ISKO unveils FW 26/27 at Kingpins: a breakthrough collection blending fiber innovation, circularity, and high performance denim

ISKO’s new FW 26/27 collection explores a diverse and ambitious vision for sustainable denim. With a strong focus on fiber innovation, the collection incorporates organic and regenerative cellulosic fibers, alongside Next-Gen circular materials powered by RE&UP — transforming end-of-life textiles into high-performance fabrics that rival the durability and comfort of virgin fibers.

Among the highlights of the FW 26/27 collection is RECODE DENIM, ISKO’s latest breakthrough in circular denim technology. Built on advanced recycled content and proprietary weaving innovation, RECODE sets a new benchmark for quality, resource efficiency, and scalability — seamlessly integrating sustainability with style.

This season also marks the debut of new fabric technologies that elevate denim’s potential for both performance and creativity:

+ ISKO™ We’Raw – delivers an authentic raw denim aesthetic that resists shrinkage, fading, and distortion, even after repeated home washing.

+ ISKO™ FitWise – engineered for lasting structure and a smart, adaptive fit with zero compromise on comfort.

+ ISKO™ Wondersoft – combines silky softness and authentic denim texture using sustainable fibers like modal and lyocell.

From rich textures to sculpted silhouettes, the collection embraces a deep winter palette — dark indigos, blackened hues, and earthy browns – further elevated by TINTED MANIA, a curated series of tone-on-tone color effects that enrich the visual depth of each garment. Fabric weights range from 9 oz to 15 oz, offering versatility and adaptability across seasonal applications.

ISKO™ Multitouch, introduced in SS26, remains a key fabric concept for the FW 26/27 season.

Known for its ability to deliver multiple textures and finishes from a single fabric, it continues to empower designers with options like 3D effects, permanent embossing, vintage-inspired wash-downs, and soft or firm hand feels – all achieved through responsible finishing processes that reduce environmental impact.

“With this collection, we’re continuing to merge fashion and function – introducing new updates in finishing and construction that reflect the latest industry trends,” said Fatma Korkmaz, Product Development Manager at ISKO. “We see a clear resurgence in demand for stretch, and have focused on delivering smart, adaptive solutions that meet both performance and aesthetic needs.

We’Raw, FitWise, and RECODE Denim aren’t just technical breakthroughs — they embody our vision for the future of denim, where innovation, comfort, and responsibility go hand in hand.”
