CPH Vision has almost outgrown its premises. This season, CPH added a second floor to accom­modate more hip labels

   CIFF is, after CPD in Düsseldorf, the second largest fashion fair in Europe, with 3,160 labels of clothing shoes, leather goods and accessories exhibited. The looks for next winter, developed by the Carlin International trend bureau in Paris, were divided into four themes for the show: ‘Scenario’, ‘Perception’, ‘Coaching’ and ‘Vertigo’.
   The trends featured glamorous ’40s movie-star shapes highlighted with gold and bronze mixed with simple ’50s lines, accentuated with graphic effects. The city looks were created by mixing the traditional classics with sports- and street-wear, and mixing material and colour. Street art graffiti, embroidered ethnic and graphic patterns and shining disco colours are also part of the Køben­havn designers’ visions of winter 2004. These were particularly well interpreted by Benedikte Utzon, Lysgaard and Ivan Grundahl. Men’s labels that captured the Zeitgeist were Matinique, Part Two 4 You, Cottonfield and St Martins.
   CPH Vision, which houses the young, trendy designer fashions, has almost outgrown its premises. Many foreign designers requested exhibition space, especially in the streetwear section which has been enlarged. This season, CPH added a second floor to accommodate more hip labels.
   Compared to CIFF’s large, established clothes’ companies, new labels reside at CPH in Øksnehallen, an old slaughterhouse, now transformed into Europe’s most beautiful fashion venue. Øksnehallen is located at Halmtorvet, formerly the red-light district of København which, like similar regions in London, Paris and New York, has gentrified and transformed into a hip area.
