    Likewise the Denimsandjeans Virtual show’s previous editions – Denim Reunion tried to offer all benefits to the users at par with a physical trade show in the simplest way. Being a boutique and niche kind of b2b virtual trade show, a limited number of suppliers and international designers and consultants from around the globe were invited to showcase their products and services. Buyers primarily from the USA and Europe joined the show besides some other locations.

    Representatives from many US, SEA, and EU brands, factories and retailers including Woolsworth, Levis, Marks and Spencer, Next PLC UK , Myntra, Reliance Retail, Levis, H&M, Group Kaybee, Shahi Exports, Gokaldas Exports, Espirit, Epic Group, Columbia Garments, C&A, Bestseller, and Aditya Birla Fashion have visited the show along with their team.

The complete discussion is available on the official youtube channel of Denimsandjeans.

    Stefano and Maurizio Donadi came together to raise a question about whether we really needed growth ! “Growth: Why?” was an intriguing topic which generated certain important points to ponder over for the industry. This session was the last session on Day 1 and can be watched here.

    Day 2 started with the most awaited denim talk by Dr. Dilek Erik where she presented the “Trend Synopsis for 22-23 Seasons “. The presentation brought out some interesting perspectives on the trends to watch for in 2022-23 . Check out the presentation here.

    De-Brands, the world’s first denim B2B sourcing application and platform, has introduced a lot of new features on the platform to make it more engaging and user-friendly in the past few months. In an extension to this, De brands introduced a new concept of Denim Fabric Sustainability Calculator to rank the denim fabrics of different denim suppliers. It has been long felt that the complete sustainability aspect of denim fabrics have not been brought out in a unified manner for the buyers to understand the entire environmental footprint of a fabric. With DE-Brands’ new Calculator , this missing gap has been tried to be addressed. Sandeep Agarwal, founder of Denimsandjeans & De Brands presented an insightful session, click here to watch this.

    Another very interesting presentation was by Beau Lawrence of his store in Santa Barbara, USA. He took Sandeep Agarwal on a tour of his shop and explained how he was trying to create a 80s service experience for the jeans buyers . Beau is a well known denim expert and runs his ACE RIVINGTON brand for quite some time now and his session “Retailing Like It’s The 1980s” (when service was a thing)” brought out some important aspects of customer service orientation in current times ! Watch the complete talk here.

    The platform and the new engaging features had been appreciated by all the participants and most of them found this a helpful tool to connect with their buyers. There were a number of feedbacks from exhibitors and visitors and these will be worked upon to make the next show even better.

    A session was dedicated to present the latest SS21/AW21 Denim look from different brands .Alongwith some well known retailers , the designs by some upcoming designers caught attention..

    We’d like to thank Cotton Web Limited From Pakistan, one of the leading denim garment manufactures, for being a supporting partner to the Denim Reunion & AW22 Talks.

  • Q&A With Michael Kininmonth About Lenzing’s Modal fiber with Indigo technology

    Q&A With Michael Kininmonth About Lenzing’s Modal fiber with Indigo technology

    The Lenzing Group is enhancing sustainable offerings for the denim industry with TENCEL™ branded modal fibers with Indigo technology. The pioneering Indigo technology behind this new market offering incorporates indigo pigment directly into TENCEL™ branded modal fibers using a one-step spundyeing process.

    This delivers superior colorfastness relative to conventional indigo dyeing whilst using substantially fewer resources. This innovative offering is awarded the EU Ecolabel1 a label of environmental excellence awarded to products meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle.

    Development of Indigo technology to enhance denim sustainability

    The denim industry’s demand for eco-responsible alternatives is growing rapidly, as brands and supply chain partners seek greater sustainability. Lenzing has been working closely with such partners to counteract environmentally harmful denim production processes via the botanic origin of its raw materials and responsible production processes.

