''This award can be a crucial stepping stone for a Danish brand looking to break into the US market. By participating in the CIFF x CFDA showroom during New York Fashion Week, the winner gains exposure to key industry players and access to strategically important networks in both buying and media. It provides a unique opportunity to establish a presence in the US and build relationships that can lead to long-term commercial partnerships. The massive media coverage and visibility through ELLE, US media, and the CFDA with their reach of 1.3 million followers is in itself a huge boost to the brand's international profile'' says Director of CIFF, Anna Sofie Dolva Read more below https://lnkd.in/dXet55Z6 By Amalie Thejls Uebel

We are happy to share that for the first time ever, CIFF will have a partner stand at ISPO Munich (3-5 December 2024), where brands from the denim, sportswear, streetwear and sneaker sectors will showcase the very best of new Danish design ensuring that the increased fusion of sport and fashion and the ensuing business and growth potential will be made accessible to even more retailers across the industry. "We are delighted to be working with CIFF, one of Europe’s leading fashion platforms. Sport and fashion continue to converge, and traditional boundaries are shifting, leading to exciting potential for brands and retailers that we would like to emphasize together. In the Scandinavian region in particular, sports and fashion brands have been influencing each other for decades, learning from each other and creating new materials, designs and innovations. We want to utilize this potential, support it together, make it visible and drive it forward.“, says Tobias Gröber, Executive Director Consumer Goods and Director ISPO Group, on the joint co-operation

We are excited to announce that our upcoming edition, CIFF 64, will take place from 28-30 January 2025. After constructive feedback from brands and visitors, we have adjusted the fair’s position in the fashion calendar. This means that Tuesday will now be the new official opening day – while Friday will no longer figure in the schedule. To create a more cohesive fashion week, the partnership between CIFF and Copenhagen Fashion Week has been further strengthened. As a result, most international guests and press will be flown in on Monday, allowing them to participate in shows and events during CPHFW and prioritise visits to CIFF. “We are very excited about the new structure and the strengthened collaboration with Copenhagen Fashion Week. By moving the opening day to Tuesday and coordinating more closely with CPHFW, we can create a more cohesive and valuable experience for both exhibitors and guests", says Anna Sofie Dolva, Director of CIFF.
