Kingpins Amsterdam will be held on October 24 and 25, 2018. This is a show for denim and sportswear fabric mills. It features some of the best and most innovative members of the denim supply chain. Ranging from fiber to technology and machinery makers, mills and manufacturers, trim suppliers and laundries, exhibitors at Kingpins Amsterdam will be showing their spring/summer 2020 collections and latest innovations.
A seminar will present Levi Strauss, which 100 years ago created its first garment for women, Freedom-Alls, a one-piece tunic over balloon pants. Since then Levi’s has pioneered the first women’s blue jean and a variety of other denim creations for women. The seminar will review 100 years of Levi’s women’s garments and explore stories of the women who wore them.
Another seminar will explore the history of denim branding and its evolution. There will be a curated selection of garments developed by a trend forecaster and consultant. Kingpins Transformers will be held on October 23. This is a summit that will feature members of the denim supply chain who are disrupting and rewriting the rules for everything from how fibers and dye fabrics are made, to how suppliers are inspected, how waste disposal is done and how garments can be made safer for human bodies and the planet.
