Mary at opening of CIFF fashion fair

Today Mary has opened the bi-annual Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF) in the Bella Centre in Copenhagen. Like Queen Ingrid and Princess Benedikte before her, Mary is the patron of CIFF, and in the past few years has attended a few events associated with what has become one of the biggest fashion trade events in Europe. The latest fashion trends will be displayed by the 929 exhibitors at the fashion fair – up until now the biggest in Scandinavia, and now Europe’s biggest. This August 2006 CIFF will present fashion for the Spring/Summer 2007 season. CIFF is organised by the Federation of Danish Textiles & Clothing and the Bella Centre.
