One of three breakout sessions held simultaneously at Planet Textiles 2019, ‘A New Blueprint for Denim’ was an eye-opening discussion about the real-world challenges the industry faces. By Chris Remington.
Led by denim expert and CEO of Olah Inc., Andrew Olah, panellists at Planet Textiles gave some candid examples of why the denim industry needs to change – but finds it difficult to do so. Panellists included denim mills including Sanjeev Bahl, CEO of Saitex; Alberto Candiani, CEO of Candiani Denim; along with denim expert Miguel Sanchez, founder of Gavilan AD; and Mike Kininmonth, business development at Lenzing Fibers.
