RIVET, the global media authority serving the international denim industry, released the Fall 2024 issue on Tuesday.
New Collaboration Highlights the Advantages of Denim Production In the Americas
Fall is always a busy and transformative time for the denim industry, from New York Fashion Week kicking off a month-long stretch of runway shows to mills and fabric producers convening at Kingpins Amsterdam to discuss their next collections. Rivet will be at both with the fall issue distributed across NYC fashion events in September and the preeminent denim event in October.
The issue is also heading to Los Angeles this fall for the first Sourcing Journal x Rivet Sustainability LA conference on Sept. 26. With a speaker lineup that includes sustainability experts from ready-to-wear, denim, activewear, tech firms and more, the event is an opportunity to take note of the ways other companies are establishing more responsible supply chains, measuring their impact and transforming their businesses for the better.
As the fall issue shows, L.A.’s denim industry has learned plenty of lessons that it can share.
After a post-covid spike, L.A. laundries are adjusting to a new normal in “Local Value,” pg. 42. In “LA View” (pg. 38), designers from leading premium denim brands discuss how they approach sustainability while harnessing the West Coast lifestyle that inspires brands worldwide. In “Blue Blood” pg. 52, Nicolai Marciano, chief new business development officer for Guess Inc., shares how a partnership with a long-time supply chain partner is transforming its business.
Mills and chemical suppliers are transforming their business as well by adding creative service arms. In “To the Rescue” pg. 62, learn how they’re leveraging their expertise to help clients find solutions for their design challenges. Denim brands have long relied on trim suppliers for creative support. In “It’s in the Details” pg. 54, hear from trim manufacturers on what’s trending in zippers, labels, rivets and more. Few technologies have transformed the finishing process like laser. In “Laser Focus” pg. 58, Jeanologia CEO Enrique Silla looks back at 25 years of driving sustainability and creativity with laser innovations.
