Career

In 1999, Eskildsen graduated as design manager from the design academy in Kolding. After finishing her degree she started working for IC Companys [1] (a Danish listed fashion group). In 2002 she established Designers Remix by Charlotte Eskildsen with her husband. At the beginning the brand was owned by IC Companys. However, in 2009 the couple acquired 49% of the stock of Designers Remix A/S.

As creative director for Designers Remix she had a strong design signature. She took an architectural approach to the design process. Her approach employs artistic ideas, minimalism, 3D tailoring, draping and cutting. Her vision is to create an avant-garde angle on modern classics such as the tuxedo and the little black dress. Her inspiration springs from her Danish heritage. Danish design icons, organic modernism and functionalism appear throughout creations.

From 2005 and forward Designers Remix displayed during Copenhagen Fashion Week. In 2010–2011 Designers Remix appeared on the official show calendar of London Fashion Week.

In 2008, Eskildsen launched her children's collection "Little Remix". The collection holds thin cashmere knits employing a toned down colour scale, cool prints and fashion pieces.

She worked as an ambassador for the Danish Red Cross as a member of Club 10 and committed to raise money for the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. [2] She raised the 3rd largest donation in Club 10 in 2009.

Awards

In 2004, Eskildsen was chosen as a "Rising Star" by Danish business magazine, Berlingske. In 2007, Charlotte received the "Golden Pin" (Guldknappen) from the Danish fashion magazine Alt for Damerne. Charlotte was nominated as the "Best Danish Designer" by 400 fashion professionals at the first Danish Fashion Awards. In 2012 she received the Dansk Fashion Award when Designers Remix was voted 'Brand of the Year' 2012. [3] In 2013 she received an Elle Style Award for "Brand of the Year 2013" on behalf of Designers Remix. [4]
