Copenhagen International Fashion Fair returns August 5
Copenhagen international Fashion Fair (CIFF) is set to make its return to the Bella Center from August 5–7, 2025, coinciding once again with Copenhagen Fashion Week. With the aim to create opportunity for businesses amidst changing market conditions, this summer's edition signals a renewed commitment to emerging markets, with a 25% increase in focus on Asia, the Middle East, and the fast-growing Eastern European fashion consumer market. Likewise, a key highlight for 2025 is the launch of CIFF Media, a new content platform that will deliver year-round industry leaders and market insight, through an all-video social and online channel. Designed to elevate the reach and resonance of the fair, CIFF Media layers digital storytelling atop physical experiences, offering brands and buyers a second-to-none support network. 'Now is the time for us to be bold, invest, and create a trade platform that innovates strategically to not only support, but power growth for brands,' said Sofie Dolva, director at CIFF. 'When the industry says 'challenge' we hear 'opportunity' and set about planning how we can look at the landscape differently, do more, and fulfil of commitment to the industry of being the best possible international hub for the fashion industry to come together and do business.' This year's edition will also feature collaborations with The CFDA, Pitti Uomo, and ISPO, the world's largest sports trade fair, bringing curated brand showcases to Copenhagen. The fair equally works in close alliance with Copenhagen Fashion Week, DM&T (the Danish Fashion and Textile association), and Creative Denmark.

Japanese label Children of the Discordance to stage show at Pitti Uomo
Japanese brand Children of the Discordance will take the spotlight at Florence's Pitti Uomo with a fashion show scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, June 17, at the Stazione Leopolda. Organized in collaboration with the Japan Fashion Week Organization, the event highlights Children of the Discordance as the special feature of the upcoming edition of Pitti Uomo (June 17–20). The brand will also be featured at the Florentine trade show with a dedicated space inside the Fortezza da Basso, as part of the 'Futuro Maschile' section, which focuses on contemporary menswear. 'Children of the Discordance is one of the brands we've been watching most closely over the past few seasons,' said Francesca Tacconi, special events coordinator at Pitti Immagine. 'Since its debut at Pitti Uomo a few years ago under the Tokyo Fashion Award banner, we've appreciated founder Hideaki Shikama's independent vision and his ability to merge archival elements with the fast-paced language of streetwear—all through a forward-looking design lens.' 'We've been part of the Pitti community ever since we won the Tokyo Fashion Award eight years ago. Today, I'm truly grateful for the chance to return five years later to present my collection in a runway show at the event that helped grow my business partnerships. My pieces draw inspiration from the complex cultural landscape I experienced growing up in a Japanese port city like Yokohama, and I try to infuse that cultural essence into every piece I create,' said Hideaki Shikama. Born in 1980, Hideaki Shikama founded Children of the Discordance in 2011 and won the Tokyo Fashion Award in 2017. He has previously presented his collections in Tokyo, New York and Paris. His fashion career began in 2005 when he was appointed director of Acycle, a multibrand store in Harajuku, Tokyo. The Children of the Discordance runway show adds another high-profile highlight to the already rich calendar of Pitti Uomo's summer edition, which also includes appearances by Issey Miyake, Paf-Post Archive Faction and Niccolò Pasqualetti.
