The denim event, Kingpins, will hold its next edition on 28th and 29th October at Amsterdam's Westergasfabriek. About fifty denim specialists from Europe, the US and Asia are expected to attend.

After the Hong Kong edition in early August and before the New York edition of 3rd and 4th November, the US trade show will once again be organised in partnership with Lycra Moves Denim. Several among the industry's major players are expected to take part, such as Advance Denim, Artistic Fabrics Mills, Arving, Blue Farm, Cone Denim, Denim Valley, Lenzing and Tavex.

The professional gathering will yet again feature many talks covering seasonal trends and the industry's major innovations. Besides an analysis of the Spring-Summer 2016 fashion shows and the Spring-Summer 2017 denim trends by WGSN, Invista will showcase its latest knit denim offerings, while a round-table talk will be dedicated to the 'premium' segment, both in its original and current meaning.

Kingpins launched its Dutch event on 7th and 8th May 2014, with some forty denim specialists attending  the inaugural edition. This is new competition for the Denim by PV show, held at the same time in Barcelona, or the denim-specific Blue Zone area at the Munich Fabric Start event.
