Fall Winter 2020 Collection By Naked & Famous Denim

The luxury Canadian denim brand , Naked & Famous known for its raw denim in the global market has launched its FW2020 collection. Naked & Famous was founded in 2008 by Brandon Svarc , a Canadian native with family background connected in denim industry from over 65 years.The philosophy of the brand lies in the Japanese raw denim. They have launched various innovative collection in the past and now has come up with another selvedge denim collection this season. The â€œDenimâ€ version of Japanese culture has been portrayed in the designs. Let us have a look at the different designs:

TATAMI DENIM

Tatami is the name of the woven straws used for flooring in Japan , even used in the Martial Art training. This Rope-dyed Japanese indigo concept is now made to produce denim by the brand. The Tatami Denim is for people who love fabrics and want something different than denim. They replaced the straw with indigo-dyed cotton yarns, which are woven loosely across the face of the fabric to produce a fascinating design in the denim .

OKAYAMA SPIRIT 4

The Okayama Spirit series is made to pay tribute to the decades-long attention to denim craftsmanship in Okayama. It represents how the individual yarns are spun.To create such a richly textured fabric, the individual cotton yarns need to be spun at different speeds: slow speeds yielding thickness or â€˜slubsâ€™ in the yarn and faster speeds yielding thinness. These warp yarns are rope-dyed in indigo vats over and over again until they achieve a dark shade of indigo, but because of the shape of the yarn, the indigo doesnâ€™t absorb evenly. Then master craftspeople using low-tension weaving on old shuttle looms turn the yarns into rolls of Japanese selvedge denim. The brand has created a new evolution in denim industry with this series.

HUNTSMAN SELVEDGE

The Huntsman Selvedge features a warm and earthy tones that can be traced to the multicolor twisted â€œmÃ©langeâ€ weft yarns made from 12% Merino wool. The Merino-blend yarns run the spectrum from yellows to oranges to browns, which provides a more natural, old-world complement to the indigo. The Merino blend has many benefits like – It breathes. It insulates. It resists odors. It is soft to the touch. So , the brand took care of your feelings and created this series.

BLACKEND STEEL DUCK SELVEDGE

â€œDuck Canvasâ€ is used to refer to the heavy fabric used primarily for outerwear and protective workwear garments. The brand has come up with this durable fabric which is used in everything from ship sails to furniture upholstery. What makes Duck Canvas so tough is its construction, tightly woven 2×1 plain weave, two exterior-facing warp yarns go over each single interior-facing weft yarn. This creates a smooth surface that will not pull or rip easily. This product is a 10oz Japanese selvedge duck canvas dyed with a blend of steel grey and black.

Some Designer Looks For FW20

Some of the designers ,who are not so well known for their denim designs ,also created some interesting looks for Fall Winter 2020 denims. Though the seasons have gone for a spin due to Covid, it would be interesting to see what these designers came up with and we are sharing their designs in this post.

Jacquemus

Simon Porte Jacquemus is a French fashion designer and the founder of the Jacquemus fashion label. He was 20 years old when he created his brand Jacquemus, his mother’s maiden name. He promoted his designs by having friends wear his creations in shops during Vogue’s Fashion Night Out in 2010 in Paris.

Telfar

Ten years after Queens native Telfar Clemens launched his eponymous fashion brand, he got on a plane to Hong Kong to begin the process of creating its 25th collection. He went to the island city looking for inspiration, but settled as he has over the past years, on his “simplex” theme, which takes basics like polos shirts and denim jeans and deconstructs them into his own mutated aesthetic.

AMBUSH

A decade ago, Korean-American jewellery designer Yoon Anh was just a jobbing graphic designer spending her downtime making experimental trinkets for friends. Today, her ‘passion project’ is one of the hippest streetwear brands â€” Ambush – that’s seen on rappers like A$AP Rocky, Skepta and Kanye West. The name for her label came about as her desire and mentality to “take people by surprise.”

