Kingpins Amsterdam is a thumping success

Denim show Kingpins Amsterdam was held on April 18 and 19. The event saw record crowds on both days and a record number of exhibitors made the show a must-see for denim industry insiders. Besides a vast offer of denim, accessory and fiber manufacturers, as well as garment producers from all over the world, the show also hosted several new chemical companies, laundries and activists.

The main focus for almost each manufacturer participating was sustainability and eco-friendliness. This was done by launching new fabrics made by blending post-consumer recycled garments or employing less polluting technology that can help cut water, energy and chemical use and reduce CO2 emissions.

Elleti, an Italian laundry and garment manufacturer, presented a series of faithful reproductions of historical Levi’s vintage denim pieces dating between 1900 and 1930. Chemical specialist Rudolph presented Memoflex, a finish that improves the quality of stretch fabrics by preventing loss of shape.

Label manufacturer Panama Trimmings launched Viridis and G-Label. Viridis labels are made with new animal-free leathers obtained from vegetal polyoils. G-Label labels are made by 3D printing of a special ink made by employing recycled graphite.

Artistic Milliners presented Frenchie, a new series of urban chic though casual cool fabrics. These fabrics are characterized by a mix and match of shiny and matte, perfect for slim jeans for women, versatile blazers, shorts and trench coats, men’s smart low-crotch denims.
