Fashion expert to strengthen Kopenhagen Fur’s marketing efforts

12 August 2008
No less than the best is what Kopenhagen Fur looks for when reinforcing its efforts within fashion and design. This is why the choice of a new Design and Production Manager for Kopenhagen Studio, Kopenhagen Furs design and creativity centre in Copenhagen, fell on Michael Holm.

With his 25 years of experience from the fashion industry, 46 year old Michael Holm is a well known and appreciated face in the Danish fashion circles.

Michael is educated as a designer from the Danish Art and Design Academy in Kolding and from La Escuela de Atres y Tecnicas de la Moda in Spain. He has experience from all aspects of the fashion design and commercialization process from the creative invention to production and sales. Michael has a broad international experience and speaks 8 different languages. He has been working with fur among others through collaboration with the Danish Purple Club member Birger Christensen. Michael has started up the first PR bureau in Denmark explicitly focusing on fashion.

His interest for the fashion industry has led him to a growing attention for all aspects related to the marketing and communication of the sector. He has therefore specialized in communication through post school training in journalism and is known in Denmark for his participation in up to 50 different TV programs as lifestyle and fashion expert. In addition to that, Michael has published two books. He is known for his positive spirit, engagement and service mindedness.

- Our old partners in SAGA recently picked some of our employees, and that’s only natural. As a world leading company we have to live with that as do leaders in any other business. But we have used the opportunity to strengthen our team further. I really look forward to introduce Michael and his competences to my colleagues in the fur business, says Kopenhagen Fur CEO, Torben Nielsen.

Already from 19 August, Michael Holm will together with the rest of the marketing team working from Kopenhagen Studio, secure that Kopenhagen Fur’s skins, brand and labels will be the favourite choice of the best designers and fashion houses all over the world.
