“We are thrilled to welcome Lulu as a part of the CIFF family,” says Kristian W. Andersen, Fashion and Design Director at CIFF. “Her body of work speaks for itself and we are in sync with our shared goal to make CIFF even more innovative and the leading fashion fair in northern Europe. I look forward to our collaboration.”

Lulu Kennedy BE added: “I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to collaborate with the team at CIFF; their skills and progressive attitude are totally on point and feel relevant to the direction in which fashion is moving. The ideas are right and energy is great; I’m looking forward to bringing new brands to enjoy the scene in Copenhagen this summer.”
