Designers from each of the five Nordic countries made sure to put under the spot light once and for all the need for fashion with a sustainable profile. The display is the result of a design competition organized by NICE (Nordic Initiative Clean & Ethical), and was first presented during the Fashion Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009.

At this year's OFW opening, we were able to see a selection of their fabulous creations in an eclectic mix. Shop till you drop in their premises in Verkstedhallen, 3 floor.

SEASON DEBUTANT
Veronica B. Vallenes' collection finds a balance between being a raw, cool, edgy, feminine and elegant. The extravagance and simplicity go hand in hand, in addition to focising on the silhouette. Vallenes have experienced a lot of attention from the Danish fashion markets and also from other foreign media over the past year; and is currently on track to establish their brand.

The magazine HENNE's awards was as usual a great highlight during the night; and this year's expectations were very high. More established designers were nominated, and one of them - Fam Irvoll also received a scholarship from Innovation Norway, among other things, to have the ability to stand out in the crowd and to be original. The winners of Nåløyet 2010 was designer-duo Mardou & Dean who, among other things won because of its potential to make it big in the international market. Congratulations!
