The campaign celebrates denim’s deep roots in blue-collar, industrial, and Western culture, infusing these classic elements with a modern twist. This approach not only honors the fabric’s heritage but also appeals to contemporary fashion enthusiasts seeking authentic and enduring styles.

Central to Beyond Retro’s mission is sustainability. The brand actively collaborates within the industry and has developed its own label line to promote circular fashion, aiming to reduce waste and keep denim out of landfills. By highlighting these initiatives, Beyond Retro connects with consumers who prioritize responsible fashion choices.

“As a brand that values sustainability and authenticity, this campaign reflects our commitment to quality, durability, and environmental responsibility,” says Beyond Retro. “We want to inspire our customers to see vintage denim not just as a fashion choice, but as a thoughtful investment in timeless style and sustainability.”

Beyond Retro’s extensive collection features a diverse range of vintage denim pieces, including jeans, jackets, skirts, and dungarees. Each item is carefully selected to ensure it meets the brand’s high standards for quality and style, offering customers unique pieces that stand the test of time.

In addition to their online presence, Beyond Retro operates physical stores across the UK and Sweden, providing spaces where customers can explore and experience the curated selection firsthand. The brand’s commitment to sustainability extends to these retail locations, where they implement eco-friendly practices to minimize environmental impact.

By blending a deep appreciation for denim’s heritage with a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, Beyond Retro’s latest campaign invites consumers to make conscious fashion choices without compromising on style.

Dsquared2’s latest denim campaign for Fall 2024 embodies the brand’s spirit of unbridled self-expression and confidence. Shot by frequent collaborator Giampaolo Sgura, the campaign celebrates the joy of dressing – and undressing.

Nostalgic Style Meets Progressive Individualism

The campaign’s aesthetic blends nostalgic style with progressive individualism. A minimalist studio setting and a classic leather sofa serve as the backdrop for bold, intimate portraits. Models dressed in double denim, with bare skin as a statement accessory, exude confidence and comfort.

The accompanying short films, inspired by Y2K smut films, reveal the leather sofa as an adult film casting couch. Models respond to provocative questions, shedding their denim and inhibitions. This unapologetic exploration of sexuality and identity solidifies Dsquared2’s commitment to self-expression. Denim remains a core focal point for Dsquared2, with innovative styles and classic coolness and shows confidence and self-acceptance are the ultimate fashion statements. The campaign’s narrative shifts from open-ended to seductively specific, embracing sexuality and identity.

This campaign also speaks to the evolution of denim as a fabric. No longer confined to streetwear or casual settings, Dsquared2’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection redefines denim as a luxurious material capable of holding its own in the world of high fashion. Paired with accessories like studded belts and oversized boots, the overall look is unapologetically bold, yet surprisingly polished.

Creative director Jonny Johansson highlighted how Willow embodies the essence of a “cultural icon,” a muse who aligns with Acne’s aesthetic, which marries classic tailoring with a raw, modern edge. Johansson’s designs for this season focus on structured pieces, with dresses and outerwear crafted to emphasize shape and texture, while staying true to the brand’s origins with reimagined denim and leather staples.

The campaign brings to life this concept of empowerment through clothing. Smith’s presence in the campaign, showcasing pieces with metallic finishes and oversized silhouettes, is not just a fashion statement but a celebration of individuality and strength. The runway show, set against a backdrop of recycled tire sculptures by artist Villu Jaanisoo, reinforced the brand’s commitment to merging fashion with art, creating a powerful visual narrative.

Sustainability Focus

Acne Studios continues to prioritize sustainability in its production processes. The collection incorporates eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton and recycled polyester, and implements reduced-waste design techniques.

Key Looks

1. Oversized denim jacket with matching distressed jeans
2. Utility-inspired jumpsuit with functional pockets
3. Luxe cable-knit sweater with distressed denim shorts

Inspiration from 90s Grunge

The collection draws inspiration from 1990s grunge, with flannel shirts, high-waisted jeans, and chunky boots making a statement. “I wanted to capture the raw energy of the 90s, but with a modern twist,” Johansson explains.

