Crafting the first ever CIFF x Revolver space: What to expect of the joint show in Copenhagen August 9-11

CIFF x Revolver present a dynamic full-spectrum show this summer spanning market segments, from emerging to established; domestic and international; menswear, and womenswear. CIFF Beauty returns for the second season on the back of positive industry feedback and overwhelming demand from participating brands.

This season’s brand list is built on local Scandinavian heroes alongside likeminded international brands. Long standing exhibitors including Holzweiler, Snowpeak, Soulland, American Vintage, Red Wings, and Universal Works are joined by CDLP, Barbour, Drykorn, and Viktoria Chan amongst others making their show debut this season. CIFF x Revolver plays host to celebrated local brands seen on the Copenhagen Fashion Week schedule including Wood Wood, Henrik Vibskov, A.Roege Hove, Marimekko, Lovechild 1979 and 7 Days Active.  

In crafting the first CIFF x Revolver space, Danish installation artist FOS has been commissioned to create a series of largescale installations greeting and guiding visitors through the show. FOS’s work has been exhibited in London, Paris, Milan and the artists native Copenhagen, exploring how our physical surrounding and human relations interact in an ongoing study into how we are defined as social beings by the language of objects and space. This commission utilises material from past works, including the set from CELINE’s SS16 show, to produce artworks with a sense of accumulated experience. 

Launched in 1993, CIFF established itself as a fixture on the international fashion calendar as the primary and longest running trade event for the Northern European market. CIFF has played host to over half a million visitors and over 10,000 exhibitors from over 100 international markets since its debut.

CIFF x Revolver continue to grow the scope of their robust International Guest Program season-on-season including representatives from over 100 global Top-Tier retailers including Beams (JP), Browns (UK), END (UK), Harrods (UK), Harvey Nichols (UK), Isetan (JP), La Maison Simons (CA), Le Bon Marché (FR), Luisa Via Roma (IT), Neiman Marcus (US), Net-a-Porter (UK), Nordstrom (US), Printemps (FR), Saks (US), Selfridges (UK), SSense (CA), and more.

With their acquisition of Revolver earlier this year, this season’s show promises to reinforce and develop their market-leading position and that of Copenhagen as a global fashion centre of commerce and creativity.
