Raft of announcements from Isko
Denim producer Isko has unveiled new collaborations, a recycling initiative and its most sustainably focused spring-summer 25 collection at PV Denim, under way in Milan.
Adriano Goldschmied’s latest collection is made in collaboration with Creative Room Italia, the Isko R&D hub, and is inspired by the 18th century. It uses Ctrl+Z fabrics – made entirely from recycled or regenerated fibres - using recycled polyester, recycled cotton and regenerated cellulose fibres.
The new ISKO Luxury by PG collection was designed without a specific seasonality or gender in mind. The four new capsule collections - Blob Trotters, Glamour Rock, Aurum Denim and ChArmy - were designed by creative director Paolo Gnutti.
Red Rags Waste is a 6-piece collection by Creative Room Italia, inspired by historical and iconic denim pieces. While using paper patterns of the most historical garments, the collection is made with Ctrl+Z fabrics with minimal waste.
Isko’s SS25 collection is entirely Ctrl+Z, including a new option of regenerative cotton. It has also updated some of its classic denims: ISKO Reform 100, this season is available in either a white or black viscose weft; and Jeggings with the addition of Tencel fibres.
Re&Up is a new company that focuses on textile-to-textile recycling technology involving mechanical and thermo-mechanical recycling. It can provide its clients with in-store solutions for collecting clothes. Isko’s goal is to recycle 1 million tons of textile waste through the Re&Up platform.
ISKO CEO Fatih Konukoglu said: “We firmly believe in the need to reduce the reliance on virgin raw materials by boosting the use of recycled ones, thus improving sourcing efficiency throughout the entire field-to-fabric production. Our cutting-edge programs effectively help in tackling over-sourcing, which is today the leading issue when it comes to the waste hierarchy. We are really happy to be here at PV Denim and to show what we have to bring to the table: innovations, collaborations, fashion, the whole package”.
