The collection includes patchwork jeans and beautifully executed leather pieces and detailed zipper p e n c i l s k i r t s . Tr u e Religion has brought patchwork denim into both the men’s and women’s collections which is interesting as not many men have been seen wearing patchwork jeans for some time. For the holiday season, the focus shifts from the stitching to the fabric, and True Religion is reintroducing new metallic colors and accents on both leather and denim. True Religion has slowly, but surely moved away from its previous stereotype flap pocket/heavy stitches denim to a more sophisticated and classier kind of brand. True Religion has focused on the classic baseball stitch this year to create new, cutting edge styles. This new stitch will make its presence felt on pants, shorts, shirts and jackets in both the men’s and women’s lines.

Even Levi Strauss & Co, a name synonymous with jeans, is struggling, with second-quarter revenue dropping 2 percent from last year and net profit falling a whopping 76 percent because of falling sales in the U.S. It also cuts 800 jobs -20 percent of its non-retail and non-factory positions -- as part of a plan to save up to $200 million a year. A growing trend in casual wear is all about comfort, and denim is struggling to find its place. Retail and fashion experts alike are not afraid to admit the new look, coined "athleisure," is all the rage from teens turning to leggings instead of jeans and moms sporting their yoga-wear everywhere and all day long. "There isn't an 'it' item for back-to-school like we had two years ago," said Dana Telsey, CEO and chief research officer at Telsey Advisory Group. "What there are, there are certainly dusters and dresses, there's these crop tops that seem to be working and anything with the athletic bent. Athletic and activewear are certainly the new everyday wear and that's happening no matter what age people are." Jean sales are down 6 percent year-over-year, according to NPD Group and retailers have taken notice. Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst of The NPD Group said "A 6-percent drop may not seem like much, but it's rare for denim to take such a dramatic drop. It's a commodity business, we buy it and replenish it all the time." VF Corp has noted the decline, with Scott Baxter who heads the company's jeanswear business, recently saying that its Lee brand, with a 60:40 ratio of women-to-men sales suffered a decline of about 15 percent in the United States. Interestingly, Wrangler, with only 20 percent of revenue coming from the women's category, saw a single-digit increase in the Americas. Baxter told investors that in the Americas, the jeanswear business was facing continued challenges "due to the ongoing unfavorable women's denim trend." Piper Jaffray's biannual "Taking Stock of Teens" survey shows over the last two years teen girls' brand preferences have moved away from denim names like Levi's, Guess, and American Eagle toward athletic names like Nike, Lululemon, Athleta, Urban Outfitters and Victoria's Secret. Affluent teens surveyed by Piper Jaffray listed leggings/Lululemon as the top fashion trend for two seasons in a row. Part of the blame for the denim doldrums, according to Piper Jaffray', is the lack of "fashion newness" in the market and the innovation of fabric technology in recent years. That innovation is now driving jeans companies to diversify in order to stay current with the consumer. Joe's Jeans is turning to "alternative fabrication" and will be introducing several nondenim programs for the fall to include leggings made with "innovative textiles." The company said in July it recognizes leggings as one of the fastest-growing segments in the market. The Gap, which may be bucking the trend through its sportswear retailer Athleta, feels the denim fatigue fad is not new. "Fashion denim is cyclical. Currently, mid- and high-waist denim styles are trending, in addition to soft pants. Denim is still a dominant category for us at Gap and Old Navy, and we are committed to continuous innovation," said spokeswoman Edie Kissko. But the NPD Group's Cohen begs to differ, saying the risk for retailers is that the "athleisure" love affair could have a lasting effect.

August 2014 DENIM CLUB INDIA 08 Denim Club : Your Window To The World Of Denim Industry - Research Research for Indigo Dyeing of yarn receives large Grant Texas Tech University’s Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute has announced that a research project for indigo dyeing of yarn has been awarded over $470,000 in funding by the Wal-Mart Foundation. The study, titled “Foam Indigo Dyeing of Cotton Yarns: Machine Design and Process Control,” received a grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation, based in Bentonville, Arkansas. As per Dean Ethridge, Managing Director, Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute (FBRI) the project is aimed at reducing the amount of water, contaminants, time, labor, floor space and expense needed to apply indigo dye to denim yarns. The Fiber and Biopolymer Institute’s research team is attempting to determine machine design parameters and process controls necessary for the foam application of pre-reduced indigo on yarns. By doing so, it could provide a more costefficient and ecologically sound method of dyeing denim. “Wal-Mart has long been a mainstay of the retail sector in this region of Texas, and cotton has long been ‘king’ here,” Ethridge said. “Now the Wal-Mart Foundation is enabling crucial developmental research into one of the most dominant cotton textile products in the world – indigo dyed denim. Success in the project would reduce the water used to indigo dye denim by more than 90 percent. It would introduce a new paradigm for indigo dyeing that would enable drastic reductions in costs and drastic improvements in environmental impacts. Undoubtedly it would be among the greatest legacies of Texas Tech University’s Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute. Use of foam application, not only saves on water but is more environmentally friendly, and researchers hope to make process of indigo dyeing of denim more efficient, which is one of the largest cost components of denim fabric manufacturing. Indigo dye is a natural organic dye that has been synthetically produced and used as the main colorant of denim, particularly blue jeans, for more than 100 years, according to Ethridge. “We are extremely pleased that FBRI has received this major grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation,” said Michael Galyean, dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. “This work, which involves collaboration with the industry to develop more cost-effective and environmentally friendly dyeing methods for fabrics, reflects the realworld focus of our scientists at FBRI and their commitment to apply science to everyday life.” The grant, one of several awarded by the WalMart Foundation, was announced at the company’s U.S. Manufacturing Summit in Denver. Texas Tech’s grant was one of seven awarded by the foundation to various projects. “We are delighted that FBRI has brought us in as a partner in this important effort,” said Robert V. Duncan, Texas Tech vice president for research. “Coloring cotton is actually a very complex process, and innovations such as foam technology over conventional liquid-phase dyeing may ultimately result in lower process costs and hence a better value for the customer. This application of basic science to achieve better industrial results is exactly the sort of research that we intend to expand upon in the future.” The Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute, a 110,000-square-foot facility located on East Loop 289 just north of 19th Street, conducts research and testing of natural and man-made fibers in order to increase the use of natural fibers in textile manufacturing in Texas. It also focuses on production and evaluation of yarns and fabrics, alternative textile processing systems, dyeing and finishing of fibers and special yarn and fabric treatments.