This season’s Acne Studios collection embraces contrasts: gritty yet glamorous, structured yet flowing, reflecting the versatility of the modern woman. The campaign and collection, as seen on various platforms, are expected to influence streetwear and high-fashion trends alike, as Willow Smith’s influence continues to grow.

You can also explore the collection directly on Acne Studios’ official website.

Experience their collection’s revolutionary approach to denim, where innovation meets sustainability. They’ve reimagined iconic fabrics, transforming archival bandanas into pleated, cracked textures. Double loom weaving reduces waste, while laser distressing creates unique effects. Timeless designs, such as the Play bag and Scrunch D, are reinterpreted. Their debut eyewear collaboration with Luxottica completes the story, showcasing a fresh perspective on fashion’s future.

Diesel’s circular approach tackles fashion’s environmental challenges. Their show set, made from 14,800 kg of recycled denim, highlights the potential of waste reduction. By reusing and repurposing materials, they minimize their ecological footprint. This commitment extends beyond the show, as the entire set will be repurposed, inspiring a more sustainable fashion industry.

“There is beauty in waste, in what is distressed and destroyed. It’s in the circularity of denim waste, and into the distressing that we build into the collection. This is the disruption of Diesel: we are pushing for circularity in our production as hard as we push the elevation of design.” – Glenn Martens, creative director of Diesel

Shayk herself expresses her love for denim, saying, “Denim has always been a staple in my wardrobe. You can never go wrong with a great pair of jeans. Right now, I’m really into the oversized denim-on-denim look. Good American jeans not only look cool but also fit really well and are super comfortable.”

Angel Reese in Good American 

2024 has seen Good American expand its roster of campaign stars. In May 2024, WNBA player Angel Reese joined the brand to highlight their Long Inseam Denim collection, which is tailored perfectly for tall women. Reese’s personal experience playing professional basketball served as a major inspiration for the series of images featuring her. Similar trends can be seen in this campaign, which show the model in an off-duty cityscape setting.

Since its inception in 2016, Good American has evolved from selling just denim to becoming a comprehensive apparel brand. This journey culminated in June 2023, with the opening of their first physical store at Los Angeles’ Westfield Century City Mall, transitioning from an exclusively online presence to a tangible retail experience.

With this latest collection, Good American continues to redefine modern denim, combining high-quality craftsmanship with versatile styles that are perfect for any summer occasion. Explore the new collection on Good American’s website and find your new favorite summer staples.

1) Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of MEIDEA. To what do you attribute this success?

Over the years, we have consistently prioritized extreme quality and concrete innovation, encouraging technical teams to experiment and innovate. Transparency in our work and in our relationships with clients has been paramount, transforming these relationships into true partnerships. Collaborating with various companies, bringing trend analysis, style consulting, product innovation and development, we have also established strong bonds and contributed to the professional growth of individuals.

2) In light of MEIDEA’s vision for denim and circularity, could you elaborate on the significant milestones achieved over the past two decades?

When we started working with dedication on sustainability, we did not find an environment open to change. However, we can say that few companies believed and trusted our vision, bringing concrete results that lasted over time and have led to being pioneers in the sector. We have been working on pre-consumer recycle since 2005; we implemented the use of laser and ozone, to the creation of accessories from recycled materials such as polyester and metal since the early 2000s. We have witnessed the sustainability of communities through photographic storytelling, and through three editions of The Circle Book, collaborating with visionary partners, have amplified our voice on circularity and supply chain tracking.

3) What new initiatives and collaborations were highlighted during the recent event celebrating this milestone?

Video : https://youtu.be/nDBAOR_IzoQ

The presence of our suppliers, friends in the industry and former colleagues highlighted the value of true connections, based on professionalism, kindness and fairness. These relationships are a lasting resource, which fosters the development of innovative projects based on earned trust. We highlighted the power of genuine collaborations based on trust, transparency and passionate work.

4) Could you provide insights into “Shades of the World,” which was a key highlight of the event?

Over the years, we have collected  an incredible archive of photos from around the world, meticulously documenting emerging trends, colors, shapes, nature, and humanity during each trip. By presenting these photos and the stories behind them, our guests were transported to those very places, experiencing the emotions and unique narratives captured in each image. “Shades of the World” will continue to be showcased at other events and fairs as a testament to our passion and dedication.

