This time its the STAQ(CKI)NG EFFECT IN JEANS !. It continues to modernize its denim range with the creative consultancy of innovative designer and visual artist, Aitor Throup. The inventive technicalities behind the stacking effect that gives the jeans their name are characteristic of both G-Star and Throup.

The way to achieve this stacking effect is by having a continuous tape runs down the inner and outer seams of the jean legs, tacked in specific places, creating the iconic three-dimensional aesthetic.

Staq :

The Staq jean is a hybrid of traditional jeans and chinos. The latest evolution in 3D Denim, the Staq uses a new method of 3D construction with an internal taping system that creates its 3D structure and â€˜stackedâ€™ leg â€“ an effect labelled by young denim heads when jeans naturally gather at the lower leg.

Features :

Engineered with deeply rippled stacks that rise up the legs, the Staq is the next generation of 3D denim. Thanks to specially engineered seams, the Staq keeps its crumpled texture regardless of wear and laundering.

- Regular waistband
- Long rise
- Narrows from thigh to hem
- Button fly
2.Fabric :

SPINEL DENIM

The Staq 3D Tapered is cut from authentic 3X1 right hand denim with a deep indigo base-shade and dry hand-feel.
- Medium weight 12.7 oz denim
- Classic, longwearing construction
- Singed, pre-skewed and pre-shrunk
- 100% cotton

Google and Levi’s Present The First Smart Jeans For Urban Cyclists : Project Jacquard

Continuing our previous report on Project Jacquard by Google and Levis , its heartening to know that Leviâ€™s is taking its collaboration with Google ATAP to the next level by introducing a commuter denim jacket. The collaboration, which comes under Project Jacquard, works toward establishing a new, scalable system which weaves technology components into standard fabrics and textiles.

The jacket was announced on 20th May, 2016 at Google I/O, the result of a year-long effort between the Leviâ€™sÂ® Innovation team and Googleâ€™s Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group under the banner of Project Jacquard.

The discreetly placed Jacquard technology is literally woven into the jacket, allowing for simple gestures like tapping or swiping on a sleeve to activate functionality. Of course you can wash it, just like you do with any other jacket. This perfect pairing showcases the knowledge and know-how of Google ATAPâ€™s Jacquard team with the performance power of the Leviâ€™sÂ® Commuter line, which is designed to perform as great as it looks. The Jacquard team then adds a smart tag â€” which looks like a normal jean jacket button â€” to provide feedback to the user. The smart tag would be the equivalent to a smart watch; it’s packed with LEDs and haptic sensors to alert of phone notifications and such. Levi’s mainly advertised the jacket for urban bike commuters, but it seems ideal for anyone, since it looks like any other Levi’s Commuter jacket.

â€œAnyone on a bike knows that navigating your screen while navigating busy city streets isnâ€™t easy â€“ or a particularly good idea,â€ said Paul Dillinger, head of global product innovation for Levi Strauss & Co. â€œThis jacket helps to resolve that real-world challenge by becoming the co-pilot for your life, on and off your bike.â€

During last yearâ€™s Google I/O conference, the Leviâ€™s brand became Google ATAPâ€™s first partner on Project Jacquard, which credited the brand for being authentic, innovative and fashionable.

Our innovation story began with the invention of the blue jean, which turns 143 years old today, but that was merely the first chapter. From the debut of the first jeans for women in 1934 to the revolutionary work that goes on in our Eureka Innovation Lab today, Levi Strauss & Co. brands are constantly innovating to solve the needs of our consumers.

The Leviâ€™s^Â® Commuterâ„¢ Trucker jacket is expected to be available beginning spring 2017 in select Leviâ€™sÂ® stores and on Levi.com.

The future of Turkey’s denim sector depends on its efforts in marketing and promotion. Production needs to be enhanced, and the country must make a stronger stand in global markets and participate in international events in order to maintain its position in the EU market. With its major fashion jeans brands such as Mavi, LTB, Colinâ€™s, Rodi Mood, Loft and Collezione, Turkey should develop other brands and products that have the potential to conquer new markets in the US, EU, Africa and Asia. Export figures for the last six years show that not only does Turkey have the capacity, but also that that it has the capability to produce high added-value products.
