Diesel Fall Winter 2012 Denim Looks

Diesel Spring Fall Winter 2012 menswear collection is a continuation of the preview collection and its themes of portworker and â€œThe thin line between old and new.â€

Here are some excerpts on what Diesel has to say for their Fall Menâ€™s Collection :

â€œEarly Fall sees tobacco and different shades of indigo predominate. Indigo is used for denim, as well as treated corduroy pants and jackets, while tobacco sits pretty on a number of different jackets. It all has a touch of the great outdoors, particularly in hybrid boots and light bodywarmers. Not to mention the patterned jacquard knits that create warm, unified style across sweaters, gloves, scarves and hats.â€

Burgundy is the new colour of the season. It is used in a variety of knitwear styles, as well as becoming a new Color Exposure shade for denim: the reverse sides of jeans match the new knitwear. Workwear remains firmly embedded in Dieselâ€™s DNA and naturally denim workwear is key to this collection. Whether treated and untreated, plain or striped, textured or smooth, jeans, utility jackets and overalls treat workwear with the respect it deserves.

For early Winter, indigo is joined by gray and green. A bright, eye-popping green is featured on the deliveryâ€™s key piece: unique knickerbockers training pants in patterned knitwear. This idea of making a classic an original â€“ hi-tech performance vintage â€“ is also seen in denim, where grandpa-stripe denim is coated to produce a technical, contemporary workwear look. Outerwear is quite simply premium thanks to a fascinating mix of fabrics, as seen in the hybrid jacket that combines knitwear and fake fur. Winter work apparel is also lined to feel soft and cozy while keeping you warm in the cold.
The final part of the collection takes black and redefines it in a variety of different fabrics: leather, denim, shearling and hi-tech nylon. Add a few touches of gray and white to spice things up and you have clothes that are chic and relaxed. For a Winter rock ook, there is leather in tight jackets and slinky pants, for clothes
in which youâ€™ll want to strut your stuff. Dieselâ€™s redefinition of what denim can be continues with its Color Exposure D.N.A. denim. Featuring delicate handmade treatments that impregnate deep into the heart of the fabric, the insides of jeans become bright features in themselves â€“ using yarn dyed wefts or simply overdyes. Just slip them on, turn up the leg and youâ€™ve got a whole new world of color in your denim life.
Textured Denim:
A new approach â€“ and one that will continue in the future â€“ is the use of textured denim, with herringbone, salt&pepper and grandpa stripes, in treated and untreated versions. In the accessory collection is recognizable the strong and vintage Diesel DNA.

June 2, 2012
Orta Autumn Winter ‘13/14 Denim Collection
Orta Anadolu (Turkey) shall be displaying the Autumn â€“ Winter â€˜13/14 collection at the Denim by PV this week.Â As always, Orta comes with some unique fabrics and collectionÂ and we are presenting here some of the highlights of the same.Â The collection comes under four headers â€“ Vintage Nature, Glitter, Slow Fit and Homeward.

Vintage Nature

Immortal spirit of vintage continues to inspire the Autumn Winter â€˜13/14 collection of Orta . But this time its in more heavy constructions revived with classical shades.

Vintage nature will appeal to denim purists who are looking for the Raw feel with heavy denim weight champions in 13-15oz . The Alchemy finish on the fabrics makes the colors richer and handfeel softer.Â The colors range from Toffie, Caremal , Rosehip, Burlywood and Army green.

Sharkskin

Sharkskin suits were a staple of the 1960s fashion. These suits had a certain shine which made them more appealing to the vintage suit lovers.
Orta sharkskin concept is driven from the idea of that fashion look which is achieved by fabric coating with different hues and hand feel basically on womens and mens stretch constructions. The concept comes in two flavours :
- Angelshark : in bold and smooth with a thin layer of coating in green, bordeaux , grey , brown , navy and other colors.
- Reefshark : where the strong look of denim is visible.
The Orta sharkskins provide a beautfiul sheen with hot press !

Glitter

Motown fashion can be best symbolized by women eveningwear with full length maxi dresses, evening trousers or glamorous halter neck catsuits which oozed Motown glamour.

Orta glitter revives this glamour with a permanent coating technique that keeps sparkle shiny on lightweight denim and flat stretches even after homewash.

Glitter : The Temptations
Temptation as a coating hasÂ silver palette to give a glittery effect on the surface . The glitter is durable to rinse wash.

