PREFACE LA
JULY 29-30, 2026
Join us this July for PREFACE LA - two inspiring days of fabric sourcing, collaboration, education, and meaningful connection. The show will feature an impressive lineup of innovative suppliers across fabric, denim, manufacturing, and more.
Alongside the sourcing experience, we’re excited to once again collaborate with Denim Dudes and Here_After, who will lead thoughtful, engaging programming throughout the event - bringing Los Angeles’ vibrant denim community together to spark dialogue and drive innovation. Programming will also include a non-denim trend presentation by BREW Creative.
Stay connected and be the first to hear about additional show updates by subscribing to our mailing list.
A new kind of impact-focused event for the denim industry, Here|After focuses on creating intimate, elevated community experiences that feature trend and market insights alongside panels and presentations spotlighting innovators, brands/designers, supply chain disruptors and sustainability leads in the denim and fashion space. Here|After seeks to create a third space outside the design studio, c-suite and traditional trade shows for industry leaders to collectively explore the real and potential solutions to the environmental, social and business issues we are all navigating.
