Transformers: ED Goes Digital. Watch All the Talks Here
TENCEL™ Denim was proud to take part in the second edition of the educational fashion conference Transformers: ED on April 24. Due to COVID-19, organizer Transformers Foundation shifted gears and swapped a live event in Amsterdam for live streamed sessions conducted via Zoom.
Aimed at students who are still in school, Transformers: ED included speakers from mills, fiber producers and more. Host Mohsin Sajid, denim specialist and founder of Denim History educational platform and premium denim brand ENDRIME, was joined by co-hosts Andrew Olah, founder of Kingpins Show and Transformers Foundation and Mariette Hoitink, co-founder of HTNK, House of Denim, Denim City Amsterdam and Jean school.
Partner associates for the event included Kingpins Show, House of Denim, HTNK and Denim History. The event was put together by Joanne Schouten, with assisting help from Mohsin Sajid, Sadia Rafique and Miguel Sanchez.
