Denimhead and Mudpie Extend Partnership with GlobalTex
Market Center Management Company (MCMC), the management company of
GlobalTex: LA International Textile & Sourcing Fair™, today announced its extended partnership 
with
Denimhead and Mudpie. The agreement continues GlobalTex as the only trade event in the 
western U.S.
featuring these respected trend services. The next show will be held September 28-30 at the Los 
Angeles
Convention Center (LACC) in West Hall, Hall A.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with Denimhead and Mudpie,” said Stephanie Cole, 
vice president,
GlobalTex. “As our show continues to grow and concentrate on important areas such as denim 
we could not
have better partners. They offer invaluable services that we are glad to offer to attendees.”
During the recent GlobalTex, key denim attendees included: 7 for All Mankind, BeBe, Joe’s Jeans, 
Limited
Brands, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans and Wet Seal. The growing category is led by West Coast 
apparel industry
leader, DeDe Anderson, who recently joined the GlobalTex team as West Coast sales manager 
working
primarily with garment manufacturing, denim textiles/wash houses, sublimation printing and 
knitwear
manufacturers. Denimhead and Mudpie offer key insights in these categories as well as many 
others.
Denimhead will participate in the show as the anchor of the Wear section, providing trend books 
and services
geared toward helping companies begin the design process secure in their understanding of the 
direction the
market is heading.
Denimhead is a cutting edge fashion service specializing in denim and casual sportswear. Its 
books provide the
most recent photographs from fashion capitals throughout the world and include original 
sketches for
inspiration—both of which are intended to help with the design process. Jill Perilman, an 
accomplished denim
designer of 22 years, founded Denimhead in Los Angeles in 2004, after being frustrated with the 
lack of current
denim and casual sportswear information in the apparel marketplace. While other trend services 
allocated only a
small section in their books to these categories, Perilman felt that they were being seriously 
overlooked.
Throughout Perilman’s long career in design, she has demonstrated a keen eye for spotting the 
“next big trends”
in denim and casual sportswear. With extensive experience, sheer ambition and fortitude, 
Denimhead was
launched.
“It is great to be a part of a show that offers high-quality resources in a professional venue that 
best serves the
industry,” said Jill Perilman, CEO, Denimhead.
Mudpie will provide directional trend displays and seminars during the September show. Fiona 
Jenvey, CEO of
Mudpie, will present a seminar focused on trends in denim.
Mudpie’s mission is to design, distribute, sell and promote the world’s leading trend information 
within printed
products, online services and design consultancy. The company includes a range of services 
including:
Mpdclick, a leading commercial online fashion trend forecasting service; Trendbooks, leading 
trend, graphic,
print, pattern and color forecasting books; and Consultancy, a consultancy team for full design 
process from
presentations, trend boards and color direction to final graphic and garment ranges. Fiona Jenvey 
founded
Mudpie as a design consultancy in 1993, which today leads the industry in innovative trend 
information with its
trend books for the contemporary women’s, men’s and children’s wear industries. Jenvey has 
worked with
clients including Warner Bros., Disney, Mattel, USA Pro and Pepe London.
“Our relationship with GlobalTex continues as we offer international trend and color direction 
during the show,”
said Jenvey. “Together with Denimhead we will once again provide needed business insights at 
the fastest
growing textile show on the West Coast.”
GlobalTex is the first full-scale production and design trade show in the United States presenting 
the complete
supply chain for fashion. GlobalTex features the latest fabric, trim, yarn, textile design, garment 
manufacturing
including private label, and manufacturing technology. The show attracts leading designers, 
product developers,
retailers, and wholesalers. In addition, the show offers helpful tailored networking services and 
practical
seminars that support the global fashion and design industries.
