We are happy to give you a sneak preview of some of the amazing new brands exhibiting at CPH Vision for the first time. At the same time, we are thrilled to welcome some of our old friends back.

Cacharel
The high-end French fashion house Cacharel, which was founded in 1962, is an internationally renowned company, well-known for its iconic products. Cacharel is exhibiting at CPH Vision for the first time and blends in perfectly with the feminine and romantic approach so characteristic of the fair. Among iconic must-haves that originally profiled the brand are the Liberty, the crepon and the simple shirt for women - so keep an eye on the upcoming collection to see the reinvented and newly interpreted pieces.

Pennyblack
Also on board at CPH Vision for the first time is Max Mara's younger sister, PennyBlack. Founded in 1978, PennyBlack has a strong international appeal and is constantly growing in Europe, Central Asia, the Fair East and South America. Aimed at the outgoing, self-confident woman, who seeks a sophisticated, but easy-to-wear high-quality style, PennyBlack offers an up-to-date style in line with current trends. To enhance the brand, PennyBlack is divided into the Black, Grey and Pink labels which aim to dress a woman stylishly every hour of her day.

Twist & Tango
Back at CPH Vision is the Swedish brand Twist & Tango which aims for simple, yet stylish 'everyday clothes' based on the key concepts of fun, personal style and femininity. Taking the 'wardrobe perspective' as its starting point in each collection, every piece is ultimately wearable on its own. Ever since its launch in 1995, all the Twist & Tango products have been manufactured in a way that is environmentally and socially sustainable. The company works very closely with all its suppliers to make sure that standards meet their stringent requirements.

Maria Westerlind
The Westerlind brand was founded in Sweden in 1984 by Maria Westerlind's grandparents and was taken on by Maria who established Maria Westerlind in 2003. With her heritage and roots as inspiration, Maria focuses on high-quality design with European fabrics and production in Italy and core markets such as Scandinavia, Benelux and Germany. With an emphasis on vibrant colours and interesting patterns, her signature pieces are dresses, skirts, coats and knits.

Benedikte Utzon
At CPH Vision, one of the oldies, but goodies is Benedikte Utzon. As a member of the Utzon family of furriers, designers and architects, Benedikte was born and brought up with creativity all around her. In 1995 Benedikte felt ready to introduce her own label with a feminine contemporary mixture of classic and raw designs for the fashion-conscious woman. Benedikte Utzon is stocked by all major Danish fashion boutiques and department stores.
