WELCOME
Dear Fashion Summit guest
On behalf of the Nordic Fashion Association and our
partners, we are delighted to welcome you to this
spectacular event for the global fashion industry – the
Fashion Summit 2009.
This Fashion Summit, the fashion industries in Denmark,
Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland are jumpstarting a
big, new initiative. Nordic Initiative Clean and Ethical, or
NICE for short, is an educational project, process and
networking platform for the fashion industry, with the
main purpose of motivating and assisting companies in
integrating sustainability and social responsibility in their
business processes and practices.
We will begin this initiative by catalyzing a discussion on
the evolution of the fashion industry in a world where
new business models are required to tackle the growing
sustainability challenges facing the planet and our
societies.
Today, we will listen to a variety of interesting perspectives
on what a sustainable fashion industry will look like,
and what it will take to get us there. These are the key
questions to be addressed today as well as within the
NICE projects of the future.
Our approach to assisting fashion and clothing companies
in making their business practices sustainable and
socially responsible is based on knowledge sharing. We
provide a networking platform where knowledge on social
responsibility and sustainability can be obtained and
shared, with access to the experts whose know-how can
help improve business practices. We spend our time and
resources on this because we believe that assisting the
fashion industry in its quest for sustainable and socially
responsible fashion is the only right thing to do.
The journey of NICE began in March 2008, when Danish
Fashion Institute, Swedish Fashion Council, Helsinki
Design Week, Oslo Fashion Week and Icelandic Fashion
Council decided to join forces and establish Nordic
Fashion Association. There are good reasons for such
a Nordic collaboration. We share a vision of becoming
a global forerunner on sustainability and ensuring a
more environmentally friendly and socially responsible
production of fashion. Furthermore, the Nordic countries
also share a tradition of high social and environmental
standards nationally, as well as a general concern for the
rest of the world and its well-being. By teaming up, the
five countries can pool knowledge and actions to gain
critical mass and make a difference in terms of influencing
the way the fashion industry is moving globally.
We hope this Fashion Summit day here at the
Copenhagen Opera House will be exciting, enlightening
and enjoyable.
Yours sincerely, on behalf of the Nordic Fashion
Association,
Eva Kruse

positions. Her home base was Dallas, Texas until she
moved to New York in 1990. She has spent most of her
career involved in some aspect of the fashion industry.
In the spring of 2007, she spearheaded the development
of an all-organic collection of casual, sexy clothes that are
available in every Barneys New York store in the country.
She has inspired many designers to develop sustainable
products and was instrumental in the creation of Barneys’
2007 holiday campaign ”Have A Green Holiday,” which
focused on fashion products that were environmentally
conscious. Also included were windows, in-store displays,
a holiday catalogue and a website tie-in.
Julie is involved with many aspects of the business
at Barneys. As Barneys opens more stores, her most
important task is to have the store speak to the customers
in a way that educates them, as well as to educate the
many designers Barneys partners with in a new and
more thoughtful way. She believes there is an essential
need to create more awareness of how to approach
the development of sustainable products and how the
customer makes decisions in buying. All this falls under
the umbrella of trying to create a new paradigm of how the
fashion business operates so as to leave a lighter footprint
on the earth and create more conscious consumerism.

DESIGN COMPETITION
In order to promote and raise awareness of sustainable
textiles and the endless possibilities of sustainable fashion,
we have asked 20 new generation designers from the
Nordic countries to take part in a design competition. Four
designers from each Nordic country are participating, and
have been asked to design two outfits each.
The purpose of the competition is to showcase new
innovative materials that pollute and affect the climate to
a lesser degree than traditional materials. The competition
has an overall educational focus on awakening fashion
companies into taking on a more responsible approach,
and also on inspiring new innovation in materials and
usage.
The designers have been asked to choose four or five
different sustainable textiles, including such textiles as
Ingeo and milk fibre. Besides the textiles made available
by our collaborator CLASS, the designers have been
allowed to incorporate cut-offs, leftovers, recycled textiles
and vintage pieces if they wished to do so. They have also
been asked to produce a portfolio with illustrations of the
outfits as well as documentation of the design process
and materials used. The portfolios accompany the outfits
for judging.
20 | 21
The result of the design competition can be seen on the
Fashion Summit runway show. An expert panel of judges
has been asked to judge the competition and choose
one winner; Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary of
Denmark will announce the winner of the competition.
Our collaborative partner CLASS has sponsored the
sustainable textiles used in the design competition, and
Aveda’s professional hair and makeup team has delivered
hair and makeup for the show.
The winning prize is kindly sponsored by H&M, as are the
accessories used in the show.

HOW TO
BE
NICE
EXHIBITION
On the lower level of the Opera House – right by the
entrance – you will find an exhibition for you to explore
during the breaks.
