Crafting a better future for denim
At Kingpins Amsterdam this October 23–24, Hyosung, the world’s largest manufacturer of spandex by market share, will showcase its customized denim textile solutions to the denim community. Hyosung offers the widest variety of stretch fiber offerings under its CREORA® Spandex and regen brands.
Hyosung will present a number of cutting-edge stretch options for denim, including an enlarged version of it regen BIO Spandex line that includes the new regenTM BIO Plus and regenTM BIO Max Spandex, both of which are manufactured with a greater percentage of renewable resources. Additionally, the company will display its 100% recycled, RCS-certified regenTM Spandex, which is made from industrial waste; CREORA® Slip Free Spandex, which improves seam slippage and reduces waste; and CREORA® 3D Max Spandex, which offers excellent stretch and recovery with a very small amount of spandex content, allowing the garment to be recycled*.The Jeans Redesign Project is the source.
Simon Hong, director of Hyosung Global Denim Marketing, stated that “sustainable strategies vary widely among brands—whether it is recycled, bio-based, or recyclable—so it’s important to provide solutions to meet their individual needs.”
Apart from showcasing its novel denim textile solutions during the event, Hyosung is still a sponsor and advocate of the Kingpins Future Fits Forum. Together with the Kingpins crew, it will adorn the Kingpins BOXES on exhibit with avant-garde clothing composed of laser-washed artwork and Levi’s 501-iconic fit deadstock. On Wednesday, October 23 at 1:30 PM, the firm will also conduct the Future Fits Forum, a conference discussing denim fashion trends for the next five years.
Hyosung is introducing a new project as part of its dedication to the Kingpins Future Fits program, in which it will showcase swatch samples created with planet-friendly spandex from partner mills that are also participating in the event. Voting will be available for visitors to select the sample that best embodies environmental sustainability. Clothes for the upcoming Future Fits Forum will be made from the textiles with the highest score.
