The next edition of the Denim Show – Denim By Premiere Vision – is due on Dec 2nd-3rd at Les Docks/Paris Saint-Denis and it promises to celebrate the Spirit Of Japanese Spirit Of Jeans..
The show orgainsers say
” Denim by Première Vision now turns the spotlight on Japan. This leading player in the world of premium and selvedge denim inspires and fascinates the jeanswear world. A country of strong contrasts, where authentic handicraft, the cultivation of natural indigo, and an extreme approach to the hand-made juxtapose and are combined with the most advanced technology. It will provide a unifying theme to the decoration, displays and spirit impregnating the show’s 3 halls, for a dazzling “Tribute to Japan.”
Focusing on the Japanese Jeans as a theme is a very good idea and long overdue as Japanese denim industry has made a significant contribution to the denim world – whether it is bringing back vintage denim to the forefront or making selvedge denim popular .
Besides new exhibitors like Japanese denim producer Kurabo , more than 60 exhibitors from various denim sector professions like weaving , accessories, finishing and laundering etc are participating in the show. This seems a fairly good participation level and shows the continued strength and optimism of the denim sector.Check out this link to find the list of the participating companies.
