Trend Union Special Edit. Denim

Trend Union Special Edit. Denim is Li Edelkoort’s Denim Clinic: a radical repositioning. The book moves denim away from rough and rustic and towards the clean, tailored and almost romantic. It is a special edition — not Colors SS 28 and not Trends and Textiles.

What’s included

  • Denim Clinic: a radical repositioning
  • Denim as a hybrid between rural and urban, outdoors and inside
  • Cleaner cuts: shirt jacket, collar, button; restoration and repair
  • Special edition, not a season colour roll

Who is it for?

It is the person laying denim — garment or campaign — who needs Edelkoort’s repositioning before you write the next brief.

How to use it

Put the special on the briefing table, and use it as a shared language for denim before you lock cut and campaign.

Technical specifications
  • Trend Union Special Edit. Denim, Denim Clinic

Frequently asked questions

Is this a season book like Colors or Trends and Textiles?

No. It is a special edition on denim. Colors and Trends and Textiles are the twice-yearly season tools.

What does Denim Clinic mean here?

Edelkoort repositions denim: stricter cloth, darker and lighter colours, clean cuts, restoration and a campaign away from the rustic.

Is it only for jeans?

No. Denim as a material outdoors and inside, including the shirt jacket, collar and button — and first-time customers at both ends of age.
