Turkish company ISKO launches 2022 Collection Vol 2

Certified to Textile Exchange credentials, the R-Two fabrics in the collection ensure complete traceability of raw materials from field to final product. Using a blend of reused and recycled materials, they help decrease the usage of raw materials and improve sourcing efficiency, while preserving all the properties and benefits of each product. The collection adds sustainable updates to existing ISKO innovations, the company said in a press release.

ISKO Comfort combines denim's authentic look with added stretch to deliver comfort and hold with the familiar feeling of well-worn jeans. Its recycled material content has also been increased to over 50 per cent. The increased recycled content has the added bonus of making a fabric wrinkle resistant and quick to dry. ISKO Comfort comes in two colour options, horizon black and horizon navy, created using an innovative dyeing process that keeps dust away from the fabric and never fades, ensuring the colour stays brilliant.

The 2022 Collection Vol 2 further explores the four lifestyles introduced in ISKO’s Vol 1 collection – Denim Lovers, Simplify, ISKO Comfy and Euphoria – building on a collection of glorious colour options and technical features to provide further inspiration for designers and brands to suit a myriad of different vibes and moods.

Encompassing a unique combination of original constructions and stretch technologies such as ISKO Recall and ISKO Reform, Denim Lovers maintains the original legacy of denim, without compromising on comfort and freedom of movement. Catering to denim aficionados, the lifestyle adds modern twists to vintage-inspired washes. For example, pure indigo shades are incorporated, ranging from blues to blacks, which create a naturally green cast for an authentic, vintage look.

Comprised of pared back, clean and classic looks, Simplify brings together some of ISKO’s best-selling stretch, comfort and rigid fabrics, giving a breadth of versatility to satisfy a wide range of fits and needs. Simplify offers a large selection of shades – among these, ISKO EFD technology, which starts with an ecru-coloured base and can be dyed to any colour, from the palest pastel to the most vibrant tone.

Focused on loose silhouettes and sporty fits, ISKO Comfy is all about feeling comfortable and fashionable. The fabrics are soft and drapey with a cool, luxe vibe that looks effortless. ISKO Bluejym embraces this mood by preserving the original look of denim, while offering the feel and comfort of a knitwear solution. This technology is particularly suitable for oversized silhouettes. The range features washes with luxurious touches, such as metallic finishes and soft rinses, and more youthful, modern examples such as eco-bleach, crazy dyeing and colourful garments.

The Euphoria lifestyle takes inspiration from the world of high fashion, with a nod towards both the directional, fashion-forward styles and polished, sophisticated looks seen on the catwalk. Versatile and eclectic, it includes foils, glitters, cheerful styles and bold coatings resulting in unique options to experiment with creativity. With the look and touch of leather and the fit and feel of real denim, ISKO Jeather is the perfect expression of this lifestyle. A vegan alternative to leather, this fabric has great stretch for a figure-hugging, flattering fit and is available in a range of finishes (from matte to shiny and glitzy) and weights, making it a year-round favourite for streetwise fashionistas.
