During the conference, you will have the opportunity to experience some of the results from the collaboration between the school and ECCO, in the shape of films, student projects, books and more. The conference follows from a five-year partnership between Design School Kolding and ECCO, which also resulted in a one-of-a-kind agreement with PENSOLE, which normally does not work outside of the US. An agreement centred on developing the shoe designer talents of the future, and which will generate knowledge on materials, styling and construction of shoes.
