Mexico-based Global Denim’s collection for Spring/Summer ’17 focuses on ‘weight’. Stretch and rigid is no longer a ‘valid conversation’ in the world of denim believes the Mexican mill, as both have become a norm in women’s and men’s market. Global Denim is dividing its collection into fabric under 10 oz. and fabric 10 oz. or more instead. Heavier fabrics with a more masculine appearance are examined in the Hardcore collection for S/S ’17. Global Denim is digging deeper into sturdier, high-stretch denim with Lycra for extreme activities as well as new denim with warp-only stretch. This is along with classic rigid denim.

In under 10 oz, Global Denim’s lightweight line, Enlightened, represents spring itself with fun, light and airy fabrications. Breezy shirting weights are teamed with Tencel bottom weights by the mill. Fit and better recovery alongside comfort and softness are provided by constructions with a structured, high-stretch foundation.

For the season, there are strong themes in deep indigo, ink and black, while naturals make a comeback as a light option. To round out its spring line, ‘Old Blue’, which is a lighter shade of blue is being introduced by the mill.
