Darling Denim? How we can make dirty denim sustainable again

The environmental balance of our favourite piece of clothing, our jeans, is enormous: water-intensive cotton production, the use of toxic chemicals, sandblasting or bleaching  - these are just some of the keywords when it comes to denim production. How can we turn dirty denim back to an everybody's darling again? This is what our Neonyt #Prepeek Panel discussion "Reinventing Denim" by ISKO with Kim Gerlach, Rosey Cortazzi & Sam Trotman (ISKO) and blogger and fashion designer Lina Mayorga (@fashionfabnews) was all about in January.

Three different guests talked to Jana Kern & Alex Vogt (Kern) at the Fashionsustain conference about the business cases behind the different models of their companies: Sara Eriksson gave us an insight into the rental service by H&M Group, Sandya Lang introduced the repair/reuse service by Nudie Jeans, and Patrick Duffy explained how a clothes swap concept was developed by Global Fashion Exchange.
