Copenhagen, Denmark (CNN) -- Be prepared, the next big thing facing a green makeover might just be your closet.

The glitzy world of fashion and design doesn't typically conjure up images of sustainability and social consciousness, but if its up to Eva Kruse, CEO of the Danish Fashion Institute and Chairman of the Nordic Fashion Association, that's all going to change.
