COMPANY HISTORY - MADS NØRGAARD-COPENHAGEN:
1986
The collection 'Mads Nørgaard-Copenhagen' shares history with the shop Mads Nørgaard. When Mads Nørgaard opened his shop in October 1986 he soon realized that there were things he missed that he could not find in other collections. He started producing his own designs, and due to rising demands from other shops, he soon began to sell his collection to other shops too.

1995
Mads expands his own designing and establishes his own show room above the shop at ‘Strøget’. The year after he introduced a women’s collection and a children's collection. Mads Nørgaard-Copenhagen now has four collections for women and men per year: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
