Carved in Blue at Kingpins
This fall, Lenzing’s Carved in Blue was pleased to present their latest ideas and connect with brands, mills and denim trade innovators at Kingpins, both in Amsterdam and New York.
Our message at Kingpins was simple; Carved in Blue = Comfort + Nature + Technology. Comfort because of the unmatched softness and remarkable flexibility TENCEL® and Lenzing Modal® fibers bring to textiles. Nature because of Lenzing’s highly sustainable processes used to create the fibers. And lastly, technology because of the cutting-edge innovations and collaborations that make Lenzing fibers possible and the incredible technical fabrics and garments that use TENCEL® and Lenzing Modal®.
Lenzing’s hot new showcase at Kingpins was Future Black with Lenzing Modal® BLACK, a fiber that has black pigment added in the dope stage before extrusion production for incredible color fastness. Carved In Blue spoke with Vancouver label, Dish & DUER, who is using Lenzing Modal® BLACK for their upcoming “Never Fade” collection.
While in New York, Carved in Blue caught up with host of Kingpins’ “In The Know,” Amy Leverton, to ask her more about her upcoming book Denim Dudettes. We also spoke to a member of the next generation of consumers at Kingpins for our “Denim, According To Gen Z” feature.
