Designers' nest show & award

Designers’ Nest Show & Award and CPH Vision are proud to present The Nordic Talent

Sprouts Cycle 18 this AW12.

Design by the heart
Our well-known love for new talent and Scandinavian design has brought us to the ninth year of Designers’ Nest – dedicated to recognising and promoting the vision of the latest design geniuses in Scandinavia.
Promising Scandinavian design students are given a great opportunity to showcase their collections to the press and potential buyers from all over the world. The show takes place on Friday 3 February 2012 at 3 pm in the timeless surroundings of Building 55, near CPH Vision Fashion Fair in Oeksnehallen.

The Jury

A distinguished committee of international and Danish judges will handpick the Designers’ Nest February 12 Winner. We hereby proudly present the AW 12 jury members: This legendary fashion reporter is the former Fashion Director of The Daily Telegraph, London. The much-loved fashion editor still contributes to The Daily Telegraph. Her solid experience of promoting the fashion industry to the world proves that pure talent and passion can move mountains. A true inspiration to all: HILARY ALEXANDER

She has “practically grown up at the magazine” – ‘the magazine’ being none other than Vogue Italia. With 18 years’ experience, she is now the Senior Editor of Vogue Italia and Vogue Talents. If anyone can spot talent, it is: SARA MAINO

Another Italian master is a member of the jury representing Sport & Street Collezioni - dear friends of CPH Vision and supporters of Designers’ Nest Show & Award through many seasons. Editor-in-chief of Sport & Street Collezioni: ALESSIA VIGNALI

He started out as a blossoming talent himself, and in 2011 he celebrated his tenth anniversary. In the past decade, he has established his brand internationally, dressed celebrities and on several occasions been honoured for his unique vision and achievements. This designer clearly knows the secret behind success: PETER JENSEN

With an international track record in the fashion and luxury industries, he has the ability to take designs to a higher business level. UK magazine The Face named him 10th most influential person in the fashion industry. He is former Chairman of the Danish Fashion Institute and now Creative Director of Mindsetters: TOM STEIFEL-KRISTENSEN
