SYRE

“Syre marks the start of the great textile shift. We envision a world where every textile fiber sees a new day. By implementing true textile-to-textile recycling at hyperscale, we want to drive the transition from a linear to a circular value chain by putting textile waste to use, over and over again,” says Dennis Nobelius, CEO of Syre.

Virgin polyester, made from crude oil in refineries, and bottle-to-fiber recycled polyester (rPET), are both linear meaning the majority of all end-of-life products currently end up in landfills or being incinerated. The textile industry is now at a tipping point as the European Union and other actors are introducing legislation that will regulate waste and accelerate demand for circular materials.

“Having been creating and scaling companies that enable the green transition for an entire industry, I am extremely excited to be part of founding Syre. As a plug and play solution into the existing textile value chain, Syre will be key in enabling delivery on ambitious sustainability targets for all polyester intense industries such as apparel, automotive, and home interior”.

Syre will provide textile-to-textile circular polyester (cPET), with quality on par with oil-based virgin polyester and with a superior sustainability performance, reducing CO2e emissions by up to 85%.

DENIM DEADSTOCK DEPOT AND ME

These last few months I have been completely immersed in the denim industry, denim treatment, indigo, not indigo, selvedge - not savage nor salvage, raw - Japanese, American, Pakistani, Italian..you name it. So much to love and learn and completely utterly totally obsess over. Denim like never before and like its always been there. From childhood dungarees to the 90s flared jeans to the skinny and the low rise or the high rise ...Its a close-knit selective tribe, and I am IN IT . To the 'BLUE INFINITY' and beyond!

Lenzing Cellulosic Fibers:

Cellulose is a fibrous plant-based material that’s used to create natural cellulosic fibers. We source these fibers through the Lenzing Group to ensure that the wood pulp used to create the fibers comes only from sustainably harvested trees. We currently use four types of cellulosic fibers:

TENCEL™ Lyocell is a lyocell rayon fiber, created by converting dissolved wood pulp into versatile fiber using a low-toxicity solvent. During this process, 99.5% of chemicals are reused in a closed-loop system. TENCEL™ Lyocell is durable without feeling heavy – it has a gentle feel that moves well with the body.

TENCEL™ Modal is a brand of soft rayon made from Beechwood trees, grown mainly in Austria. As Beechwood trees grow, they naturally breed, eliminating the need for artificial irrigation and planting, thus resulting in a self-sustainable forest. The TENCEL™ Modal production process also recycles 95% of the production materials back into its manufacturing system.

TENCEL™ with REFIBRA™ is a recycled fabric made from sustainably sourced wood pulp and pre-consumer cotton waste, promoting a circular clothing economy. In other words, waste from one process is reused in another to mitigate waste overall. TENCEL™ with REFIBRA™ is a flexible fabric that moves easily throughout each season, and it was first introduced to our fabric list with our Spring 2018 Ready to Wear collection.

TENCEL™ Luxe is a shiny filament yarn produced within Lenzing’s closed-loop lyocell production process (see above). Composed of natural materials derived from renewable sources, TENCEL™ Luxe is a newly innovated silk alternative that drapes naturally and keeps the body cool.

BAUHAUS

On April 1, 1919, the Bauhaus school of design was born. This was where modern design thinking came to life - and, so, it has a special place for AG Textiles Studio. ⁣HERE the story of the first woman master of the Bauhaus: Gunta Stölzl.

“Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.” Walter Gropius

FASHION FILES: CAMP

The French invented camp: In a 1671 Moliere play, the character Scapin tells a fellow servant to "Camp about on one leg. Put your hand on your hip. Wear a furious look. Strut about like a drama king." Bolton, the Met curator explained further in BOF that Louis IV loved to camp. So there you have it, those French again.

(Thierry Mugler 1995)

ENKA VISCOSE:

The trees that ENKA's raw viscose fibers are produced from are substantially and consistently better because ENKA strictly controls every working step from cultivating the right trees on plantations with optimal climatic and geologic conditions, to reprocessing only the highest quality long-chain cellulose fibers. Cultivating trees on carefully controlled plantations is the agricultural use of a permanently regenerating source - wood.

Because ENKA knows that only consistently high quality, long-chain cellulose guarantees a perfect viscose product, they make sure that every single step is subject to their strict oversight, from selecting the seeds from healthy trees to keeping a data sheet on which the entire life story of the tree is written down. Furthermore, the growing speed, ground and climatic conditions play an important role. It takes about 20 years until each individual tree has the inner structure and ripeness to meet ENKA's high quality demands.

ENKA is the manufacturer, rich in the tradition of making the highest quality raw viscose filaments and fibers.

ENKA viscose is an ecological product.

DETOX MY FASHION

If the fashion industry has the power to influence trends, then it also has the power to play a positive role in protecting the planet. Since July 2011, Greenpeace has secured commitments from international brands, retailers and suppliers to eliminate hazardous chemicals, including help to trigger policy changes in Europe and Asia. Eliminating toxic chemicals is just the start. From fast fashion to textile waste, we need the global textile industry to be a true ‘trend setter’, and take a stand on the environmental and human impact of fashion.
