This August marked our fifth edition alongside Mandatory during Copenhagen Fashion Week, bringing together brands, buyers, and the wider fashion community once again.
Over the course of our partnership, Copenhagen has become more than just a moment to connect with the industry. It’s an opportunity to exchange perspectives on how wholesale is changing, and to hear directly from brands and buyers about what they need next.
This season also reflected a broader shift across the industry: in an increasingly selective wholesale environment, the quality of connections matters as much as their scale. Strong international buyer attendance reinforced the value of bringing the right brands and buyers together.
The future of wholesale has been a recurring theme throughout our partnership with Mandatory. Earlier this summer, we sat down together to explore how the relationship between brands and buyers is evolving, and the role technology can play in creating a more connected, collaborative industry.
These conversations continue to highlight something at the heart of wholesale: technology can help move the industry forward, but strong relationships are irreplaceable.
Beyond the conversation, this edition also gave us an opportunity to celebrate the partnership in a more tangible way. Together with Mandatory, we teamed up with legendary outerwear icon Schott to create an exclusive bomber jacket made especially for our buyer community. Blending Schott’s iconic heritage with the global fashion communities of Mandatory and NuORDER, the collaboration celebrates the creativity, innovation, and authentic connections that continue to shape the industry.
Five editions in, our collaboration with Mandatory continues to evolve, creating new ways to bring together fashion, technology, and wholesale.
