Amsterdam Denim Days

For the 4th year in a row Amsterdam will turn into blue again during the Amsterdam Denim Days. The successful International denim festival is taking over Amsterdam again. Amsterdam Denim Days is a series of related events in Amsterdam that will provide an opportunity for denim brands, producers, consumers, press and designers to celebrate all indigo things.

Amsterdam Denim Days is presented by House of Denim, in collaboration with Kingpins, Modefabriek, HTNK Fashion recruitment & consultancy and the city of Amsterdam. Amsterdam Denim Days is scheduled from the 17th till the 23rd of April 2017. The kick-off from ADD is with the denim fabric sourcing show Kingpins. The follow-up is Blueprint, the denim festival, at Westergas. A special denim days program will take place with a range of events and activities in and around the most important denim stores in Amsterdam.

This year the best denim brands will join forces as Tommy Hilfiger Denim, Calvin Klein Jeans, Nudie Jeans Co., Lee Jeans, Kings of Indigo and Wrangler to name a few. But you can also expect cool stuff from the students from the Jean School. Denim City will be part as well.
