A Taste of Trade Show from Kingpins--With Love
Ever been to a Kingpins show? Now you can get a sampling of the boutique denim sourcing show, which hosts editions in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Delhi and Bangalore, through its newly launched “67 Second Sell” video series.
Shot at the recent Los Angeles show, the series features the latest Fall/Winter 2012 news from Kurabo, Blue Farm, Invista, ADL, Supima, American Denim Matrix and CDY.
There’s also an overview film, called “From Kingpins, With Love,” which gives views an idea of the show’s environment, offerings and attendees. Organizers are planning similar videos from each national and international that will “capture the unique mood of each show.” (Fun fact: former Apparel News editor--and Trade Talk contributor--Erin Barajas serves as emcee for the videos.)
Show organizers recently announced the news to its 7,000 member database
The videos are housed on Kingpins Media’s Vimeo page and on the trade show’s Facebook page.
The videos will document Kingpins’ offerings and its global expansion. Additional shows are planned for Europe, Bangladesh and India.
“We’re growing. Not just on the Web, but around the globe with new shows, said Andrew Olah, who founded the highly curated trade show in 2004.
”Our growth spurt means that our exhibitor and attendee base is also expanding. This represents new opportunities for everyone involved— but it also means that buyers and designers can’t necessarily attend every show. The ’67 Second Sell’ series is a great way to introduce these new shows and their unique offerings to our customers.”
Kingpins is organized by Olah Inc., a New York–based textile and apparel development and marketing firm which supplies U.S. manufacturers and retailers with denim, corduroy and piece-dyed fabrics.
