing our close collaboration with them in seasons to come.”
– Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO, Copenhagen Fashion Week

Background on the Minimum Standards
The Minimum Standards are a part of the Sustainability Requirements framework which was developed in conjunction with CPHFW’s 2020-2022 Sustainability Action Plan. The Minimum Standards are mandatory for brands to comply with from the AW23 edition and onwards.
The Minimum Standards are not a new industry audit or certification but a screening framework developed by CPHFW. The screening, executed by the CPHFW Sustainability Committee which is led by Rambøll and supported by Dansk Fashion & Textile and In futurum, ensures that the brands showcasing at the CPHFW AW24 edition are taking action on six focus areas: Strategic Direction, Design, Smart Material Choices, Working Conditions, Consumer Engagement and Show.
Acknowledging the actions laid out by the Minimum Standards requires a developed sustainability strategy and extensive preparation: as such CPHFW welcomes newcomers and talents part of CPHFW NEWTALENT supported by CIRCULOSE® and does not require them to live up to the Minimum Standards until after one year. Nevertheless, these brands do commit to work on the implementation of the Minimum Standards, to go through an onboarding process and can partake in the CPHFW Minimum Standard Accelerator Programme. The Accelerator Programme is supported by the consultancies In futurum, Sourcing House, Transition and Tekstilrevolutionen who lay out an individual action plan on how to reach the Minimum Standards providing hands-on guidance to the brands.
