CIFF Media

In this episode of the CIFF Media x Eurowoman Podcast, Director of CIFF Sofie Dolva talks with Anne Lose, Editor in Chief of RUM & Eurowoman, Stephanie Gundelach, Co-Founder of OpéraSPORT, Anne Dorthe Larsen, Creative Director & Consultant for Lovechild 1979 and Heidi L. Mellerup, CEO of Munthe & 7 DAYS Active.

Together, they explore why Danish fashion resonates far beyond our borders – from the pieces we’re falling for this season, to the balance between beauty and practicality, and how Copenhagen fashion reflects the way we truly live.

OFF THE RACK is our latest add on to CIFF Media where creative force, brand strategist and CIFF chosen family Julian Daynov sits down for a chat with the most inspiring voices across the industry. 

In this episode Julian takes us into the heart of Berlin’s vibrant streetwear scene represented by the two Founders of PROHIBITED Patrick Reimann and Philip Krause – one of the most talked-about emerging brands redefining edge, laid-back coolness, and authentic energy who over few seasons catapulted themselves from the CIFF floor onto the shop floors of some of the world’s most renowned retailers. Born in Berlin, built for the algorithm, worn by the cool – PROHIBITED speaks to a generation that scrolls, shares, and wears their identity out loud in the streets.

Carla Christine Bruus Aagaard-Strube, Editor-in-Chief at Fashion Forum, sat down with Alexander Bach Gram, Creative Director of Molebo, and Chung Wai Cheung, Founder of Woodbird, to talk about their experiences at Pitti Uomo – what it means to them to participate, the energy of being in Florence and how it shaped their journey leading into CIFF next week. Both agree that in a digital age, nothing replaces the importance of physical meetings – the connections made in person are truly what drive their brands forward.

We invited Julia Müller, Head of International Business Develop, at advarics – CIFF’s new partner – to the CIFF Media studio to take us through how brands and retailers can benefit from their services.

The advarics team is made up by 50+ retail professionals who understand and know the processes and challenges fashion of brands and retailers – making them experts in recreating current flows or optimizing everyday processes.
And make sure to catch them at CIFF to learn how they can elevate your business. Location: F-171

What will be this year’s summer ice cream? What should you listen to? And how do you manage to stay relevant in a fashion industry that’s constantly shifting gears?

In this first episode of CIFF x Euroman ‘Arbejdstitel’ Oliver Enné and Kristoffer Dahy Ernst have once again traveled to the fashion fair in Florence, and in the beautiful, scorching hot, and heavily touristy city, the two hosts have gathered prominent guests.

One of the episode’s three guests is none other than Nick Wooster. Other guests on the show include Frederik Berner Kühl, who has lived in Florence and since started his own brand, as well as Jonas Bach, commercial director at NN.07, who shares with listeners what it means to build global brands and create a healthy business along the way.

With years of experience from the industry Mike Bjørnbak and Line Jakobsen from the Danish department store Magasin shares what it means to work as a fashion buyer all year and during fashion week – tips including everything from ginger shots to excellent calendar skills.

We had the pleasure of having Nina Wedell-Wedellsborg in the studio who is the initiator of the Wessel & Vett Fashion Prize – Scandinavia’s most prestigious fashion design award, founded by the Wessel & Vett Foundation in 2012 to embody its core values of entrepreneurship, creativity, and good business acumen.

This Prize underscores the Foundation’s dedication to nurturing Danish design talent, while honoring the legacy of Magasin as a historic fashion institution.

How do you transform 46.000 square meters into a vibrant city guiding visitors through all the brands of CIFF? 

Darling Creative Studio knows – a Copenhagen based creative boutique agency focusing on fashion, design, art and much more. The way they work with fashion is by staging it – and this is exactly what they do season after season at CIFF. 

We had the pleasure of having Uffe Buchard, Partner and Creative Director, in the studio who alongside Jens Løkke, Partner and Managing Director, have been doing the visual identity and creative direction for the past three seasons. And our upcoming edition in August is no exception – this season they are taking everyone for a walk in the park.

Kayla Curtis, Creative Editor at Hypebeast, focuses on client and brand-facing work, making CIFF a must for her during Copenhagen Fashion Week. With a strong appreciation for Scandinavian design, she’s drawn to the way Scandinavians blends function with personal flair and playful details.

To Kayla, CIFF offers the ideal setting to discover new brands and connect with products on a deeper level – an essential part of her role in shaping creative narratives for Hypebeast.
