“We held our first ED conference in October 2019 at Ravensbourne University in London [...]. More than 300 students from 30 universities and fashion programs across Europe attended and received an in-depth and unvarnished crash course on the state of the denim supply chain. Our goal is to prepare students to enter our industry and hit the ground running with a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing the jeans industry. If we want to change the future of the denim industry, we must equip the young professionals entering the industry with the best information and insight,” says Andrew Olah, founder of Kingpins Transformers and Kingpins Show. The event, sponsored by Saitex, Lenzing and FibreTrace, is open to students, exclusively; tickets can be secured via the Kingpins Transformers website.
