Fibre2fashion & TAI to host global denim conference

The new face of the Indian textile & apparel industry is “Denims” today. Textile Association India,
Ahmedabad Unit is all set and geared up to host a conference on the
global denim & jeans industry in association with Fibre2Fashion.

Under the chairmanship of Dr. PR Roy,
the two-day prestigious event is to be held at Indian Institute of
Management, Ahmedabad (IIM A) on the 29th & 30th of October 2010.
The word Denim evokes and conjures up many thoughts and imaginations in
our minds. Denim as typically masculine attire was in the early stages
adorned by the cowboys or the people of the Wild West in America.

Today, denim is a must irrespective of age or gender to be in the
wardrobe of all modern fashionable consumers. Indigo Blue denim is a
great style statement. Historically, Levi Strauss, the inventor or the
creator of today’s jeans and subsequently many other authors in the
western world has well documented the rise of Denim Jeans to its
present status. In the west, there are many designers who have given
the denim their personal touch and autographed it with their excellence
and craftsmanship. The Indian denim industry too is on the rise and
raring to go global.

The proposed
conference will help the industry discuss the future trends as well as
the latest developments in the industry including expansion of India’s
participation in this growing sector.

Mr Sanjay Lalbhai, CMD - Arvind Ltd and the biggest denim producer in India is expected to inaugurate and address on “Strategic issues in managing global denim business”. Robin
Anson, Editorial Director - Textiles Intelligence, UK will deliberate
on “India’s potential in the international market for denims &
jeans vis-à-vis China, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka”. Shumone
Chatterjee, Head Marketing, Asia Pacific Region of Levi’s Strauss will
hold fort on “Global Brands entry into emerging Indian Market”. Other
eminent experts/speakers from the global textile industry will also
speak on important topics related to the theme during the two-day
conference. The conference is primarily aimed at CEOs and other top
functional executives of the denim & jeans wear industry.