Glitter : The Supremes

Supremes is colored shiny coating technique with a palette of gold, blue , blackÂ and ice.Â It is also durable to rinse wash.

Slow Fit

Body concious silhouettes have become a major key trend in the market and there is always need for improving quality . Consumers are interested in purchasing jeans that offer a lasting fit which holds the shape after repeated wear and washes.

Continued from last season, Orta takes these fabrics to a higher level with the Dual core technologyÂ and choice of fabrics specially in sateen and new flat constructions. Weights range from 7 to 11 oz and unique treatments like I-core , Slow fit collection once again offers a great versatility with different blends of PES/ Viscose , Tencel, T-400 and fine combed yarns.

Homeward

As a company that incorporates emerging trends and fashion in its denim production, Orta collaborates with artists , designers, vintage dealers and trendsetters in order to share its ever expanding know how.
Capsule packages are the outcomes of this vision. â€˜ Homewardâ€™ is the prequel to â€˜Journeyâ€™ collection of last year and focuses on the 1950s Navy, shore leaves, tattoos , workwear themes and more.Â This collection has been created in collaboration with the Vintage showroom , London.

New Denim Data Sections Launched
We are happy and proud to announce the public launch of new data sections related to denim industry. These sections provide various kinds of information and data related to denim industry worldwide.
To explain better, we have first created a video below from these sections which you can see here and then I can explain what these sections are about ..

Denim Buyers in USA and Shippers Worldwide

This section gives micro information on the shipments made related to denim products from around the world to US . Thus it would be possible to find out which companies in US are buying what denim products from which factories and suppliers around the world . The contacts of buyers and suppliers both would be visible so that the members can benefit from their availability.
Since the data is searchable, it would be possible to see , eg , which are the important suppliers from â€˜Vietnamâ€™ to US or to find the companies in US and around which are buying denim products from China..
We have created the databases since the period starting 2008 mid.

Macro Data on Imports into US and EU
- Want to find out how much were exports of Jeans from Bangladesh to EU in 2005
- or from China to US in 2011 .
- Check this section to know which countries are becoming important suppliers of denim products to these regions. Also find their average export prices and volumes etc.
The data shows shipments made from 2000 to the latest available period and is helpful in sourcing and management decisions.

India Denim Fabric Exports

Our third section deals with checking out the prices and volumes of shipments made by Indian denim mills to countries around the world .. Thus it would be possible to have an idea of fabric prices and trends for shipments made from India . Also, it would be interesting to find the countries where more Indian fabric is being shipped. But , no mills or buyer names would be available in these reports and these would be more of macro reports of statistical nature.

Besides the above three, we also have a denim buyer section where buyers of jeans and denim products from some countries are listed.

The above sections are constantly updated enabling our subscribers to get new info on a regular basis. To get more info on these sections including pricing etc, contact us here

Denmark : Denim Jeans Imports 2010-2011

Denmark , with a population of only about is a small country compared to many other countries in EU with a population of only about 5.5 million . The Danish apparel retail is valued at over $6.5 billion and is sizeable for the country of such a small population. The country has a decent consumption of denim garments due to popularity of denims and it is estimated that the per capita consumption is about 4 jeans per person p.a with over 20 million pieces of jeans sold in Denmark.

So where do the jeans come to Denmark from ?

The jeans most come to Denmark in big quantities from

China
Turkey
Bangladesh

and small quantities from Pakistan , India etc. China enjoyed a market share of about 50% in the total jeans imported into Denmark in 2010. However , within a year , it lost about 4-5% points and the share is being taken up countries like Bangladesh, Turkey, Pakistan and India. This reflects the growing

Lets have a look at the quantities and prices at which the jeans are coming to Denmark from some of the important exporting countries in 2010 and 2011 â€¦

Country	2010( qty in million pcs)	2011 (qty in million pcs)	2010 (Price in Euro/pc)	2011 (price in Euro/pc)
China	10.21	8.76	6.28	6.58
Turkey	5.22	5.44	14.37	16.27
Bangladesh	1.84	2.84	4.21	5.85
India	0.35	0.91	8.50	9.42
Pakistan	0.29	0.34	8.14	9.24

Looking at the table above , it is clear that China is losing market share rapidly due to rising costs. Also, its surprising to see that Turkey is gaining share â€“ reflecting that speedy turnaround and very high quality garments are required for this market and the prices touching Euro 16+ are not less either.
Bangladesh and India are quickly gaining share of the market though the prices that India gets are far above those of Bangladesh.
