GENOVAJEANS IS

the event dedicated to the culture and lifestyle of jeans

that talks about beauty, innovation, respect for people and the environment.

a next-generation networking space

that gathers together the jeans community for a true circular approach, from the supply chain to users.

a new concept

of manufacturing and design district.

the " jeans place"

that starts from the cultural roots of Genoa, but raises towards smart values such as design, creativity, technology and responsible production.

discovering a city full of stimulation and contradictions

accessible and puzzling, a melting pot of traditions and contaminations, vices and virtues, always inundated with arrivals and departures.

reliving the cultural fabric

from which jeans drew its most intimate and true inspiration. It is the theater in which it reprises its role as the protagonist of modernity: from a fabric worn by dock workers to a garment that transcends differences and drives sustainability.
