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
- Personally conceived by Lidewij Edelkoort
