Gracing Berlin's Bread and Butter tradeshow, the Tempel of Denim by Wink is a [blue jean display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-tab) created from 1000 dip-dyed t-shirts. An homage to denim, Dutch design firm Wink's dynamic monument celebrates the timeless textile.

Taking inspiration from the concept of world religions, this [bold fashion display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centennial-exhibition) aims to unite a multitude of denim brands showcased at the German trade show. Recreating a religious space, the Wink architecture team raised a 2000 square meter tent with a centrally built runway set up to resemble a last supper table.

Vistors were seated at the large table that included place settings while models showcased [denim looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-denim-collections-levis-and-adsb-andersson-bell-join-forces-to-reimagi) accessorized to symbolize various world religions. From its awe-inspiring design to its controversial concept, the Tempel of Denim by Wink takes fashion to new heights.
