Jeansland shares the mic with tomorrow’s leaders
Andrew Olah is launching a new series, Fresh Blood, in which he invites next-generation denim industry executives to share their vision of how the business is evolving. Kaela Bonaquist from Lenzing and William Wood from Material Exchange, both under 30 and former Olah Inc interns, were invited for the first episode of the two-part series. 

“They talk about traceability as a baseline expectation. Digital tools as normal. Automation as overdue. Sustainability not as a marketing layer, but as responsibility tied directly to cost, incentives, and decision-making,” said Andrew Olah. “Part 1 sets the tone. This is less about criticism and more about expectation. If the future of denim has a different voice, this is it.”
