What is important to us as a store is to always visit trade shows that have enough emerging designers represented. They are the best way to learn about the local talents, as well as international guest designers. One of the main shows we are focusing on right now is CIFF in Copenhagen. I visited it for the first time last August, and I can tell how interesting and important a job the 8-9 AUGUST creative director Kristian The Print and Design Fair – Andersen is doing with his New York Edition team.
