Nikolaj Storm Copenhagen is the winner of Zalando’s Sustainability Award. In partnership with Copenhagen Fashion Week the online fashion platform has awarded the prize for the second time.
According to the jury, Nikolaj Storm Copenhagen’s collection displayed the brand’s ethos of creating more sustainable styles and its commitment to reducing its impact on the planet by working towards avoiding waste in a closed-loop process and by producing re-designs and items made with recycled materials. The variation of more sustainable materials displayed in the collection, as well as the fresh, modern approach to genderless and diverse fashion, set it apart from the competition, the judges say.
