Planet REhab: Collaboration for Change
About Planet REhab
Planet REhab is a capsule collection produced by an international partnership of textile and apparel companies committed to reducing their impact on the environment. The companies recognize that achieving their goal requires both working collaboratively and responsibly – seeking out more sustainable raw materials, implementing new technologies and employing processes that reduce resource utilization and waste.
Juan Carlos Gordillo womenswear designs reflect the soulful latin inspiration for the Planet Rehab collection using fabrics from Tejidos Royo with TENCEL™ and TENCEL™ x REFIBRA™ branded lyocell fibers. The fabrics were dyed using Recycrom technology from Officina+39 and the resultant garments finished by Tonello. The aim of Planet REhab collection is to illustrate that fashion can be both responsible and beautiful given the right supply chain partnerships
About the Collaborators
- Juan Carlos Gordillo has a pure and eclectic style that characterizes the young and talented Guatemalan designer. His view does not follow trends: everything is down to his creative instincts, which are deeply routed in a passion for country-style aesthetics and in a true commitment to leave the world better than we found it. Several of his collections have been highlighted on the Vienna Fashion Week runway.
- Lenzing’s TENCEL™ and TENCEL™ x REFIBRA™ branded lyocell fibers enhance the sustainability of the fabrics. Made from renewable wood in a closed loop, energy and resource efficient manufacturing process, TENCEL™ fibers and TENCEL™ x REFIBRA™ fibers made with recycled cotton scraps provide the fabrics with softness, smoothness, tenacity, and color intensity.
- Spanish fabric producer, Tejidos Royo, creates “fabric with values” through the company’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The vertically integrated manufacturer has substantially reduced its energy consumption and CO2 emissions through aggressive R&D and provides complete transparency and traceability for customers. More than two decades ago, their technology allowed them weave articles with 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell branded fibers. Tejidos Royo was a pioneer in the development of this type of fabric.
- Officina+39’s Recycrom dyes are made from recycled clothing and textile scraps that are specially processed by these Italian experts through a sophisticated production process using only sustainable chemicals. Waste fabrics are crystalized into an incredibly fine powder that can be used as a pigment dye. Recycrom was awarded the Hightex Award at Munich Fabric Start for Autumn/Winter 17/18.
- Laundry specialist, Tonello, also based in Italy, contributes their All-in-one system to the project. Born from ideation with designers and customers, Tonello’s revolutionary washing process significantly reduces the water and hazardous chemical consumption typically associated with denim finishing.
