Amsterdam Kingpin’s Show harks back to the ’80s

Amsterdam hosted the Kingpins Show on April 19 and 20, 2017. The show gathered a record number of 90 exhibitors – including accessory manufacturers, garment manufacturers, laundries and full-package providers. The show included more worldwide companies from the value chain.

Trends for the fall/winter 2018/19 were on display. Most influencing will be the return to ’80s and ’90s silhouettes and fabric optics. Oversize jackets and tops, cropped, boxy or boyfriend cut jeans will characterize the evolution of the market. More and more open-end denim with flatter and more regular surfaces will be must haves for seasons to come. Artistic Milliners presented various fabrics including a very open construction, relaxed and slouchy hand denim.

Among some of the most striking innovations launched at Kingpins was US Denim’s new ‘Duvet Denim’. This new authentic looking fabric incorporates leftovers from bird feathers and offers higher insulation from cold, a very soft touch and an interesting nap surface. Part of the new collection is Fluff Wear, a denim fabric that integrates natural and regenerated fibers – remains from the weaving process - blended, spun and woven into new extra soft denim.

Many companies also offered fabrics treated with sulfur dye blues, duck brown and ochre effects.
