CIFF previews AW27 edition with expanded brand line-up and new collaborations

Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF) has unveiled further details of its AW27 edition, highlighting an expanded brand line-up, new retail concepts and collaborations ahead of its return during Copenhagen Fashion Week from February 2 to 4, 2027.

Returning exhibitors will include S.N.S. Herning, Rains, Halo, 66°North, Palmes, Stella Nova, OpéraSport and A Part of the Art, while Won Hundred will have an expanded presentation and Mads Nørgaard will return with a larger branded space. The Danish label will also present a present a special capsule collection developed with retailer Storm, alongside a wholesale collection of jersey basics knitted in the country.

Similarly, Storm will have a notable presence through a dedicated pop-up shop curated by founder Rasmus Storm. Combining exhibition and retail space, the concept will showcase a selection of brands, exclusive collaborations and the partnership with Mads Nørgaard. The consumer-facing format, mirroring 10 Corso Como's CIFF activation last year, is intended to give visitors the opportunity to discover and purchase selected pieces during the trade fair.

The fair is further building on its athleisure focus, introduced last season, with an expanded selection of brands and a dedicated event space in the fair’s foyer. The area will open on the first day with an event for international buyers and press, including a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Cartel Copenhagen and Sofie Schnoor, which will have an expanded presence across both the athleisure and womenswear sections.

“For AW27, we’re putting greater emphasis on special showcases and collaborations, giving brands room to develop their presence with us,” said CIFF director Sofie Dolva. "It’s how we continue to strengthen the platform and make each edition a source of inspiration for the industry.”