    Denim remains an important market for Lenzing, and the introduction of TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo technology is designed to help reduce the ecological footprint of denim fabrics and garments. Produced in Austria, predominantly from beech wood derived from sustainably managed wood sources, this new offering has been designated BioPreferred® by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

    “Innovation is at the core of what we do, from sustainable fiber sourcing through industry-leading features and production processes, with the ever-present goal of safeguarding our environment,” says Florian Heubrandner, Vice President Global Textiles Business at Lenzing AG. “


    By upending traditional manufacturing processes and implementing our pioneering technology along with renewable and eco-responsible materials, TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo technology sets a new benchmark for indigo application and sustainability in the denim industry.”

    To understand more about TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo technology, Sandeep Agarwal from Denimsandjeans had a quick Q&A session with Lenzing Project Manager Michael Kininmonth.

    Q. Modal with Indigo is an amazing innovation. Can you let us know, first of all, why you felt the need for this product?

    Of all the environmental issues that the denim industry is wrestling with, indigo manufacture, indigo dye chemistry, and indigo application have witnessed the least progress. We decided to focus on the area that we could actually influence directly – dye application.

    Q.How does the process of injecting indigo into fiber work. Does it not affect the strength of the fibre?

    In order to form a fiber it is necessary to convert the cellulose into the liquid phase. This is called the spinning dope. It is at this point the coloration is added to make a homogeneous mixture. The dope is then extruded and reverts to a solid form in the shape of a continuous filament.

    The pigment is trapped in the solid structure. Any additive in the dope can affect the final strength of the fiber and so there is always a balance to be struck.

    Q.You mention that crocking is taken care of and the product will not wash down the in-home laundry. Does this not take away some character of Indigo.

    With traditional indigo warp dyeing, control of chemical concentrations and control of machine conditions such as immersion times, tension control, and dye box design can result in an excess of indigo dye deposited on the surface of yarns resulting in poor rub fastness and relatively rapid color loss. In contrast, the indigo pigment and a Modal indigo fiber are entrapped and penetrated to the core.

    There it takes much more wet and dry aggression to start removing pigment. Crocking and home laundry tend to be low aggression activities. More aggressive finishing techniques, physical or chemical, are able to remove color, and so it is possible to achieve a distressed look.

    Q.Have you calculated the reduction in carbon footprint for those who are using this fiber instead of regular indigo dyeing?

    As compared with conventional indigo dyeing, TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo technology typically has a smaller carbon footprint and offers savings of water (99%), chemicals (80%), electricity (99%), heat energy (100%), and wastewater (99%). These savings were calculated by comparing both conventional indigo powder dyeing and conventional pre-reduced liquid indigo dyeing.

    In both cases, we assumed a standard commercial concentration of indigo at 3% on weight of the fabric and a set-up of pre-wetting, warm rinsing, (2 boxes), cold rinsing (1 box), indigo dyeing (6 boxes), and rinsing (3 boxes). We cannot be specific about carbon footprints because that depends on the individual customer energy supply set up (type of fuel for boiler, steam generation, electrical power, etc).

    Q.Do you see a bigger market for such a unique material lies denim or in knits for this innovation?

    Difficult to predict.

    Back in the early 1980s, I worked on the first-ever commercial production of warp-dyed indigo yarn back onto the cone, for use in the knit market. This was patented at the time by IKI (Indigo Knitwear Industries) in the UK. Nearly 40 years on and there is still a limited supply of this type of product available to the market. TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo technology provides an easy route to market and Modal is well established in the knit market and so I see that there is a significant opportunity here.

    For wovens, our Modal Black made headway into the jeans sector some 3 or 4 years ago, particularly into the super soft super stretch product area, so I see no reason why a product with such a great environmental footprint cannot do the same.


    The Denim Re-union- a virtual event to be hosted by Denimsandjeans, is going to witness the presence of some of the leading companies, denim designers and consultants around the globe who’ll be showcasing their innovative and sustainable designs and solutions.

  • New Sustainability Concept With The Debut Collection Science Story By H&M

    New Sustainability Concept With The Debut Collection Science Story By H&M

    H&M has long been dedicated to making positive changes and driving progress with sustainable fashion. The latest initiative, Innovation Stories, sees H&M push further for positive transformation with a directional concept that showcases innovation, sustainable fabrications, and design.

