Denim Party People--Kingpins Coast to Coast

The recent New York run of the Kingpins denim show may have had a Manhattan rooftop pig roast and a bluegrass performance by employees of Bayer CropScience, but visitors to the show’s recent Los Angeles run left a more lasting impression...thanks to the trade show's convivial atmosphere, a well-stocked tequila bar and a photo booth. Show organizers, exhibitors and attendees (and Lord knows who else) got to play dress up with pieces from the Olah denim library (Olah Inc. is the organizer of Kingpins.)

Check out the photos on Kingpins’ Facebook pages. Who knows, you might even spot a current or former Apparel News staffer or two…

For those of you thinking “Oh, that’s just silly,” Kingpins' Facebook page also has a link to a video of its Cotton Conference held last month at the New York show. We were there and found the discussion both educational and entertaining. We also have some highlights (“buy now!”) from the conference on ApparelNews.net’s Special Reports page.

In New York, the Bayer Band.
