BETHANY WILLIAMS

British designer Bethany Williams presents her SS19 collection “No Address Needed to Join” working in collaboration with The Quaker Mobile Library and British publishing house Hachette UK. As with every season the collection is produced from recycled and organic materials.

The materials link closely to the story of books and libraries, utilizing waste product from Clay’s book manufacturing in Suffolk, one of Hachette UK’s printing partners. Bethany has taken the book waste to San Patrignano in Italy and worked alongside the community to weave fabrics mixed from book waste, waste from San Patrignano and donated pre-production waste from mills in Italy.

The objective of the textile production is to promote its traditional artisanal skills, modernise them and develop them to meet the tastes of the contemporary fashion and design markets.

CHEN WEN

Chen Wen is the winner of Top Chinese Fashion Design Award and Golden Top Award.

A collection that combines art, fashion and innovation. A unique kaleidoscope of expression in fabric and denim design is revealed by adopting traditional Chinese Miao embroidery which showcases new highlights of denim garments integrating Chinese and Western elements.

The unique denim fabric by Advance Denim is using SolucellAir a patented technology combining Solucell and cotton to create a sophisticated 3-dimentional hollow channel system inside the cotton fabric. Through its specially designed structure, SolucellAir fabrics become functional, performant and comfortable, but remain natural, being of 100% pure cotton with no synthetic materials involved nor chemicals added.

SolucellAir garments have the following properties: Light Weight, Soft Touch, Moisture Management and ThermoRegulation.

Solucell is a Standard 100 by OEKO-TEXÂŽ certified product.

BLUE OF A KIND

Blue of a Kind believe in the possibility to reconcile uncompromised style, contemporary fit and products with a valuable heritage, together with a sustainable production process.

All products are made exclusively from vintage jeans handcrafted with the use of leftovers and surplus fabric. Their target is zero-impact on the environment, therefore buttons, internal pockets, waist-belt and everything else involved in our work, down to our business cards are made with recycled or sustainable materials.

They do not process any sort of washing, so the colour of the jeans is exclusively the result of years of time and wear.
