ICYMI: What to Watch This Weekend

Thank You

Kingpins24 Livestream Has Wrapped… But The Show Isn’t Over.

Hi Friends,
Hoping this week has been kind.

We were quite busy with the second edition of Kingpins24, which sought to bring the global denim community together for a dose of much-needing information and inspiration. A very heartfelt thank-you to our industry partners who helped us develop content and to the denim professionals who tuned in.

Also, thank you to The NPD Group, which joined as title sponsor of Kingpins24. They’re a great partner and we’re excited to announce that we will be sharing exclusive denim retail data on our website. You can read about our big plans here and see the first bit of NPD data-based editorial here.

If you missed the livestream – not to worry, the vast majority of our KP24 video content is available on our YouTube channel.
