Kingpins is positioning itself as a major denim industry force. Having set up a North American tradeshow in New York, one for Asia in Hong Kong and a European exhibition in Amsterdam, the tradeshow -- which specialises in denim -- is now eyeing the Latin American market.

Taking place in Florida -- January 11 and 12, Kingpins organisers plan to deliver an annual event for denim industry professionals with a focus on Central and Latin America.

Held inside Miami's Mana Wynwood, the event hopes to highlight the latest developments from suppliers from around the world. The first edition expects to welcome several denim professionals including Candiani Denim, Cone Denim, Artistic Milliners, e3 Cotton and Prosperity Textile.

Kingpins continues to multiply its initiatives at a global level, as seen in the release of WHY in Amsterdam and the China City Tour. In late September, the latter held a five-day tour in China, attracting denim professionals in city stops such Guangzhou, Hangzhou and  Zhengzhou.

The aim was to get closer to Chinese brands, designers and suppliers by providing the latest in trends and showcases. The same event will be held again September 18-22, 2017, with Kingpins announcing more offers and new services are planned for visitors during its stops in Guangzhou, Xiamen and Hangzhou.
