Kingpins Transformers, which coincides with Kingpins New York, will now move to 11 June. However, New York Denim Days will keep its original dates, hosting its festival celebrating all things indigo on 8-9 June.
“We received feedback that our New York show was too close to Ramadan and came too closely on the heels of our Kingpins Hong Kong Show, which takes place 15-16 May,” explains Andrew Olah, founder of Kingpins Show and Kingpins Transformers. “Our new dates allow us to accommodate our exhibitors and attendees and best serve our community.”
Kingpins New York, which will celebrate 15 years in 2019, is a sourcing and inspiration hub for the American denim industry, with its June edition coinciding with the Denim Days consumer denim festival, and Kingpins Transformers, a summit focusing on the changes that need to happen in the jeans industry to make it more environmentally viable, socially responsible and financially sound.
