“This time we
introduced a new
theme, ‘Blue is
the new Green’,

want to share a
message with all
our buyers and
the denim lovers
in general. ‘Blue’
means Denim and
‘Green’ means
Sustainability,
thus ‘Blue is the
new Green’…”

among which were the ‘Tonello
Denim Gallery’, ‘Sashiko Stitch’,
the ‘Repair Display’ along with the
special ‘Information Exchange’ and
the absolute novelties of the ‘Virtual
Reality Booths’, enabling one to take
a virtual trip of a fabric mill, denim
factory as well as laundry.
Amongst several seminars organized
during the course of the two eventful
days, ‘From ideas to technologies:
Discovering a new age for garment
finishing’ by Alice Tonello, R&D
Manager at Tonello Garment
Finishing and Piero Turk, a world
renowned denim designer, is worth
mentioning, which explored the new
trends in finishing through cultural,
economic, ecological and technical
aspects.
The ‘Seminar on Total Quality
Assurance: Holistic Approach for
Business Excellence’ by Intertek
Bangladesh was also a major
attraction of the event, which
highlighted the company’s assurance,
testing, inspection and certification
services to the textile and apparel
industry of Bangladesh, presented by
Dr. Karthik ND, Country Managing
Director of Intertek Bangladesh.
ORGANIZER’S
PERSPECTIVE
“Bangladesh Denim Expo is an
international platform showcasing the
wealth of opportunities available in
Bangladesh covering all aspects of the
denim supply chain with exhibitors
displaying fabrics, garments,
threads, machineries, finishing
equipment and accessories – a true
top to toe representation of the denim
industry,” observed the beaming
CEO of Bangladesh Denim Expo,
Mostafiz Uddin, commenting on the
success of the 6th edition of the denim
extravaganza. “And doing it with an
international perspective, especially
concerning the inevitable sustainable
transition, we all must face, learn to
promote and defuse sustainability as
much as we can,” Mostafiz added.
The next edition of Bangladesh
Denim Expo will be held on November
8th & 9th this year with its promise to
overshadow the success and grandeur
of the previous editions, keeping
true to its tradition of setting new
benchmarks in showcasing the latest
innovations in denim.
