It is also working with Material Exchange to develop other online solutions to keep the denim business moving forward.
“COVID-19 is not a local problem to resolve. It’s global. And it’s not going away, at least not yet, regardless of the laws,” said Andrew Olah, founder of Kingpins Show and Kingpins24, in a statement.
Olah said that Kingpins couldn’t have held a show drawing in exhibitors and much of Europe and realistically expect everyone to come. He found the idea of staying in hotels and public places and wanting to fly not practical given the current state of the world, according to European media reports.
