Flash on Denim


Key points for denim:: source from promostyl
Sophistication through ColorDenim has now been fully integrated in our city wardrobe, either worn with a sleek blazer or any style of tops. This sophistication has been seen through the presence of darker, chicer colors such as indigo or double-dyed darks, giving even more rock-n-roll styles a classier look.As far as colored jeans, light grey has definitely replaced bleached denims. The denim is sometimes made with a polyester thread running through the weave for a silvered effect. In general, the washed out look is achieved through over-dye or sodium treatments, to create a uniformed look on the fabric. A grey flannel emorised finish is a key look for this winter season. Army style denim can be seen in a variety of caramel shades and dark honeys or in washed vegetable dyes. Winter whites continue this season in slightly ecru or sandy tones, in a starched chic sportswear approach.
Sophistication through Fabric With the continued success of the “slim fit” look, elasthane has become indispensable in both women’s and men’s jeanswear. Elasthane can be combined with cotton, cotton/polyester blends or cotton/polyamide blends for a subtle sheen. Lycra is also being used in denim through a process called “Thermolite” developed by LAUFFENMUHLE. Not only does the stretch fiber add comfort, but on black denim, it leaves fine white traces which give the garment a rock n roll feel. Tencel is making a comeback in the casual denim market. Its easy-care properties combined with its subtle feel make it an attractive choice for jeanswear. There are a variety of natural blends, such as linen with denim. There are also more sophisticated blends using silk or cashmere in the luxury casual market. In the same vein is Pima cotton which has a high-end look and feel. TISSAGE DE QUINTENAS has developed flats with an anti-mosquito treatment.
Sophistication through Style - a tailored style with banker’s pinstripe- a casual chic style using the subtle fluidity of Tencel denim- a rock n roll style with leather look denim with metallic touches- a trashy luxe style which has a used, almost dirty look to the denim. This effect is achieved through over-dying with a greenish tone or through enzyme washes.
