Denim Dudes

Amy Leverton has been working in the denim industry since 2003; for four years as a denim and casual wear designer, and the last eight years in trend forecasting and consultancy. Her job has encompassed many aspects of the denim market: she covers over 15 industry trade shows and niche denim events annually, analyses street style, scours fashion week runway shows and hunts for obscure new brands. An average year means visiting Los Angeles, New York, Barcelona, Las Vegas, Tokyo, Amsterdam, San Francisco and many cities besides in the search for denim innovation. Her extensive experience in the industry has made her an expert in denim as well as a published author, with strong industry connections amassed from years of coverage.

Author Amy Leverton takes you on a journey through her favourite and most treasured contacts in the book, what they taught her about the industry and what other lessons she has learned along the way. She'll also give you a preview of her upcoming book, Denim Dudettes and share some of her current obsessions.
