Weekday 100% Recycled Denim Collection

Together with Recover©, Weekday launches a collection made from 100% recycled fabrics. The process of producing the fabric starts with post-industrial cotton waste being collected and color separated, so no recoloring is needed. The cotton is then shredded into fibers and blended with recycled polyester, made from recycled PET bottles. Using two different fabrics, the limited edition collection consists of a light knitted cotton for jersey and a heavy woven cotton for denim. The low impact textiles save on energy, CO₂, chemicals and water. And help save PET bottles from ending up in landfills or oceans.

The collection itself is a combination of workwear inspired denim looks and sleepwear, all in neutral tones such as beige, brown, light yellow and red. It’s inspired by the idea of owning your choices; the future is something to be achieved and not something to be taken for granted.

Available from the 21st of March in stores and on the webshop

Stella McCartney

Obviously Stella McCartney had to be on our list. She’s the epitome of how luxury and design go hand in hand with sustainability. From the early ’90s she’s been a pioneer in using alternative materials and cutting-edge technologies.

The SS19 collection was the first one that came out after she bought back Kering’s stake in her business. After seventeen years she can call herself fully independent again. This didn’t translate itself in a break with the past but rather a focus on what she does best: designing a collection for cool, modern women and men.

Recode

The Korean brand Recode is all about up-cycling. All the items in the collection have their own story. Instead of waste, a new culture of value is created. Old fabrics, but also industrial garments such as seat covers and airbags are used to create new designs. The blouse in the picture, for example, is created out of the interlinings of a men’s jacket.
