Berry

As natural dyes continue to trend, softened purples and berry shades emerge as a key fall color.

Cone denim took their cotton/ TENCEL™ mix, an open and fluid rigid, and sent it to MN Dye studio, a natural dye artist based in the Catskills, NY.

Advance continue with their ‘Big Box’ dye process to achieve a number of beautiful shades. Big Box reduces water consumption by 95.5%, wastewater emission by 99%, chemical consumption by 35%, gas emissions by 44.3% and electricity consumption by 25.5%.

Other mills explore coatings instead of overdyes and aggressive washes, to achieve the same high-low effects with less water, chemicals and energy. Fabric bases range from nostalgic, chunky 3x1’s to tighter, high stretch denims.

RUGGED

The core roots of denim are durability, protection and function. This story explores those themes through an archival lens, with vintage weaves, familiar finishes and authentic character at the fore. A true midwinter story, Rugged explores new technology such as thermoregulation and water resistance to endure extreme weather. Workwear inspired colors, traditional plaids and time-worn orange peel surfaces add a touch of nostalgia.
