Kingpins Amsterdam: Denim Innovation in Difficult Industry Times
Last week was a busy one for the entire denim industry. The day before Kingpins Show kicked off was jam packed with events. We started with Transformers Foundation’s workshop about legislation in the morning, followed by an event celebrating the end of the three-year-long Denim Deal initiative, which included a look at its next chapter.
Kingpins Amsterdam remains the most popular B2B denim event in the world. Mills and brands met and made connections, and attendees listened to panel discussions, took workshops and caught catwalk shows. Day one closed out with an after party. People enjoyed themselves after a busy day with music, food and drinks.
