Denim Days Announces 2018 Show Dates
One of the denim sector’s favorite festivals, Denim Days, said this year the show will take place in New York September 22nd-23rd.
The event, which Denim Days says is “spearheaded by true denim insiders,” promises to unite denim professionals, designers and brands with the consumers who want their products.
“Denim lovers from across the spectrum—fashionistas searching for the perfect pair of jeans, fade junkies looking to compare notes on raw denim, purists on the hunt for handmade indigo items, and designers shopping for Americana inspiration—will find the largest selection of indigo available at one event during New York Denim Days,” the show organizers said in a statement.
Food, live music and art will also be part of the festivities.
Events involving retail partners will happen throughout the two-day show at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. And this year, New York Denim Days will reach beyond its base location with pop-up shops at New York Waterway terminals during New York Fashion Week, September 6th-14th.
“With this mix of denimheads, the best brands and retailers and the most forward fashion, New York is the perfect home for Denim Days,” said Andrew Olah, an organizer for New York Denim Days and founder of the Kingpins global denim sourcing trade show. “We are thrilled to be back this year and will be shining an even bigger spotlight on the jeans industry.”
From New York, Denim Days heads to its home base in Amsterdam for its festival there, taking place October 27-28th. And new for Denim Days this year, the festival will land in Nashville November 10-11th for a two-day show there.
“Last year we brought Denim Days to New York because we believed the concept would resonate with the New York denim scene—and we could not have asked for a better reception,” Olah said. “Nashville is playing an increasingly important role in the American denim and fashion industry, and with its large creative community and deep roots in music, we felt that the city was a natural fit for Denim Days.”
Lenzing is pleased to be a sponsor of Denim Days New York and Nashville. “After our participation in Denim Days New York last year, we have increased our involvement in the September edition. We will bring the ‘TENCEL™ – Feels So Right’ experience to consumers in collaboration with several major denim brands,” says Tricia Carey, Lenzing’s director of global business development for denim.
