Transformers:ED, the event created especially for students by Kingpins
Transformers, is coming to Amsterdam. After the first edition in the UK,
the event will now launch its second edition on April 24 in Amsterdam, the
organization stated in a press release.
The conference, aimed at fashion students, wants to prepare young people
for the future of the denim industry. For example, the event will focus on
the social, environmental and economic challenges currently facing the
industry.
“We held our first ED conference at Ravensbourne University in London in
October 2019 and the response was overwhelming,” said Andrew Olah, founder
of Kingpins Transformers and Kingpins, in the press release. “More than 300
students from 30 universities and fashion programs from Europe attended and
received a crash course on the state of the denim supply chain. Our goal is
to prepare students for their entry into the industry with a clear
understanding of the opportunities and challenges within the denim
industry”.
For the edition on April 24 in Amsterdam, Kingpins Transformers is
partnering with House of Denim, HTNK and Denim History.
