Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF), Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW), Dansk Fashion & Textile (DM&T) and Creative Denmark are joining forces for The Danish Edit; an exclusive event during Paris Fashion Week, bringing the four organisations together as part of a broader, long-term collaboration to strengthen the international position of Danish fashion and support more brands in developing their export potential.

Bringing together four of the Danish fashion industry’s central organisations, the partnership represents a shared, long-term commitment to creating greater visibility and stronger opportunities for Danish brands in international markets. All four partners have contributed to the initiative, underlining a collective investment in the continued international development of the Danish fashion industry.

The Danish Edit will take place during the upcoming Paris Fashion Week SS27 as an intimate cocktail hour gathering at Le Mary Celeste, October 1st, bringing together Danish brands, international press, buyers and industry stakeholders for a cocktail hour, building on a shared ambition to create a stronger meeting point for the Danish fashion community in Paris.

“The strength of Danish fashion lies not only in the individual creativity of our brands, but in what we can achieve when the industry comes together. The Danish Edit is an expression of that collective ambition - uniting our networks, knowledge and resources to connect brands with key international buyers and press, and support them in realising their global potential”.
- Sofie Dolva, Director, CIFF

A key part of the initiative is establishing a more consistent foothold for Danish fashion in Paris. Building on the inaugural CIFF Paris showroom during Men’s Fashion Week in June, CIFF will continue its Paris presence twice a year, creating a dedicated setting for brands to present their collections and connect directly with international buyers, press and industry professionals. The first edition brought together around 20 Nordic and international brands, including Rains, OpéraSPORT, Tretorn and Woodbird, across a three-storey showroom in Le Marais, complemented by a programme of industry gatherings, breakfasts, podcast recordings and informal networking moments. The upcoming edition will build on this format, bringing the showroom into the men’s fashion calendar and providing participating brands with a collective platform during one of the most commercially important moments of the international fashion season.

Through a targeted approach to buyers, press and industry contacts, the CIFF showroom is intended not only to provide visibility during Paris Fashion Week, but to create relevant meetings and relationships that can support brands’ international business beyond the week itself.

“There is such strength in coming together as an industry to champion Danish fashion internationally. Copenhagen will always be our home and our central meeting point, but it is vital that we also create opportunities to spotlight Danish brands beyond Copenhagen and bring their creativity, ambition and relevance to key international audiences. The Danish Edit is a good example of what we can achieve through collaboration.”
- Cecilie Thorsmark, CEO, Copenhagen Fashion Week

For the wider Danish fashion industry, the collaboration is about turning international attention into lasting business opportunities. By bringing together the networks, knowledge and resources of all four organisations, the partnership will support more Danish brands in navigating international markets and developing their export potential. The shared effort creates a stronger framework around brands already working internationally, while helping more companies establish the connections and visibility needed to take their next steps into new markets.

“The Danish fashion industry is already well established on the export markets, but we need to maintain this momentum and show the rest of the world just how much Danish fashion has to offer. The Danish Edit is a brilliant opportunity to give even more people the chance to experience our strong design DNA and international appeal, thereby enabling Danish fashion to translate this international attention into concrete business opportunities and growth.”
- Thomas Klausen, CEO, Dansk Mode & Textil

Alongside these activities, Creative Denmark has developed a dedicated map of Danish brands presenting their collections in Paris during Paris Fashion Week, connecting the individual showrooms into a broader picture of Danish fashion across the city and making the scale of the collective Danish presence more visible to international press, buyers and industry stakeholders.

"We’re proud to support an international initiative alongside three strong organisations that each play an important role in Danish fashion. The Danish Edit reflects the collaborative DNA that defines Denmark’s creative ecosystem and strengthens our

shared international platform."
- Majken Kalhave, Executive Director, Creative Denmark

The Danish Edit underlines the shared and long-term effort by CIFF, Copenhagen Fashion Week and Dansk Mode & Textil to strengthen the international position of Danish fashion and create new pathways for Danish brands in key global markets.
