Kingpins chief executive officer Vivian Wang said: “Each season and for every city, we strive to bring new ideas, new technologies and new sources of inspiration to Kingpins. Our show is not just a platform for retailers and brands to meet with the best denim suppliers in the world. It is also a space for inspiration, education and connection across the entire supply chain. At a time when we all can use a hopeful reminder of the progress that has already been made toward a more sustainable and successful denim industry, we believe Kingpins can be a platform where those changes begin.”
Kingpins is an invitation-only event that showcases a select group of global industry players, from fibre producers and mills to chemical suppliers and machinery manufacturers, catering to the denim and jeans sector.
The event attracted approximately 640 attendees representing nearly 290 companies.
