Amsterdam’s denim show, featuring the latest denim directions, highlighting sensorial textures, nods to vintage classics and sculptural 3D forms

Indie Dark

Feed into The New Indie aesthetics for moody and dark launderies.

Fibre and yarn: source rigid or low percentage elastane of GOTS-certified, regenerative and certified recycled cotton.

Colour and finish: create smokey colour for depth and new dimension, using low-impact washing, laser, pigment sprays and overdyeing techniques. For shine, opt for water-based coatings.

Construction and weight: use twill constructions with weights ranging from 7-13oz.

Vintage Blue

Slubbed texture and soft handles give an authentic vintage denim favourite.

Fibre and yarn: source for Tencel lyocell, modal, recycled and GOTS-certified cotton. Allow for slubs to give character in the finishing process.

Colour and finish: use washed-down, light to mid-blues to ensure a nostalgic feel. Opt for a green cast for a retro, toned-down look. Slubs allow for a crosshatched effect.

Construction and weight: stick to classic twill constructions with weights ranging from 8-13oz.