The exhibition showcases sustainable textiles and
processes, including organic, recycled and renewable
textiles and bioinnovative solutions.
The purpose of the exhibition is to create awareness about
innovative textiles and highlight alternatives to traditional
textiles and processes. It will give you an opportunity to
learn, see and feel the alternatives.
The exhibition is built around four exhibition ’islands’. On
these islands you can explore, see, touch and feel textiles
and solutions that mark the future of sustainable fashion.
The exhibition material is provided by CLASS and
Novozymes and curated by Uffe Buchard, Creative
Director at Style Counsel.
Bioinnovation is at the core of Novozymes’ business, and
is on display on one of the islands. It is the driver behind
their part of this exhibition, which tells the story of how,
by using enzymes, you can contribute to a sustainable
fashion industry from both ends of the textile value chain.
Novozymes introduces their two most recent contributions
to the fashion world: ”Elemental textiles” and ”I do 30”.
The two initiatives work at separate ends of the fashion
value chain. While ”Elemental textiles” focuses on the
wet processing phase of producing fabric, ”I do 30”
encourages consumers to turn down the temperature to
30 °C when doing laundry.
40 | 41
The innovative world of CLASS will be interpreted through
three symbolic textile installations on the exhibition’s
remaining three islands, each with a display of nine key
fabrics that represent the lifestyle definitions of ecosustainability from the CLASS eco-network: the Natural
& Organics island, the Repurposed & Recycled island
and the Innovative Renewables island. Together, these
materials demonstrate a meaningful expression of the
unique synergy between creativity, innovation and the
environment that all combine to make beautiful, highly
innovative and sometimes high performance fabrics
designed for today’s fashion, combined with that extra
dimension and value that has become so essential in
recent years – responsibility.
The exhibition can also be viewed at Hopenhagen Live at
the City Hall Square on December 10.
We hope you enjoy the exhibition.
Exhibition
BIO-INNOVATION
Bio-innovation
The bio-innovation island illustrates processes within
biotechnology and enzymes, and how innovative biological
solutions contribute to sustaining the environment.
Bio-innovation can substitute polluting methods in the
fashion and clothing industry, at both the production and
consumer level.
Substituting polluting methods with enzymatic ones in
production, Novozymes delivers solutions for different
stages of treating textiles, such as bioscouring, bioblasting,
and biosoaping. Employing the best technology available
to create more sustainable fashion items helps protect the
four elements:
On the consumer level, enzymes in detergents enable
consumers to wash at lower degrees whilst still getting
clean clothes. The ”I do 30” campaign exhibited is
launched to encourage consumers to turn down the
temperature to 30 °C when washing clothes with lowtemperature detergent. This allows for clean clothes while
decreasing CO2 emissions. When it comes to reducing
the environmental impact of doing laundry, the solution
lies with consumers, who have the greatest potential for
reducing CO2 simply by turning down the temperature on
their washing machines.
Water
Elemental textiles save water and make waste water more
environmentally friendly.
Air
Elemental textiles protect the air from CO2 emissions and
other health-damaging particles.
Fire
Elemental textiles reduce energy consumption and the use
of fossil fuels.
Earth
Elemental textiles produce more fabrics from crops and in
that way leave more land untouched.

Exhibition
NATURAL & ORGANICS | REPURPOSED & RECYCLED
Natural & Organics
The Natural and Organics island includes textiles made
from wool, silk, cashmere, cotton, linen and hemp. On the
island you will find examples of this category, including:
Soft-grained vegetal tanned leathers
This new range of natural leathers has been processed
using vegetable extracts instead of the commonly used
heavy metal-based tanning materials, which are cause for
some environmental concerns.
Organic cotton
Organic cotton is picked from land cultivated according
to the system of biological farming, without any GM
seeds, chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or
defoliants. These substances are normally used in
conventional cotton growing, causing great pressure on
both the environment and population. By growing cotton
organically, the fertility of the soil is guaranteed long-term,
and water sources are better preserved.
Organic worsted wool
This organic wool is certified and guaranteed for each
batch in accordance with strict legislative standards of
its country of origin. Furthermore, the use of pesticides,
chemical additives and substances that are harmful
to individual and animal health is not permitted The
transformation of the raw material into finished yarn is
performed by means of bio-process systems that are
free of chlorine and its derivatives. The dyeing process
respects the rules of the Oeko-Tex standards. Similarly,
the finishing phase is executed in full respect of the
environment.
Repurposed & Recycled
This island showcases textile products that have been
given a second life, helping to reduce the production
or manufacturing carbon footprint, or helping to reduce
costs, alleviate pressured raw material resources and also
address issues of disposal, waste and recovery. On this
island you will find examples of this category, including:
Recycled polyester
This polyester is made from recycled water bottles
collected after use and given a second life as a new pile
fabric.
Recycled cotton and denim
The yarns used for this fabric have been recovered from
textile waste and trimmings, recycled first back to fibre
and then spun into a new product that reduces overall
consumption and pressure on virgin fibre resources.
Regenerated wool
Some of these products carry a certification and represent
the reduction of the carbon footprint for textile production
processes, while at the same time certifying the use of
regenerated raw materials.
Exhibition
Innovative renewables
These materials are based on the principle of sustainability
and natural, easily renewable resources by using new
technology innovations specifically designed to produce
useful and desirable consumer materials with appropriate
aesthetics, performance and environmental credentials.
They combine the benefits of products that are natural
in origin with the performance of engineered high-tech
fibres. Products made in this way have a smaller carbon
footprint and are less dependent on oil for source material
or production. Some examples exhibited that demonstrate
this growing category are:
Crabyon
Crabyon® is a new fibre based on the technology of
making Chitin/Chitosan into a viscose based fibre. The
idea behind its development is the similarity between the
chemical structures of Chitin and cellulose. This led to
the development of a technology that uniformly blends
the Chitin and cellulose viscose together, then extrudes
this blend in one bath. Some key characteristics of
Crabyon are excellent long-lasting antibacterial function.
It uses the crab shell waste from crabmeat processing
factories, which, as a raw material, is totally biodegradable.
Micromodal is a superfine type of viscose made from
beech wood to the highest environmental production
standards from managed forestry.
Milk fibre – Milkofil®
This is an innovative organic and healthy fibre that is
derived from the protein in milk. Fibre made from casein
demonstrates durability and negative ion emissions and is
therefore also beneficial for air quality, while it also helps
stimulate circulation and is a natural sterile antibacterial
material. Milkofil® is a registered trademark of Filati
Maclodio, who make a variety of yarns both pure and in
blends with cotton and Lenpur®.
Ingeo
Ingeo is a fibre produced by NatureWorks LLC. It is
derived from 100% annually renewable plant sugar-based
resources, rather than oil. From proprietary processes
a new biopolymer is produced (PLA) that is marketed
under the Ingeo™ brand name. Applications range from
bioplastics for packaging, electronics, casings and films as
well as spun or filament fibres for Apparel, home textiles
and non-wovens.

NICE
Nordic initiative
clean and ethical
NICE
Nordic Fashion Association is the organisational body
behind Nordic Initiative Clean and Ethical, in short NICE.
The main purpose of Nordic Fashion Association is to
execute projects under the NICE umbrella, while providing
a networking platform for the industry.
It has been an exciting time for all of us in the Nordic
Fashion Association and we have come a long way since
March 2008. In fact, some of our achievements are
evident today – the 10-year plan of action for the industry,
the NICE Manual including a Code of Conduct, as well as
the website nicefashion.org.
In the goodie bags provided for each of our Fashion
Summit guests, we have included the NICE Manual and
Code of Conduct, as well as the NICE 10 year plan of
action. Besides these two documents, you will be able
to see examples of the NICE website – nicefashion.
org – on the TV screens in the lobby area. These three
projects developed under the NICE umbrella have one
thing in common: they are educational and inspirational
tools for the fashion and clothing industry, developed in
collaboration with the industry in order to meet its needs
and requirements.
Please feel free to use the material: It is made for you!
NICE Manual and Code of Conduct
The NICE Code of Conduct consists of 13 principles, with
the purpose of ensuring an ethical and fair business for
all parties, people and animals involved. It describes and
sets out the ethical principles of the business. The general
principles 1-10 are from the UN Global Compact and are
augmented by our additional principles, 11-13. The NICE
Manual has been developed to assist fashion companies
in upholding the 13 principles put forward in the NICE
Code of Conduct.
The Manual refers to the principles and appendices of
the NICE Code of Conduct. The Manual also includes
guidelines on how to ensure continuous improvement
toward ethical, responsible and sustainable manufacturing
– in relation to the specific challenges and dilemmas of this
industry. The purpose of the NICE Manual is to inform and
educate fashion companies on what it means to act NICE,
why it’s important to act NICE, and how to act NICE.
Our collaborative partners Dansk Fashion and Textile and
Jenny Fagerlin have developed the NICE Code of Conduct
and Manual. A large number of fashion and clothing
companies, NGO’s and other interested parties has
provided feedback on both the Code of Conduct and the
Manual. We wish to thank our collaborative partners and
the people giving feedback for the efforts and work they
have put into the NICE Code of Conduct and Manual.
The NICE Code of Conduct and Manual included in the
goodie bag is a first version. Since conducting one’s
business in an ethically and socially responsible way is
always a work-in-progress, we believe that the educational
tool provided by NICE should also be regarded as such.
Any comments you may have are welcome and will be
considered in future versions.
48 | 49
NICE 10-year plan of action
NICE engaged BSR in June 2009 to develop a 10-year
strategic plan of action for fostering and promoting a
sustainable and ethical Nordic fashion industry. The
purpose of this plan is to provide a common vision and
recommend actions for the Nordic fashion industry to
drive sustainability in their own operations and in the
industry at large.
By developing a 10-year plan of action, we aim to raise
the bar and use the creative competencies in the industry
to create new innovative solutions that achieve substantial
change for how it operates. The plan provides short- and
medium-term recommendations that are realistic goals for
implementing the vision within the next one-to-five years.
The recommendations include both activities for individual
companies, and for the industry as a whole. Additionally,
it outlines long-term recommendations that reflect NICE’s
higher aspirations.
The 10-year plan of action has been developed by a highly
skilled team from BSR, and led by Ayesha Barenblat,
Nicolette Van Exel, Betsy Fargo and Peder Michael
Pruzan-Jørgensen. The first version was reviewed and
given feedback on by a number of experts within the
field, including Mads Øvlisen, Ingrid Schullström, Christian
Kemp-Griffin, Tina. D. Larsen, Thomas Rohold, Cirkeline
Buron and Mette Johnsen, and others from the companies
and organisations that we collaborate with. We wish to
thank all of these people for the efforts and work they
have put into the plan of action.
We hope this 10-year strategic plan of action will inspire,
assist and motivate the fashion industry – as well as
related industries – to integrate sustainability and social
responsibility in their business processes and practices
for the betterment of society. As with the NICE Code of
Conduct and Manual, the 10-year plan of action included
in the goodie bag is a Version 1; any comments you
may have are welcome and will be considered in future
versions.
www.nicefashion.org
nicefashion.org is a web tool for consumers, designers
and people involved in the textile business, as well as
a forum where professionals can find resources and
exchange information.
Based on the cradle-to-cradle principle, the site aims to
inspire the industry toward more environmentally safe and
ethical design and sourcing, while involving the customer
in the process through wash, care and prolonged-use
issues. With best practice examples, innovative design
and news of industry breakthroughs, we aim to inspire and
give food for thought. We also feature the main projects
NICE is involved in, and give in-depth follow-up on these.
Our major cooperative partners are given a chance to
share their research and resources, through links and
highlighted features.
The aim of nicefashion.org is to be accessible and
inspirational enough to move the industry and consumers
towards both more sustainable production and
consumption.
Pål Vasbotten (Oslo Fashion Week) and Tone Skårdal
Tobiasson (independent media professional) have
developed the site in cooperation with Square™ and
Klapp. They would like to thank Innovation Norway, The
Norwegian Royal Ministries for Foreign Affairs, Children
and Equality (Consumer Division), and the Environment;
as well as Norad (Norwegian Agency for Development
Cooperation) for funding the web-site, and the Nordic
Fashion Association for believing in the idea.

Novozymes
From nature to the fashion industry – bioinnovation is key.
The technology is already here. Today, Novozymes can
supply the fashion industry with innovative solutions that
are sustainable and keep quality up to standards.
Bioinnovation is a way of applying biotechnology across
traditional thinking. With 700+ products used in 130
countries, bioinnovation allows Novozymes to replace
many of the polluting practices of industry today with
all-natural solutions. From baking over starch to textiles,
we work with many different industries, the leading ones
being detergent and biofuel. At Novozymes, sustainability
is an integrated part of the business model, which is
reflected in our position as a sector leader in the Dow
Jones Sustainability Index since 2001 – a position we aim
to keep.
Our bioinnovative approach means keeping an eye on how
tomorrow is going to look and continuously rethinking it.
You can make a difference today
Novozymes adds value at different stages of the fashion
industry value chain. At the production level, we supply
textile mills with enzymatic solutions that optimize
processes by saving water, time and energy, while
improving quality. Employing enzymes and the best
technology available in all the stages of textile processing
today is to us good business and simply commonsense.
At the consumer level, we develop enzymatic detergent
solutions that make clothes stand the pressure from
washing. Turn down the temperature on your washing
machine, and you are turning down your CO2 emissions,
while still getting the stains out. In Europe, alone, if every
household turns its washing temperature down from 60
or 40 °C to 30 °C, we can save what correspond to the
annual emissions from three million cars: 12 million tons of
CO2.
Through our insight and solutions we strive to change the
world together with our customers and fulfil our overall
vision to achieve the necessary balance between ”better
business, cleaner environment, and better lives”.