    The first collection to launch under the collective is Science Story, which pays tribute to the brilliant minds behind fabrications of the future. With it, they introduce new materials such as EVO by Fulgar®, a bio-based yarn derived from castor oil, and Desserto, which is a plant-based alternative to leather, produced from cactus plants.

    Key womenswear pieces include the wide-leg bright white jeans with removable double waistband, the lightly-cropped chalk-white shirt with oversized breast-pocket, and the cuffed tracksuit. Energetic and bold accessories are the edgy antidote to the collection’s clean and classic clothing; the chunky necklace with orange swirls and rhinestone detailing, coordinating statement loop rhinestone earrings, high-heeled green strap sandals, and recycled plastic blue sunglasses with a double-lens frame.

    “Innovation Stories is a platform that pushes our experimentation to the next level. The initiative encourages our work with scientists and developers and puts a spotlight on our progressive ideas. Science Story is a homage to the years of research and experiments behind these incredible materials”,

    Ella Soccorsi, Concept Designer at H&M.    

    “Our new concept continues H&M’s journey towards a sustainable and circular fashion system. Innovation Stories allows us to develop and grow, all while creating desirable and long-lasting pieces that we hope our customers will love and be proud of”,

    Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M.

  • Denim Re-Union and AW22 Talks On March 30-31st

    Denim Re-Union and AW22 Talks On March 30-31st

    The impact of pandemic on our industry and lives cannot be overstated. One of the most painful and distressful spinoffs has been our inability to meet in person. The Denim community is a very tight-knit family with most of us knowing each other and have seen each other grow over the years. When we all used to meet during the physical fairs, the energy was abounding and it was wonderful to meet our denim friends, buyers, suppliers, and all. Though we did not think much of it then, now we all sorely miss the personal interaction. Though we all still interact through virtual means individually, the feeling of being together as a community is missing.

    To make up for this missing interaction, our virtual event Denim Re-Union will bring the community Face2Face once again in a large group .  Come meet FACE2FACE with all your friends at one platform- have CHATS and INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS. You don’t need to be forced to remain formal or have business discussions only. We invite and value INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS – and that is what really is done between friends, ain’t it? 

    Besides we will have some cool live AW22 Collection talks by some innovative denim companies and you may want to check them out . 

    DESIGNERS FOR YOU 

    A number of our friends in the denim community have been affected by the pandemic and we want to extend all support to them. We know that most of these people – especially the designers – have great talent which is of great importance to the industry. However, they are not able to use this talent to their full in current circumstances.

    We want to bring such designers to be a part of the show – where they can interact with all visitors and exhibitors and anyone can just reach out to their TABLES in the LOUNGE and meet them! We really hope that this initiative will help bridge the gap between the talent and the talent hunters! 

    Transparency  : The DE-BRANDS AW22 Collection Launch from 7th April 

    We are very excited about the launch of AW22 collections in full detail from over 50 companies globally. This will happen on April 7th at DE Brands platform and you will get a precursor to that event on March 30-31st.

      Up to 8 people can meet inside a booth. Besides an exhibitor can have multiple rooms to cater to more visitors personally. And they can also decide whom they would like to meet and whom not .
    5. Where can I find the Designers? 
      Designers will have 1 table allotted to them as a complimentary service and their logo will show on the table to identify them. This will enable you to visit any designer and have a chat with them. 
    6. If I am a designer and am impacted by Covid, how can I get a Free table allotted to me? 
      You just need to send us your details at mktg1@denimsandjeans.com . However, since the number of tables is limited, we will only be able to accommodate a few only on First Come First Served basis. 
    7. What are the timings of the event? 
      The show will be one day for European customers on 30th March from 3.30PM CET to 6.30PM CET and for US customers on 31st March from 4.30pm CET to 8.30PM CET .
    8. How is this event different from the one on 7th April. 
      Actually, both are connected. On March 30-31, we are providing the facility for a face2face interaction between all the visitors and exhibitors in a casual and informal manner – hence the Denim Re-Union.

      On 7th April, DE Brands (De-brands.com and on iOS and Android) will showcase all the latest AW22 Collections from a large number of global denim companies and you can individually check each product and make your selections.

