New Issue!
NEW YEAR, NEW ISSUE OUT NOW!!
In this issue we take a closer look at the people who make the #jeans we all love. The emerging direct-to-farm initiatives seek to draw attention to the #farmers who grow #cotton.
Evolving legislation may also contribute to making brands and retailers held accountable for their #supplychains as we find out in a case brought to Tesco and Intertek by Thai workers.
Innovation is also fundamentally about people, and we investigate the clever engineering at work at #mills to develop more efficient #recycling processes, and at laser machine makers to develop ever smarter machines.
We have reached out to Tricia Carey, at Renewcell, Amy Wang, at ADVANCE DENIM, Adriano Goldschmied, Mostafiz Uddin and David Tring who share their visions for the future of the industry.
We hope you enjoy the read!

We spoke to Rossella Dal Poz at the start of the latest #MilanFashionWeek. In this conversation she reflects on the problems caused by the over-production of #clothes, and on the best way to manage waste. She also talks about changes in the attitudes of designers, brands and consumers.
"Real consumer demand doesnât match the offer, and thatâs a problem. There is a lot of production that doesnât really need to take place; there is over-production in the fashion industry. When you create a collection and you start to receive orders, you make a forecast to work out how many pieces you will need."

After several years of tentatively stepping into the #genderfree zone, denim is claiming its place as a definitive genderless apparel category. It could even be said that it is reclaiming this position, if you go back to pre-1930s #Leviâs, but women having to borrow their husbandâs or brotherâs #jeans doesnât quite feel the same.
âWe are thinking about future retail spaces, in which a gender-free area should be for all people in love with great denim, with pure and beautiful indigo,â says Handz Jeans co-founder and designer Tilmann WrĂśbel

ISKO Denim holds many patents, specifically in stretch weaving, its dyeing operations are fully automated, and its new garment-making division is equipped with #Industry4.0 machinery and solar panels line its rooftops. These all proceed from its scientific approach to manufacturing and to minimising its impacts. In what is possibly one of the largest denim #manufacturing sites under one roof, it has the daunting task of continually optimising its operations.
âAll of our investments are geared towards #sustainability. It is easy enough to buy sustainable fibres, but if the chemicals used to turn them into fabric are dumped in the environment, that is not good,â says product development manager Erdogan Baris Ozden

Mud Jeans has long found favour with its commitment to bettering the denim ecosystem. When it unveiled 100% post-consumer #recycled (PCR) denim this past summer, though, it showed itself to be once more ahead of the pack. Inside Denim chats to the brandâs CSR officer, Lea Landsberg, to find out more.
"Known as âRoad to 100â, the project sought to spur the development of denim made entirely from PCR #fibres by building upon earlier efforts by the label."

In their quest to reduce the impacts of their products, brands and retailers are quick to promote a switch to more #sustainable #fibres. But #indigo #dyeing is a major industry hotspot that makes headlines when rivers turn blue. Behind the scenes, and beyond the scope of an average consumerâs line of vision, #mills are rethinking their approach to dyeing to save resources at all stages of #denim #manufacturing.

Sarah Bellos, founder and CEO of Stony Creek Colors, says the industry has yet to meet the ultimate challenge, shifting to regenerative processes and materials instead of endlessly depleting finite resources.
"Despite the crises of recent years, I see true resolve and continued efforts to bring regenerative solutions to scale in our industry. Yet with energy costs and inflation rising globally, we know challenging times are far from over. We also know #sustainability is a three-legged stool. How do we support the social and environmental legs when the economic leg is wobbling?..."

The favourite fibre in denim is by far cotton. But cotton-bashing is also a favourite pursuit for brands and retailers that promote hemp as a more sustainable choice. From an agricultural point of view, this claim has real footing. But the impacts of a fibreâs farming are a small sliver of a bigger picture. Zoom out from the field, and the perspective changes. Raw materials that are grown undergo countless transformations and processes throughout the supply chain that may level the playing field between the two âoriginalâ denim fibres.
- âThere is a strong correlation between hemp and denim,â says Alberto Candiani, president of Candiani. âIntegrating just a little bit of hemp in the weft gives a denim fabric a special look and feel.â
