STYLES OF THE SUSTAINABLE DENIM WARDROBE
Nowadays, the denim category is multi-dimensional and dynamic, comprising a wide variety of fibers, fabrics, fits and finishes. This collection is designed to reflect this situation perfectly. Sustainable Denim Wardrobe has been produced to showcase TENCEL® lyocell and Lenzing Modal® branded fibers across a number of garment categories, including wovens and knits, casual and formal, women’s, men’s and unisex.

ALL IN THE FAMILY WITH OLAH
Next up in our “All in the Family” summer series is Emily Olah, from Olah Inc. and daughter of Andrew Olah. Olah Inc. started out as a Canadian textile agency helping factories get their denim wares to market, and evolved over the years to bring its own fabrics and jeans to market. And since that first “We love jeans” party in 2004, Kingpins has expanded to shows in Amsterdam, Hong Kong and cities in China.

LET THERE BE LIGHT: INNOVATIVE LASER TECHNOLOGY
From its inception, environmental responsibility was always a unique feature for TENCEL® branded lyocell fibers, however that counted for very little in those early days. Since the turn of the 21st century, the ethical production of textiles—improving both its impact on workers’ health and on the environment—has become increasingly important.

ARTIST IAN BERRY TURNS OLD DENIM INTO NEW ART
For Ian Berry, a photo is worth a thousand layers of denim. The British artist has made a name for himself by creating works of art made solely out of cut up old blue jeans. Dubbed the “Master of Denim,” the “Jean Genie” and “Jeanius,” it’s clear to most that Berry sees the world through denim colored glasses. Ian is a dedicated artist who was actually named as a “Top 30 Artist Under 30” in the world by Art Business News.
