Travelling isn’t easy at the moment. Unfortunately I have to leave Ciff Kids prematurely due to my flight being cancelled and the replacement flight scheduled earlier. It’s disappointing because there’s so much to see.
The change in date seems for the good. This edition’s layout of the show is great as it draws you through a fantastic offering of young eye catching labels.
Talking with brands and buyers, they are happy. Whilst many of the press are pleasantly surprised by the show being much bigger this edition, but with the show closing at 4pm many of us were left wanting more time to discover everything here at CIFF!
