For the coming SS18 edition of CIFF, Northern Europe's leading and most innovative fashion platform, Lulu Kennedy will return to curate a line-up of installations, product showcases and immersive experiences – as well as runway shows as part of CIFF Showscene - at Crystal Hall.

Since 2000, Lulu Kennedy has helmed Fashion East, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to nurturing new design talent in the fashion industry. Selected womenswear and menswear designers are guided through a talent incubator that includes a runway show on the official London Fashion Week and LFW Men’s schedule, one-to-one expert mentoring, and a Paris sales showroom. Over the years, Kennedy has guided and assisted in the evolution of a number of the leading global fashion talents including JW Anderson, Roksanda Ilincic, Jonathan Saunders, House of Holland and Gareth Pugh to name just a few.
Kristian W. Andersen, Fashion and Design Director at CIFF, commented on Kennedy’s return:
“At CIFF, we see emerging design talent as the life blood of our industry and so we’re proud of our track record of spotting and nurturing young brands not just from Scandinavia but from all over. That’s why CIFF is excited to welcome back Lulu Kennedy and her fresh roster of promising young London-based brands for SS18. This openness to new ideas is why Copenhagen is fast emerging as one of the most relevant destinations in the world not just for fashion but for creativity in all its forms.”
Lulu Kennedy MBE added:
“I’m delighted to be joining team CIFF for my third season. Their international attitude and commitment to providing a platform for creatives is stronger than ever – Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY and Louise Gray are producing incredible bespoke art installations, and Husam el Oden will be crafting jewellery pieces live for guests. Super hot London talents Art School, Per Gotesson, Liam Hodges, Caitlin Price and Richard Malone are joining us, and our whole trip will be documented in a short film hosted by fashion and cultural commenter Karen Binns.’
