In the final instalment of Monocle on Design’s partnership with Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF), we broadcast from the heart of its 62nd edition in our pop-up studio. To assess the growing strength of Copenhagen as a fashion capital, we wrap our series with CIFF with a packed line-up, including Bruce Pask, senior editorial director at Neiman Marcus Group; Celine Aagaard, founder, CEO and creative director of Envelope1976; and Rebekka Bay, creative director at Marimekko.
