Won Hundred integrated denim into the mainline collection. The brand said the collection “channels the essence of denim through innovative techniques, challenging viewers to question what they see and feel.”
Pieces like a simple zip-up jean jacket, shorts with long belts, relaxed jeans and baggy cargo jeans are made with denim manufacturing processes that significantly reduce its environmental footprint.
Won Hundred said its energy consumption now stands at 1.393 KWH per unit of jeans compared to the industry average of 3.1 KWH per unit. The brand has also reduced its water usage to 13 liters per jean compared the industry standard 93 liters. “By the end of 2024, we aim to further reduce this to 2 liters per unit. This goal will be achieved by recycling 95 percent of the water used in our denim production process,” the brand stated.
Marimekko, which stepped into denim for the first time this fall, expanded its offering to include long shorts and a denim jacket. The Finnish design house also introduced new lasered-etched prints, including checkerboard. The denim is complemented with draped layers, petal-like details and practical coordinates.
Floral embroidery was important in Munthe’s collection. The pale blooms popped against the brand’s dark indigo baggy jeans and tunic dresses. Summer inspired Rotate’s collection, spanning beaded roses on sheer dresses, skirts with petal-like layers and denim dresses and jeans with tearaway panels.
Long shorts , often with slouchy and wide fits, were unmissable in collections by Opera Sport and Skall Studio. Shorts were just as popular with fashion week attendees.
