Kingpins Show Presents: Most Sustainable Products (MSP)
Highlighting the denim industry’s latest sustainable, responsible and circular products and processes
WHAT IS MSP?
In response to buyers and brands seeking guidance on sustainable resources at Kingpins Shows, Kingpins’ Most Sustainable Products (MSP) was launched in 2019. MSP is an initiative that objectively vets and identifies the top sustainable offerings on the show floor and acts as a guide for buyers and brands searching for valuable, reliable information regarding sustainable products.
– MSP represents the continuous Sustainable Innovation (SI) efforts of the denim manufacturing industry
– MSP is meant to inspire denim developers and denim lovers on the beauty of SI Denim
– MSP is not a competition but a selection of the most exciting articles displayed at Kingpins Show by all exhibitors
– MSP is an annual initiative and is not tied to a particular fashion season.
– MSP Collection: Garments in the 2026 collection are designed by globally renowned denim designers Piero Turk and Serena Conti, from fabrics by Foison Textiles, HW Textile, Naveena Denim Mills, Neela by Sapphire, Prosperity Textile, Sharabati, US Group and Vicunha; labels by Turtex Etiquette; buttons, zippers and rivets by YKK and manufactured and finished by Asutex.
– MSP Collection is expressing the powerful allure of the combination Sustainability + Innovation + Style
