Bale; The power of digital marketing for Australia from Jessica Yue, founder of Polaris Media Group whose clients include LVMH, Esteé Lauder, and L’Oréal among many others; A look inside Australia’s leading denim manufacturer Nobody Denim; An inspiring story from David Tring of Kontoor Brands (Wrangler & Lee) on his 20+ years in the industry, and how Mike Lelliott from Brand Strategy Application (BSA) uses Dyneema Denim to create Fashion that meets Function.

Kingpins Stories – Miguel Sanchez – Homage To Denim Dyers
This week we debut our Kingpins Stories, a series of stories from professionals in the denim industry. We want to understand, learn and share what denim means to them. The stories are intended to be inspirational, educational and provocative to our readers. In our first story, Miguel Sanchez starts things off with his Homage to Denim Dyers and lessons learned that Miguel wants to share. Read the story here.
We’re reaching out to professionals from all segments of the denim industry, which includes designers, product developers, supply chain members, brand managers and consumers to write about their personal experiences, observations, expectations, suggestions and/or feelings to be shared.
