Boundary-pushing silk denim
27/11/2024
The denim fabrics are made from a pure silk (demi-shappe yarn) weft, which gives them a soft touch and glow, evocative of 'komorebi'. "This means that the fabrics can have from 35 to 40% silk," Luigi Caccia told Inside Denim.
“The yarns used in this collection blend the ruggedness of denim with the refined qualities of silk. The fabric combines the strength of denim with the elegance, performance and natural quality of silk to achieve a perfect balance between durability and lightness,” commented Cosetex owner Silvio Mandelli.
In addition to being a natural and biodegradable fibre, the presence of silk provides enhanced thermoregulation and odour control properties, he added.
