After the keynote speakers, the curators of NFB, Cooper & Gorfer, will be introducing the concept of this year’s Biennale, followed by a panel discussion between the trend analysts and the participants of the NFB, discussing the possibilities putting West Nordic heritage in a global context.

Nordic Fashion Biennale 2014 marks the third-edition of the event, with the exhibition titled The Weather Diaries, uniting the works of many of the most talented fashion designers from the Nordic region.

Nordic Fashion Biennale is a dynamic platform to promote fashion and design in the Nordic region. It is an arena that brings together designers, artists, academics, business entrepreneurs and specialists in the field of fashion.
