Cone Denim Launching 100% Sustainable Line At Kingpins
At Kingpins New York, US denim fabric producer Cone Denim will launch a new denim line called Interconnected, which has been designed in collaboration with Decode and sustainable washing machine manufacturer, Jeanologia.
Cone Denim is partnering with Decode founder and designer Danielle Elsener for its second edition of zero-waste design collaboration to build upon the philosophy behind its ‘Nothing Goes to Waste’ capsule.
Interconnected is a zero-waste design exploration using Cone Denim’s Bonzai fabric that is produced with 100 percent post-industrial recycled cotton.
“The collection embodies the idea of returning to interconnectivity using zero-waste patterning. Rather than traditional straight lines associated with zero-waste designs, this collection rethinks what is possible and offers a beautiful, warped perspective,” Cone Denim said in a press release.
The collection includes seven garments with denim fabrics from Cone’s ‘Nothing Goes to Waste’ and Dream State colour capsules from the mill’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection.
Danielle Elsener used mono fibres to make the garments reclaimable at the end of life and also American & Efird’s 100 percent biodegradable sewing threads, Chroma SPC and Chroma Plus.
Interconnected silhouettes include a skewed, five-pocket jean in Cone Denim’s Black Cherry and Seaglass, which has a unique turquoise-casted indigo shade. The two styles are part of Dream State, a collection of fabric styles that offer a moody palette with vibrant energy.
