Quality is Key at Kingpins L.A.

Jan. 25-26th
Downtown L.A

Denim designers flocked to the Kingpins boutique denim sourcing show to catch the coming Fall 2012 looks. Representatives from brands such as Juicy Couture, J Brand, Rock & Republic, Citizens of Humanity,BCBG, Target, and Element were all in attendance and eager to see the up and coming fashions. Although the showroom was filled of buzz with new trends and styles the focus was on the ever climbing prices of cotton. Designers are well aware that the price of cotton on average has increased 10 to 15 percent in the past few years. Now this would seem like a dilema but with the need for qaulity over quanity it seems consumers have shown that they are willing to spend the extra cash for the qaulity of clothing they prefer.

Supima's Buxton Midyette said makers of luxury products are remaining loyal to Pima cotton despite steep price increases

"The sobering cotton prices do seem to be inspiring Southern California’s premium-denim designers to create no-frills, super-clean, vintage-inspired jeans".., vendors said.
