Beyond Denim exhibitors can submit samples of their denim fabrics for visitors to explore at the display zone. The season’s themes include:
SERENITY: “Nesting at home in a cosy environment is the mood of the moment. Eco-friendliness and sustainability are inherent in casual denim, while corduroy is infused with hemp and Tencel.” Organic cotton, Tencel and linen blends are key to this theme, which focuses on natural fibres and comfort.
RE-MADE: “Fueled by contemporary nostalgia and an obsession with upcycling of past fashion. Saving the planet requires the global intent to reduce, reuse, recycle and remake.” Recycled denim fabrics and vintage effects will give the feeling of upcycled fashion.
CRAFT: “A rich colour palette is gleaned from changing foliage and unique root vegetables. A strong sense of folklore prevails in pattern, fabric and the handiwork of ancient cultural arts and crafts.” Natural dyes and skilled effects such as needle work and applique meet an appreciation for craftsmanship, in this nature-inspired autumnal theme.
NEW AGE: “High-tech features, including shimmer and holographic effects, give denim an edge and appeal, aligning it with street culture and its performative sense of identity.” For standout fashion, high-tech finishing effects (such as reflective, metallic and PU coatings) are predicted to be popular in denim.
