UNEXPECTED­LY TRANSFORME­D

- BY MANON MANGIN, PRODUCT MANAGER FASHION DEPARTMENT, DENIM PREMIÈRE VISION

This A/W 23-24, denim embraces the beauty of the journey. It reinvents its own steps, for a renewed image. Past creations aren't forgotten but celebrated and transforme­d. Recycling used items, drawing materials from local recycling loops, and upcycling textile surplus.

The season con"rms the sustainabl­e prerequisi­tes of denim, which is grounded in transparen­t product methods and the importance of traceabili­ty.

We don’t replace what is damaged. We celebrate damaged items as they acquire a new beauty as they

deteriorat­e. Everything changes and nothing is to be discarded now: repairing means cherishing, revisiting creative potential, forgoing the word “waste”, tracing out new pathways and showing the origins. Constant evolutions and continuous change imbue denim with a new multifacet­ed, chameleon-like dimension. Unexpected is the key word this season: both creative and visual. Nothing is ever quite what it seems. Once transforme­d, denim can become everything else. Denim Première Vision will be at Arena Berlin, May 17-18, 2022.
