The last edition of Kingpins Amsterdam held on 12 and 13 April 2023 recalled positive feedback from the industry.

 



"We were thrilled to return to Sugar City, now renamed 'Sugar Factory', and we were thrilled to have blue skies for much of the event," commented Vivian Wang, managing director and global sales manager, Kingpins Show.

 



"More than 1,100 visitors from all regions attended, and we received a lot of positive feedback about the new layout, the program and the business done at the show," she added.

The show's visitors appreciated the new inspirational concept, The Boxes, where a diverse group of creatives shared ideas and concepts, along with other inspiration areas throughout the show, including the Most Sustainable Product garment collection, which featured apparel made with sustainable materials and finishes from the show's MSP initiative, explained Wang.



 

"This new layout included a new tented area with a clear canopy, which gave the feeling of being outdoors while still inside. This is where we held our seminars and several of our initiatives and NGO partners. The seminars program ranged from inspirational and trend topics to sustainability tools and programs and were well-attended (some even standing-room only)," added the manager.

This season, the show hosted nearly 100 exhibitors, who shared their most innovative and sustainable solutions, a key topic almost every company is very keen about about.






"We are really flattered that many of our exhibitors choose our platform to launch their new products. We always say that Kingpins is more than a trade show. It's a platform for uniting and informing the entire denim supply chain, and we will continue working to bring the community together," added the manager.
