CIFF Media

CIFF Media goes On Location.

We are expanding CIFF Media with a new format that brings us closer to international fashion markets – moving beyond fashion week moments and into the markets themselves. CIFF Media on Location offers direct access to the people and places driving change: leading retailers, industry experts, and key stores across global markets. Conversations happen where they matter most – inside each local market.

For our first episode, we went to Poland, where CIFF’s Director, Sofie Dolva, met with Gosia Simonson, CEO of YAVORSKA, Fashion Business Consultant & Nordic brand agent, as well as Ula Wiszowata, Founder of B2B agency and a Fashion expert, to explore the current dynamics of the Polish market - and to discuss what brands should understand when entering and operating within it.

Since being founded in 2021, Prohibited has proven to be much more than just a clothing brand. In January, Lewis Bloyce sat down with co-founder Philip Krause to discuss the Fall/Winter 26 collection ‘Back in the Days’, the brand’s DNA, their use of TikTok, and the organic growth of a global following. Alongside pop-ups across cities worldwide, the brand’s running clubs have, for some time, brought together more than 250 participants – extending the universe beyond clothing and into a shared experience. And yes, the running club will return this August during CIFF 67.

Tromborg has been revolutionizing the Nordic beauty market for over two decades, setting a high standard for clean, science-driven skincare. In this episode of CIFF Media, we sit down with Marianne Tromborg, the founder behind Tromborg, to talk about how a brand born in a kitchen grew into a successful family-owned company with its own factory in Denmark – rooted in organic ingredients, innovation, and cutting-edge science. Marianne also shares the science behind the formulations, her personal everyday favorites, the product that sells every ninth minute, and why joining CIFF’s partnership with 10 Corso Como felt like a natural fit.

In the latest episode of CIFF Media, Jolanda Kooi, CEO of tex.tracer, and Frank Jæger Jacobsen, Buying Manager at Resteröds, share insights on how tech platforms and fashion brands can work together to bring more transparency to complex supply chains and shape a more conscious fashion ecosystem.

tex.tracer’s digital platform maps the journey from raw materials to finished products, empowering brands to make better, more responsible decisions. With over 80 years of history, Resteröds is one of the long-standing brands within the JBS Textile Group, which today produces for more than 20 brands. As scale and complexity increase, partnerships with tech providers like tex.tracer are key to creating clearer oversight across production and supporting responsible growth.

Complex Minds is taking the fashion industry by storm, spanning London, Copenhagen, Tokyo, and Paris with a growing presence across the global scene.

During CIFF 66 in January, our friend Lewis Bloyce sat down with co-founder Johnny Michaels of Complex Minds to talk about who they are, what they do and the universe of brands they’re building.

Founded in 2020, Complex Minds was created from a clear opportunity: to build a creative wholesale fashion agency working across PR and communications, brand development and wholesale all under one roof.

In the latest CIFF Media episode, Caroline Anziutti, Supply Chain Consultant at e-SCM, and Kaat De Jaeger, Supply & Quality Manager at Bellerose, join us to explore the intersection of fashion and technology. e‑SCM is a supply chain platform built to support fashion companies in digitizing supply operations and inbound logistics to gain full visibility and strengthen supplier collaboration. Through the lens of Bellerose — a Belgium brand that has grown into an international label working with a wide supplier network and known for its effortless elegance — they discuss how digital tools can support innovation and data management, secure time to market, and make day‑to‑day processes far more seamless with suppliers and freight forwarders.

This week on CIFF Media, we sat down with Simon Hansen, Press & Communications Director at DM&T, and Majken Kalhave, Executive Director at Creative Denmark.

In the episode, they share the story behind their collaboration – how it began, what drives it today, and where it’s heading next. Despite an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape, the Danish fashion industry continues to stand strong as one of the country’s key export sectors.

Together, DM&T and Creative Denmark bring complementary strengths: deep industry expertise, a nationwide network, and a strong international voice. By joining forces, they are working to elevate Danish creative industries on the global stage – attracting international attention to Denmark while strengthening the sector’s visibility and long-term growth.

Back in January, we sat down with Kamil Czaja, CEO of GoPackshot, and Josefine Laigaard Andersen, General Manager of 66°North, for a conversation about partnership, innovation, and the evolving infrastructure behind modern fashion brands.

As a content operations platform, GoPackshot helps brands build the systems that power their visual and digital presence – streamlining content production for some of Europe’s leading fashion retailers. By connecting photography, video, AI, and logistics into one unified ecosystem, the platform bridges the gap from warehouse to webshop.

The conversation also explores what lies ahead for 66°North. In 2026, the Icelandic outerwear brand celebrates its 100-year anniversary – marking a milestone moment that will be accompanied by a strengthened international presence, with Copenhagen positioned as a strategic gateway to global markets.

In the latest episode of OFF THE RACK, Julian Daynov sits down with Kaspar von Mellenthin, founder and Managing Director of KESS – one of the most talked-about fashion-inspired beauty brands right now.In just a few years, KESS has gone from a direct-to-consumer startup to a recognizable name across the European beauty landscape. Built on a curated range of vegan and cruelty-free essentials, the brand challenges traditional beauty norms by focusing on simplicity, functionality, and products designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life – wherever you are.

DAY ET is a Copenhagen-based brand founded in 2018, known for its functional, high-quality designs that elevate everyday life on the move. Rooted in Scandinavian simplicity, the brand combines clean aesthetics with a playful approach across bags, travel accessories, and more.

Ahead of CIFF next week, DAY ET CEO Tine Raahauge joined CIFF Director Sofie Dolva in the studio for a conversation about the brand’s next chapter, as DAY ET presents its first collection following a recent rebranding. Staying true to its functional DNA, the new brand platform introduces Unexpected Moments – a concept inspired by strong women, expressive colors, and surprising combinations.

At CIFF, DAY ET showcases Unexpected Moments, a collection where functionality meets the unexpected, reflecting a modern, on-the-go lifestyle – from daily commutes to travel and city life.