  • Can Conscious Design Further Circular and Sustainable Design?

    Can Conscious Design Further Circular and Sustainable Design?

    This is a guest post by Makala Schouls. Her bio is given at the end of the article.

    In a recent study conducted by Kearney, only three out of one hundred European brands were making progress towards circularity. The efforts of these three brands should not be minimized, but what about the other ninety-seven? What if the designers at these ninety-seven brands were designing circular products with circular materials? If a designer is not educated on the raw materials they are using, including how the raw materials are made, lifecycle and any recycling or reusable properties, how then will the products they are making will not be circular or sustainable?

    Author: Makala Schouls Milliken

    The current state of the environmental and climate concerns of the planet only reveals that the time to make uninformed choices about materials and their impact on the planet has long passed. There is currently so much good going on in the denim ecosystem both socially and environmentally. Circularity and sustainability are not new concepts in the denim world, but they are becoming more widely known and practiced in the industry. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has established that the key to making circular garments is by focusing on their durability, material health, recyclability, and traceability.

    Progress has been made but real success and lasting change cannot be made with a few stakeholders doing their best to research, innovate, and adapt to new standards. Now is the time for collaboration throughout the industry to overall all of the interactive components of the supply change to truly reveal a new and sustainable, circular denim industry. As a designer, I believe the choices made in the initial creation of new products are extremely important to the success of circular and sustainable garments.

    There has been a resounding call to action to the supply chain to be more transparent and more forthcoming with who they are and how they are making your garment. This same call to action and conscious scrutiny has not yet been warranted to designers. The time has come for designers to step up and embrace the same greater visibility standards. Increased clarity throughout the design process in correlation with the production process will provide traceability and valuable data into a product’s environmental impact through lifecycle assessments. Garments are created from a vast number of raw materials.

    Designers need to be responsible and accountable to be educated on the raw materials they use to create garments. A single, sole entity – manufacturers, brands, designers, consumers, etc. cannot be responsible for all of the knowledge to create impactful change. It must be collaborative partnerships.

    Throughout 2020 so much information was published and made accessible through platforms like DenimsandJeans, Carved in Blue, Kingpins Transformers Foundation, Fashion for Good, and so many more. Raw materials are no longer a mystery and suppliers are held to a high standard to continue to produce more information around their materials and practices and I believe it is now time for designers to do the same. It’s time to come alongside suppliers and manufacturers. If you do not know or understand the material and its’ impact, ask them they probably do. Compare the pros and cons of the options available in the market. If what you are looking for doesn’t exist yet, research it, someone is creating it. 

    Circularity must be implemented at the design stage. If a product is designed circular, it will be circular.  I would like to challenge all designers to invest in themselves and their craft. Together we can truly make denim ethical and circular and sustainable.

  • Ganni X Levi’s Latest Sustainable Collab

    Ganni X Levi’s Latest Sustainable Collab

    Levi’s and Ganni released their latest collab where iconic Levi’s® styles meet playful GANNI signatures Timeless, responsible styles made to last, crafted from cottonized hemp – a cotton alternative that requires 70% less water to produce, to push the idea of a more sustainable future.

    Featuring standout denim dresses, limited edition prints, and playful design signatures like our peter pan collar, the collection is available to shop from February 24 onwards and this is the 2nd time when GANNI and Levi’s came together and launched a collection.

    “One of the great things about working with the Levi’s team has been our shared ambition to create a responsible product,” Ditte Reffstrup, creative director of GANNI, tells Teen Vogue. “The hemp used to make the fabric is all rain feed with a proven lower footprint than conventional denim, traditionally made from cotton. The cottonized hemp is so soft and luxurious in feeling, you honestly can’t tell it’s not conventional denim.”

    The price bracket of the collection ranges from $115-$475 USD and will be available on GANNI.com and Levi.com , offline it will be available at Levi’s and GANNI stores globally and select partners.

    Note from Editors : Though we appreciate the initiative taken to use more sustainable materials in the denim clothings, we do not believe that without disclosing how much of it have been used and on what standards can the collection be termed as sustainable , the use of this terminology be avoided .
