Neovintage by ISKO

ISKOâ„¢ (Turkey) presented at Denim by Première Vision the special “Neo Vintage concept“. Neovintage reflects the combination of vintage story with high-tech finishes. The effect of usage throughout the years are given to the fabrics with the help of unique treatments: Turbotechâ„¢ patented by ISKOâ„¢.
With the special weave and indigo dyeing process, the garments made with Turbotechâ„¢ quickly take on a vintage, stone-washed effect look that’s always changing. After a few washes the garments fade.
Neovintage is one of the most important concept which ISKOâ„¢ really keen on. Fabrics are constructed by old yarn characters and latest ISKOâ„¢ finish techniques applications and they offer a dirty, shadowy look that meets a techno touch and natural brightness with vintage construction.

One example is the creation of school uniforms for children in Sierra Leone. Since 2005, Orta has been pursuing a number of “Best Practices” in energy and water conservation. The most visible result is a notable decrease in energy consumption per unit of production. A review of energy records shows a roughly 20% reduction in electricity and gas per metre of denim produced.

US Denim Mills: a forerunner in the field of sustainable denims

US denim mills is a denim company from Pakistan with great products.The company has been working hard to optimize the idea of recycling denim. The first ideas of recycling old jeans proved to be impractical for various reasons, mainly consistency. The use of waste from the denim cutting tables proved to be more controllable and more consistent. This reprocessed fibre is used to spin yarn that is reworked into denim. The recycled yarn also requires new dyeing techniques, resulting in unique denim with a unique cast.
