Three main trends emerged on the Kingpins Hong Kong show floor:
Denim for F/W 2014 will continue to dig down into its deep blue American roots. The trend leans heavily toward true indigo hues, classic silhouettes, natural-looking wear patterns and fabrications ranging from classic raw denim to soft, buttery textures.

Brands looking for a sense of luxury for the F/W 2014 gravitated toward textured denim. Mills offered jacquards, nubby weaves, embroidery, dobby weaves and all manner of techniques. Womenswear brands opted for classic florals and organic-feeling patterns while menswear brands opted for textures that recalled checkerboard and plaid patterns.

The all-over print trend continues into F/W 2014. Mills offered prints ranging from masculine camouflage to uber feminine florals, spots, natural elements such as leaves and insects, animal prints and even art-inspired prints. Colors ranged from shades of indigo to saturated tones of pink, green, purple, black and white.
