“Denim Futures” Conference & Showcase

Denim Futures

Since indigo dyeing was developed in the Far East in the 16th century, denim has made its way into our lives and evolved from heavy duty work wear to become the most iconic garment of our modern days, creating an industry and a global community of its own.

It has also recently come into the spotlight as one of the most denounced fashion culprit of pollution as climate change concerns are raising and the world is trying to adopt more sustainable practices and processes. So how can we transition our beloved denims into a more sustainable future?

The Mills Fabrica brings you the “Denim Futures” conference and showcase, curating experts insights and sustainable innovations from denim professionals, brands, manufacturers and innovators.

Join us to uncover the latest trends and regulations, sustainable product developments, innovative materials and processes, and learn more about circular designs and life cycle assessment.