5) What are the primary strategies and prospects you foresee for the future success of MEIDEA?

MEIDEA is a dynamic entity that evolves over time, with each new collaborator bringing their story and experience, contributing to our continuous transformation. Looking ahead, we will continue our consultancy work, leveraging our unique expertise to drive innovation in companies. Additionally, we are committed to educate and sharing knowledge with the next generation of designers through active collaborations with universities and associations. We are also focused on the growth of our brand BLU’N ME, which draws constant inspiration from our work and embodies our philosophy.

The Denim Revolution by Acne Studios

At the heart of Acne Studios lies a deep love for denim, a sentiment shared by Creative Director Jonny Johansson, who continually seeks to reimagine this iconic fabric. For the Fall/Winter 2023 collection, Johansson embraced the elegance of simplicity and the allure of distressed denim. This campaign redefines the way we perceive Kylie Jenner, placing her in a refreshingly stripped-back environment where she effortlessly flaunts Acne Studios’ latest denim creations.

Kylie confidently sports the ‘2023’ ultra-oversized, unisex jacket, paired flawlessly with the timeless ‘2021’ mid-rise, wide-leg jeans. These pieces reflect the brand’s commitment to timeless style and an avant-garde spirit.

The campaign also introduces Acne Studios’ new accessories line, where Kylie Jenner flawlessly showcases the distressed leather Multi-Pocket bag and the latest seasonal eyewear. These additions complete the effortlessly chic denim ensemble, adding a touch of contemporary flair to the classic denim look.

Carlijn Jacobs, the creative visionary behind the lens, aimed to capture Kylie Jenner’s self-assurance and self-love, introducing the concept of “two Kylies.” The campaign celebrates a woman who is unapologetically in control, fiercely embraces herself, and fearlessly pursues her desires. The visuals convey Kylie’s individuality, emphasizing her self-love and empowerment.

Recycling Cutting Scraps

Prepare to be captivated as Diesel, unveils its highly anticipated fall collection consisting of 28,000 pairs of jeans. What makes these jeans truly exceptional is their construction, utilizing a remarkable 20 percent minimum of recycled fibers sourced from cutting scraps carefully collected from Diesel’s Tunisian supply chain.

Transforming Waste into Fashion as part of their ambitious undertaking, Diesel and the UNIDO are tapping into the immense potential of cutting scraps. By repurposing these seemingly insignificant remnants, they are turning waste into fashion. This innovative approach transforms discarded materials into high-quality jeans, promoting circularity and reducing the environmental impact of textile production.

Tunisia’s Local Business Ecosystem

Enhancing Value and Sustainability, the collaboration has focused on establishing a thriving local business ecosystem in Tunisia, where Diesel’s supply chain is based. By enhancing the value of pre-consumer textile waste, the project empowers the community while championing sustainability. Through effective sorting, recycling facilities can efficiently convert cutting scraps into regenerated cotton fibers, which are then reintroduced into the denim production process.

Witness the transformation of 7,500 kilograms of textile cutting waste from Diesel’s denim production in Tunisia into a remarkable 46,000 meters of exquisite fabric, ensuring the creation of 28,000 pairs of jeans that exude both style and sustainability . A remarkable 4,200 kilograms of waste will be reborn in the upcoming Spring/Summer 2024 collection, solidifying Diesel’s commitment to fashion that respects the planet we call home.

Diesel’s Commitment

For Responsible Living and UNIDO Sustainable Development Goals Diesel’s dedication to responsible living and sustainable practices aligns seamlessly with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. By actively participating in this collaboration, Diesel demonstrates its commitment to driving positive change in the fashion industry. With their shared vision of responsible consumption and production, Diesel and the UNIDO forge a path towards a more sustainable future.

The impact of recycling fibers extends far beyond reducing waste. By incorporating recycled materials into their jeans, Diesel significantly conserves resources such as water, energy, and raw materials. Additionally, the brand actively reduces its carbon footprint and minimizes the release of hazardous chemicals, promoting a greener and healthier environment.

By embracing sustainable practices and promoting circularity, Diesel and the UNIDO are paving the way for a greener and more responsible fashion industry. Together, they are driving change and shaping a future where style and sustainability go hand in hand.
