Denim
ISKO’s 2022 Collection Vol. 2 unveils new technologies and fabrics that will continue to shape the sustainable future of denim.
The leading denim ingredient brand presents the second chapter in the company’s ongoing drive to design and produce the most creative, inspiring and pioneering products for the industry – always with a total commitment to Responsible Innovation™.
In keeping with everything ISKO develops and produces, 2022 Collection Vol. 2 has been created using the company’s principles of Responsible Innovation™ and is made entirely with ISKO’s revolutionary R-TWO™ technology. This reflects ISKO’s strong commitment to rethinking production strategies, increasing transparency and avoiding waste at every stage. Certified to Textile Exchange credentials, the R-TWO™ fabrics in 2022 Collection Vol. 2 ensure complete traceability of raw materials from field to final product. Using a blend of reused and recycled materials, they help decrease the usage of raw materials and improve sourcing efficiency, while preserving all the properties and benefits of each product. R-TWO offers a simple way for companies to switch from virgin to reused and recycled materials for all products in ISKO’s collection.
In order to address the ongoing need for comfort, the collection takes much-loved ISKO innovations and adds sustainable updates for today’s consumer. For example, Jeggings™ stretch technology continues to deliver the ultimate, flattering skinny-look aesthetic with an extra twist of comfort and is now available in a new, sustainable version which uses up to 50% recycled material. This significant increase is the result of ISKO’s work towards developing fabrics with a guaranteed minimum 50%+ recycled content blend.
ISKO™ COMFORT combines denim's authentic look with added stretch to deliver comfort and hold with the familiar feeling of well-worn jeans. ISKO has increased the recycled material content to over 50% – a marked boost that adds to a fabric’s sustainable credentials, whilst maintaining a soft cotton hand feel. The increased recycled content has the added bonus of making a fabric wrinkle resistant and quick to dry. ISKO COMFORT™ is now available in two new color options, Horizon Black and Horizon Navy. These colorways are created using an innovative dyeing process that keeps dust away from the fabric and never fades, ensuring the color stays brilliant.
The 2022 Collection Vol. 2 further explores the four lifestyles introduced in ISKO’s Vol. 1 collection – Denim Lovers, Simplify, ISKO™ Comfy and Euphoria – building on a collection of glorious color options and technical features to provide further inspiration for designers and brands to suit a myriad of different vibes and moods.
DENIM LOVERS – where denim harks back to its roots.
Encompassing a unique combination of original constructions and stretch technologies such as ISKO Recallâ„¢ and ISKO Reformâ„¢, Denim Lovers maintains the original legacy of denim, without compromising on comfort and freedom of movement. Catering to denim aficionados, the lifestyle adds modern twists to vintage-inspired washes. For example, pure indigo shades are incorporated, ranging from blues to blacks, which create a naturally green cast for an authentic, vintage look. Denim Lovers offers textile solutions that perfectly suit anything from polished workwear to 80s vintage looks.
SIMPLIFY – the new level of basic.
Comprised of pared back, clean and classic looks, this lifestyle brings together some of ISKO’s best-selling stretch, comfort and rigid fabrics, giving a breadth of versatility to satisfy a wide range of fits and needs. Simplify offers a large selection of shades – among these, ISKO EFD™ technology, which starts with an ecru-coloured base and can be dyed to any colour, from the palest pastel to the most vibrant tone.
ISKO™ COMFY – when comfort and fashion become one and the same.
Focused on loose silhouettes and sporty fits, this lifestyle is all about feeling comfortable and fashionable, whether you’re working or lounging at home or going out and about on the town. The fabrics are soft and drapey with a cool, luxe vibe that looks effortless. ISKO Bluejym™ perfectly embraces this mood by preserving the original look of denim, while offering the feel and comfort of a knitwear solution. This technology is particularly suitable for oversized silhouettes. The range features washes with luxurious touches, such as metallic finishes and soft rinses, and more youthful, modern examples such as eco-bleach, crazy dyeing and colorful garments.
EUPHORIA – denim meets high-fashion.
The Euphoria lifestyle takes inspiration from the world of high fashion, with a nod towards both the directional, fashion-forward styles and polished, sophisticated looks seen on the catwalk. Versatile and eclectic, it includes foils, glitters, cheerful styles and bold coatings resulting in unique options to experiment with creativity. With the look and touch of leather and the fit and feel of real denim, ISKO Jeatherâ„¢ is the perfect expression of this lifestyle. A vegan alternative to leather, this fabric has great stretch for a figure-hugging, flattering fit and is available in a range of finishes (from matte to shiny and glitzy) and weights, making it a year-round favorite for streetwise fashionistas.
