A global leader in sustainable fiber and technology solutions for the apparel industry, The Lycra Company has partnered with the Sapphire Group-owned textile mill, Diamond Denim to launch an innovative denim collection at Kingpins Amsterdam, to be held from April 16-17, 2025
Titled, ‘7 Styles for 7 Days,’ the capsule collection showcases garments made with bio-derived Lycra EcoMade fiber. It highlights the significance of sustainable stretch denim in elevating both men's and women's wardrobes while significantly reducing environmental impact. Each piece in this collection is designed to seamlessly fit into a modern lifestyle, allowing the wearer to transition effortlessly throughout the week.
Ebru Ozaydin, Global Product Category Director - Denim, Wovens, and Ready-to-Wear, The Lycra Company says, Diamond Denim was among the first mills globally to acquire renewable fiber from the company to create four high-performance fabrics that form the foundation of this versatile collection, ideal for any occasion.