Ahn tries to use comfortable fabrics and create a relaxed attitude while keeping silhouettes streamlined and urban. She wants to push her denim collection further as she has done an extensive research in Kojima – the Japanese denim capital. She created interesting doubled-up jackets and cloud effect denims in jacquard.

AMIRI

Mike Amiri is an American/Iranian fashion designer who began his career handcrafting stage pieces for iconic hard rockers such as Axl Rose and Steven Tyler. His rock â€˜nâ€™ rock aesthetic led him to design an exclusive capsule collection for the LA-concept store, Maxfield, marking the launch of his eponymous luxury fashion line, AMIRI, in 2014.

He created some interesting looks on denim designed to look luxurious with some leather belts creating large checks on denim in an odd kind of way. Besides, some cool distressing on jeans can be seen.

The most important feature of the new collection is that Calik Denim will be unfolding its completely new approach to sustainability with the new collection AW 20/21 by addressing sustainability from a wider perspective. The brand announced that it stopped creating â€œoutsiderâ€ eco friendly concepts, instead the brand started adopting the D-Clear technology to whole collection, which has great saving scores in dyeing and finishing processes. Due to the unique technology, compared to traditional denim, D-Clear uses 40% less water in indigo dyeing and 83% less during the finishing process, thus reducing water consumption by over five litres per metre of fabric produced. In addition, it will also reduce the volume of chemicals used per metre of fabric from 150 grams to 9, meaning a reduction of 94%. D-Clear technology has been used in 10% of the new collection. Calik Denim commits to implement D-Clear technology in its collections up to 50% by 2020, 75% by 2023 and %100 by 2025.

This season Calik Denim introduces us future trends through its prominent concepts.

Selfsized was initially launched in the SS â€™20 seasonÂ with its unique feature that one single size jean can fit a wide range of different sized wearers perfectly due to its ultra-high elasticity and cotton for maximum comfort and softness.Â With this feature, Calik Denim feels that the customers minimise the risk of buying wrong size jean â€“ especially for the online shoppings. What makes the this concept different than SSâ€™20 season is that Self sized fabrics have more options withÂ premium look with soft handle. In the new collection, Calik Denim will be showcasing more authentic denim look fabrics with salt & pepper effects and vintage washes. Besides, Selfsized concept will also be an option for the men in the new season with its masculine look, thanks to its slubby surface. All Selfsized denim have also been developed with Calik Denimâ€™s T-Power technology to eliminate elastane yarn slippage as per Calik.

The fashion industry have been witness to see smooth surfaced leather look pants especially for men recently. To meet this demand in the denim industry, Calik Denim developed Colorart concept which presented in SSâ€™20 season firstly. Colorart offers lightweight fabrics with high performance and close texture, making the fabric the perfect choice for sportswear. With the new collection, Calik Denim will be launching the concept with the combination of leather touch and matt appearance in a palette of black, burgundy and navy blue.

One of the pioneer technologies in the denim industry belongs to Calik Denim, Fly Jean, will maintain its importance for the athlejean story in the fashion industry. Fly Jean, creates a new chapter in the story of athlejean:Â athleisure + jean, the lightest ever fabric family offers exceptional flexibility and creamy softness, making it the perfect athleisure wear. Jeans made of Fly Jean fabrics always retain their shape. The first-day shape lasts forever so no baggy knees or seam slippage. This fabric family is also compact enough to fit even in an umbrella case. Calik Denim will be launching in the new collection Fly Jean with an additional shiny coated fabric family which has high elasticity and lightweight.

The rapidly changing climate conditions affect the expectations of the end consumer; as well as being stylish, the efficiency of the technical features is now important. Referring to this demand, Calik Denim will be showcasing a brand new concept named Puff Up in AW 20/21 collection. With Puff Up, Calikâ€™s aim is to provide comfort, soft handling and warm feeling inside the fabric as well as providing visual elegance and authentic look.
