  • Denim PV Coming Up This Week

    Denim PV Coming Up This Week

    After celebrating 10 years in 2017 , Denim Premiere Vision, is back with the fresh players on the board after getting relatively cold response in its previous shows. This edition is going to be the litmus test for the Denim PV and hence the stakes are very high this time.

    Each season for the last 10 years, the show has reinvented itself to better meet the needs of a demanding and versatile industry, and the expectations of brands and of consumers in the constant quest for what’s exclusive and inspiring. This year will be a crucial year for Denim PV as the company has announced its new destination and has made Denim PV’s Paris show an annual event. Denim PV will be organised alternately in Paris, the global capital of fashion, and in a European city with a strong fashion influence. The aim is to encourage proximity with fashion and design markets while offering the sector new sources of inspiration. The venue for May edition is  Parc Floral de Paris.  In this edition , 73 international Denim companies from Europe, USA, and Asia are participating and interestingly there are many new entrants in the list this time also. The list includes weavers, components and accessories manufacturers, clothing manufacturers/denim washers/finishers.

  • Denimsandjeans Vietnam And India Shows 2018

    Denimsandjeans Vietnam And India Shows 2018

    The Summer of 2k18 will witness the Two International Denim Shows hosted by Denimsandjeans.com. After the two consecutive successful shows in Vietnam and One in India , the organizers are going to launch the next editions of both the shows in June and August respectively.

    2000px-Flag_of_Vietnam.svgDENIMSANDJEANS.COM VIETNAM | JUNE 27-28

    Vietnam, being one of the most important sourcing destination , has become the favorite destination for the sourcing heads. The country is already a large supplier of apparel to US and EU and is expected to further grow in the coming years as the pending FTA with EU goes through mid of this year as expected by the authorities.This will bring numerous opportunities for the country to grow itself and play a much larger role as international supplier of apparel globally. Vietnam has currently about  6,000 garment related companies that employ 2.5 million people and exported $28 billion worth of clothes in 2016. Vietnam is the 2nd largest exporter of apparel to the US behind China. Though the free trade agreement with the US and Vietnam (TPP) was chopped by President Trump but Vietnam is still able to produce for their US customers with reasonably competitive price. From a labor cost perspective, Vietnam Garment Industry in 2017 is cheaper than China and Eastern Europe. Vietnam has signed many bi-lateral trade agreements with other countries including Russia recently which in long run benefits the local as well as the International Denim Supply Chain Partners.Vietnam has very favorable trade policies and the labor conditions are very stable as compared to other countries. In the latest Apparel Survey Report released by Mckinsey , Vietnam ranked in top 5 as the best sourcing destinations in the world.

    The 3rd Edition of Vietnam show is scheduled to be held on June 27-28 at Riverside Palace, Ho Chi Minh City , Vietnam . The theme of the show would be ROCK N ROLL bringing into focus the important place that denim occupies in the rock and roll history . Top Denim Mills , Chemical & Dyeing Manufactures along with other supply chain partners will be participating from different parts of the globe including from Vietnam, India, Pakistan, China, Hongkong, Korea , Thailand and Italy.

    1200px-Flag_of_India.svgDENIMSANDJEANS.COM INDIA | AUG 1-2

    World’s largest democracy ,2nd largest market and 3rd biggest economy , Yes ! India is a country of massive opportunities especially in the Retail sector . The country will be touching the magical figure of USD 1 Trillion by 2020 so far as the Indian Retail Industry is concerned. Few decades ago , the country ruled the International Textile Industry and after such a long gap , India is again attracting the International Retailers as the taxation and ease of doing business are becoming more favorable for the foreign investors.

    Denim has been one of the main booming textile segments in India in the past decade. Whereas in 2005 the consumption of jeans in India was less than 300 million pieces, today its almost doubled with an annual growth rate of more than 10%. This gives India the distinction of being the second largest consumer of denim apparel after China. India is set to get a big lead over US and EU in coming years, as its consumption increases in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and consumption reaches about 1 billion jeans in next 5 years !

    The 1st edition of Denimsandjeans India was a great success and witnessed the phenomenal attendances throughout the show. With over 1500 visitors from all the major brands, retailers, buying houses etc in India and some from overseas, it was probably the best aggregation of denim industry in India in a very  long time. The post show report of the last show can be read here. The 2nd edition is scheduled to be held on August 01-02 at Hotel The Lalit , Bangalore. The theme of the show would be DENIM GENDERFREE which seeks to bring focus on the growing trend of creating unisex denim collections.

    ECO WASH

    The company has developed ECO WASH which is more sustainable as it consumes less water and cause minimum harm to the environment. Eco wash is a set of processes, which was finalized with the introduction of ICELITE – washing with dry ice . The company already uses ozone process for aging of pieces without water. Until now, it was done with chemicals and wet processes . The laser is also one of the processes in the EcoWash method  .

    The ice lite processes consists an ice blast with tiny particles that are pumped in order to give the jeans an abrasive finish. The company also calculated some indicators during the development  of these techniques and GLOBAL WARMING was one of those . As per the estimate of the  company reached to this conclusion that if this technique will be used for 100 years , the potential of global warming reduces significantly over by over 50% in relation to garment industry. By using the Eco Wash Method instead of the traditional method , there will be minimal emissions to the air , water and soil .  In Nutshell , this method satisfies the purpose of SUSTAINIBILITY to the certain extent.

    RIGID vs STRETCH

    Rigid is coming back into the fashion but that doesn’t mean that stretch has been fading away , No ! , its not . But Yes ! rigid with little stretch is making its comeback into the International Fashion. Earlier ,there was an assumption which persisted for ages also that men’s jeans have to be ‘manly’ – rugged, tough, weathered and worn , however as fashion evolved ,  choice for men’s jeans shifted from  rigid towards stretch  . Once the stretch came strongly on to the denim  fashion scene , it was everywhere and after a point of time , it was hard to find men’s jeans without stretch. This continued for many years and stretch became the new normal. However, this also started the reverse process ie of finding something that feels comfortable but does not look like stretch.

    Jonathan Cheung, SVP of Levi’s® Global Design said once ,

    “If you pick up a pair, you won’t see that they are stretch, you just see a pair of 501®’s. That’s important. We wanted to make the technology invisible. But the minute you try them on, you’ll feel the difference. It’s subtle, but you’ll feel it,”

    So the question is still there , What are those important factors which matter to consumers while purchasing Men’s Jeans ? Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor conducted an interesting survey in 2015 and according to that , The first and the foremost factor is – FIT and thereafter COMFORT , the two basifundamental factors which are the most important affecting the purchase decision for Men’s Jeans . Inspite of its universal presence , STRETCH is way down the list.Men are , perhaps, subconsciously amalgamating stretch component into FIT & COMFORT.    

    Expert Opinion On “Stretch Denim Or Rigid Denim In Men’s Fashion” By Dr Dilek Erik

    How can you create a rigid look with a stretch denim?

    Basic Requirements

    Elastane  1-2 ( %)  and Elasticity  18-22 (%)

    In order to achieve these ratios:

    Yarn:

    • Thick tread in warp and weft
    • Thicker warp èevident weave
    • More cotton, less elastane  heavier fabric
    • Component warp (with T400, PBT or polyester)- it is important for the recovery

    Weave:

    • 3×1 or BT
    • Open construction (it is important to show the weave)

    Finish:

    • Regular- natural denim look (w/o mercerization)- be careful about elasticity
    • Special finishes- Mercerized or coated- Fixation is very important
