I spent almost 10 years working for the jeans mag Sportswear International, first as the UK correspondent and later as the deputy editor in Milan. Founder in 1975 by Peter Schindler, who sadly died last year, Sportswear will have its 250th issue published in March, which is a great achievement. Now part of the Frankfurt-based trade publisher Deutscher Fachverlag, SI threw a party for “family and friends” at Bread&Butter.<\/p>\n

I was delighted to catch up with my former colleagues, Lisa Dartmann and Kiki Pavarini, who are part of the “old school” Sportswear clan.<\/p>\n

\"Sportswear<\/a><\/p>\n

I was great also to spend time with Panos Sofianos, one of my favourite denim nerds, who heads up design development for Royo, the superb mill in Valencia. A Greek working in a Spanish mill? That’s why the mag is called Sportswear International!<\/p>\n

\"Sportswear<\/a><\/p>\n

Bread & Butter is a great place to make new friends, like Maria Hustig, an editorial trainee on Sportswear, who cheered me up no end by pointing out that she wasn’t even born when I started working for the mag in 1987…<\/p>\n
