Amsterdam’s denim show, featuring youth-driven colours and contrasts, vintage-inspired washes and stripes, and long-lasting, soft-on-skin classics.
Distinctive weaves
Give denim structures exaggerated minimalistic looks with clearly defined, prominent constructions.
Fibre and yarn: opt for GOTS-certified and recycled cotton, blending with GRS polyester when necessary.
Colour and finish: mix light and dark using patched effects and the reverse of fabrics. Exaggerated constructions and thicker yarns will show off the contrast between tones.
Construction and weight: play with 4/1 and 6/1 twills, herringbones and jacquards.
Mariner stripes
This vintage-inspired story works classic stripe constructions into bases, developing Softened Stripes.
Fibre and yarn: source recycled and certified-GOTS cotton, blending with Tencel, traceable linen and hemp. Pakistan’s Sapphire develops a cotton linen base with natural slubs.
Colour and finish: keep tones soft and mariner-inspired, looking at ecrus, browns, blues and greens. Play with regulated spacing with vintage ticking, railroad, deckchair, yachting and boating stripes in printed, yarn-dyed and laser techniques.
Construction and weight: use plain weave and twill constructions, Weights range from 4-12oz.
All-over florals
Pull references from our Hothouse Florals story for all-over botanical patterns.
Fibre and yarn: source regenerative, GOTS-certified and recycled cotton, and certified viscose and Tencel for softness.
Colour and finish: create surface patterns through finishing techniques such as laser, printing and embroidery and play with different scales.
Construction and weight: use twills and sateens for bases and jacquards for more complex designs, Weights range from 7-13oz.
