HRH Crown Princess Mary, CIFF patron, officially opened the fashion fair today. Prior to her arrival, a fake, but equally dark haired, Mary helped the CIFFKIDS models rehearse their royal debut (which comprised shouting congratulations to the pregnant princess). The Crown Princess attended the CIFF and CIFFKIDS trend shows as well as visiting several exhibitors at the fair, starting with Danish brand Carla du Nord, where she with great interest viewed styles from the forthcoming Spring/Summer 11 collection. Mary’s interest in fashion has recently earned her recognition on Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed List 2010.
