The Orta team recently visited Amsterdam’s Jean School for the first in a series on Denimars (Denim Seminars). The Jean School is a collaboration between the Regional Community College of Amsterdam and House of Denim initiator James Veenhoff. The Jean School offers a three year technical program for denim professionals called Denim Developer. The goal is to address the needs of the denim industry through such training and innovation. The initiative is supported by some of the industry’s major players including, but not limited to, Levi’s, Tommy Hilfiger, Scotch & Soda and Denham.
