The sixth edition of the two-day semi-annual Denimsandjeans Bangladesh show will take place at Radisson Blu Water Garden Hotel in Dhaka from October 5th. The theme for the event is ‘Vintage recall’, denim goes back to its roots. This time, the show has scheduled two seminars by international experts who will share their ideas on different prospects of denim.
After five successful events, the international denim exhibition hopes to live up to the high expectations for its sixth edition. The show provides a platform for global denim buyers who come together to interact and establish the basis for future trade with key suppliers from Bangladesh. Delving into the past has been the trend high in fashion lately and jeans designs are re-adopting the styles of the early 90s: the colour, the slubs, the weave, the looks of the period are back in vogue.
The current production of denim involves state of the art technology in spinning, weaving and finishing, and the industry is pondering over possibilities of incorporating vintage characteristics in the look while retaining the feel of present times through the weave. By 2020, the global market for denim is expected to be over $64 billion out of which 70 per cent would come from Asia. The last show featured an exclusively European-style fashion show, bringing out interesting competition among the students of fashion universities of Bangladesh, giving them the opportunity to showcase their skills to an international audience.
