THE FASHION ZONE

The Fashion Zone was founded in September 2008 and is the first to come of four "experience zones" due to the initiative of the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority.

The main goal for The Fashion Zone is to give "Fashion Denmark" as a whole, a platform that strengthens the Fashion Industry in order to meet the global competition and in addition leads to the situation where Denmark has become the fifth international center of fashion.
Today the global fashion industry is to a great extent located in four cities: New York, Milan, Paris and London. These four cities have interdisciplinary networks for branches within the fashion industry, which has strengthened their position as fashion centers. A Fashion Zone, with the goal to unite a fragmented Danish fashion industry, brings Denmark a big step closer to becoming part of the international fashion elite.

Fundamentally the Fashion Zone plays the part of creating a greater value for the fashion companies in Denmark by putting in an effort where the companies are not able to perform the task. For instance by developing a perennial joint Fashion strategy, which strengthens the formation of clusters through knowledge and strategic networks and alliances, all across the industry, and in the field between educational institutions and the industry.

The Fashion Zone focus on the following areas:
  • Internationalization
  • New knowledge
  • Fostering talent, entrepreneurship and growth
  • Knowledge sharing, knowledge exchange and networks
  • Setting a visionary agenda
The Fashion Zone consists of a consortium of strong partners from the Danish Fashion industry:
