The Zalando Visionary Award, established by Zalando in 2023, recognises the makers of the future by putting the spotlight on designers and brands with a visionary approach to creating meaningful change within the fashion industry and beyond. To be considered, brands must show how they are driving meaningful change in one or more of the three pillars, whilst also meeting Copenhagen Fashion Week’s Sustainability Requirements. An international jury of industry thought leaders and Zalando representatives selects the winner.
The Zalando Visionary Award Pillars
The Award is built around three core pillars:
Design: Successful brands showcase a unique aesthetic that stands out and resonates within the industry's cultural, social, and market context.
Innovation: Brands push boundaries through forward-thinking techniques and practices in materials, dyeing methods, or supply chain technologies.
Social Impact: Brands prioritise diversity, equity, and inclusion, advocating for social progress while positively impacting marginalised communities.
