The mood for Spring/Summer 2020 is reflected in four new trends which the company describes in their own words :

• The Serenity of Being evokes a sense of stillness, reflecting the desire to “be in the moment” to offset the effects of isolation and information overload;
• The Joy of Expression captures Gen Z’s desire for “Instagrammable” disco-glam wardrobe statements;
• The Surprise of the Unexpected fuses athleisure wear with a new sartorial luxury, blending street looks with classic style;
• and the “anything goes” attitude of The Excitement of Creativity is seen in the rejection of normcore in favor of creative, exuberant and multilayered designs.

Spring/Summer 2020 Innovations

Capturing all the youthful joy of the Insta-generation, nothing says it’s time to shine more than Swarovski’s new Kaleidoscope Fancy Stones family. Thanks to Rivoli faceting on the reverse and large facets on the front, these triangular, hexagon and square crystals showcase a radiant and totally new rainbow-like optic. Ideal for jewelry and accessories, the user-friendly glue-in setting option will be very popular with the DIY community. Also new this season is the gently expressive, gemstone-inspired, 50-facet Princess Cut Pendant.

Ideal for hand-application techniques such as beading and wire working, as well as sewing, this easy, time- and cost-saving product works beautifully for jewelry and DIY, apparel and accessories. And because it is unfoiled, it makes for stunning standalone, open-back pieces that have an elegant, fine-jewelry look.

In an industry first, the Crystal Electric Lacquer^PRO family’s six new lacquered effects bring a burst of neon brightness to the Swarovski palette. Made with UV pigments that glow under light, their sparkling pops of color add excitement to sport-inspired casualwear, as well as answering the demand in the dance sport segment for intensely colorful crystals.

Spike Flat Backs & Sew on Stones defy convention with their boldly rebellious “anything goes” attitude. Perfect for sewing, setting, gluing and using with Ceralun, these premium-looking spikes come in two shapes, with two sizes for the Sew-on Stones and three sizes for the Flat Backs—just right for mixing and matching across a spectrum of creative designs, especially footwear and accessories.

My Earth My Denim – 4^th Edition Of Denimsandjeans Vietnam

Sustainability is the need of the hour and companies have been hugely investing to create a pool of sustainable assets to save the environment and promote sustainability in the denim industry. Leading retailers including C&A, H&M, and PVH have been keeping very high standards for sustainability enabling and forcing the suppliers to take adequate measures to ensure absolute sustainability at different stages of production.

Vietnam is showing great promise because of its increasing importance due to various pacts and there are several trade agreements and treaties lined up in Vietnam with countries and group of countries and implementation of which will surely lead to a massive growth in the apparel productions and exports and that is why the entire narrative of SUSTAINABILITY becomes very relevant for Vietnam.

With an objective to take this entire discussion of SUSTAINABILITY one step ahead, Denimsandjeans has themed its Vietnam edition MY EARTH MY DENIM. Vietnam is fortunate to have started its denim industry in a very balanced way where sustainable production has been ensured in many ways due to local govt laws. This also helped and pushed the industry to invest in machines and equipment which could help make a minimum impact on the environment. With a little more push and knowledge, the industry is expected to be one of the most sustainable globally.

Denimsandjeans show in 2018 enabled a number of important companies to visit the show and included some global buyers from US ,EU, Hongkong,Korea,Taiwan and Japan like VF, Levi’s , GAP, American Eagle, JC Penny, A&F, Lifung, Walmart, Yagi , PVH, Hermes , Target, MGF, H&M ,Mast, Coach , G Star ,S Oliver, Camaieu, Uniqlo, Debenhams,Marks & Spencer, Gloria Jeans, Itochu, Toray and buyers from many other companies visited the show and expressed their satisfaction and found it a very important platform to meet all the denim supply chain partners at one place . This year there is much more interest in Vietnam as the CPTPP treaty has already kicked in and EVFTA with EU is expected to go on stream. The post-show report of the 3rd edition can be seen here.

Sandeep Agarwal, founder Denimsandjeans says “ Our Vietnam show has been going from strength to strength and we have been steadily getting into the calendars of different buyers who wish to source denims from Vietnam. We also see increased interest from more Vietnamese garment companies to be at the platform to reach out to the buyers and that is why a number of garment companies from Vietnam will be there at the show to cater to visiting international buyers. Besides the Vietnam specific collections by our local and global exhibitors, talks by global experts at our shows are also greatly appreciated by the local visitors .
