| How Chloë Sevigny Does Mom Jeans - Vogue Posted: 29 Oct 2020 10:04 AM PDT  Few fashion items are more maligned than mom jeans. Depending on your perspective, the baggy, high-waisted style is either a joke (Tina Fey and Amy Poehler famously mocked it in a Saturday Night Live skit) or an ironic choice beloved by teenagers and designers alike. Either way, it's no wonder that style renegade Chloë Sevigny is testing it out. Apt to push a stroller through SoHo while wearing Loewe pleats or airy Mimi Prober minidresses, Sevigny writes her own rules, especially when it comes to denim. (Take her conversation-starting, side slit Chanel pair at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival or the ruffled flares she designed for her Opening Ceremony collection back in 2014 as proof). Yesterday in Manhattan, she debuted her latest jean acquisition: Maison Margiela's light wash Décortiqué denim. In the past, Sevigny might have squeezed into a pair of her beloved cutoffs, but she opted for jeans created with comfort in mind instead. The relaxed fit, wide-leg silhouette of her Margielas makes them easy to wear, but the unique asymmetrical design with multiple seams adds visual interest. A simple way of elevating ordinary denim into luxury territory, the detail makes all the difference. When paired with a puff-sleeve leather jacket, tan turtleneck, and Loewe's shearling bunny bag, it made for an effortless—and cool—outfit.  |

| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 06:41 AM PDT  Recycling denim may soon be the industry norm. Photo: Pixabay Denim, we're told, originated in the south of France, but today it's the Netherlands that wears the trousers with a thriving jean industry employing cutting-edge techniques. G Star RAW are headquartered here, as are Kings of Indigo, Kuyichi, Denham, Mud Jeans and Amsterdenim. The Dutch preference for casual, practical clothing sees 20 million pairs of jeans sold each year, but when they are no longer wanted, most are burnt or sent to landfill. On Thursday a number of leading jeans makers and other stakeholders were in Amsterdam, the self-styled capital of denim, to sign a new agreement pledging to work together to improve sustainability in the jeans industry and make recycling the new norm. The signatories have agreed to collaborate on finding sustainable solutions to close the production loop. In particular, they have committed to using a minimum of 5% recycled content in every pair of jeans and create at least one million jeans with 20% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. The coming together of large, well-established fashion houses such as Scotch & Soda with newcomers with strong sustainability profiles such as Mud Jeans is mutually beneficial. 'We've had the opportunities to have discussions with other brands who might be further down the path than we are, who are already maybe completely sustainable,' said Imogen Nulty, Scotch & Soda's creative design manager for denim. For many, the transparency of the collaboration has been refreshing. 'It's not felt like a competition, but an inspiring opportunity,' she said. Despite its durability, denim has a dark side due to its environmentally harmful production processes. Thirsty cotton cultivation and specialist dyeing and finishing techniques mean that an estimated 7,500 litres of water is needed to make one pair of jeans, while the pollution caused by denim's famous indigo dye, which inspired the award-winning documentary The River Blue (2016), threatens communities in developing countries who already have a shortage of clean water. Acknowledging the 'love affair between Amsterdam and denim', Amsterdam's circular economy chief Marieke van Doorninck pointed to the flip side of our jean fetish. 'We are a city that loves fashion, but we are also very much aware of the fact that fashion can be very polluting and very unfair towards the workers,' she told the press conference. 'There needs to be something done and, because we are 'denim city', we feel responsible to work on that – and because we also have the talent.' Stakeholders must 'make sure that circular denim is not a niche product,' she said. 'Today is only a starting point.' Paris According to the Paris Climate Agreement, the Dutch economy must be fully circular by 2050, and halfway there by 2030. Junior environment minister Stientje van Veldhoven, who has said in the past that clothing manufacturers must be fully responsible for the waste they create, said she 'acknowledged that it is as difficult for [fashion firms] as it was for the energy sectors to make those changes'. Van Veldhoven emphasised the significance of the occasion. 'I am very, very pleased with this Denim Deal. I think it is a great step,' she said, adding that she would be asking the ministry about supporting circular production in fashion to help meet carbon targets. But she stressed the importance of setting these standards far beyond the Netherlands. 'I very much like the ambition to start making sure that this doesn't just become an Amsterdam Denim Deal, but a worldwide Denim Deal… We are in this together and we need partners all around the world,' she said. 'Let's see how we can join up and scale up.' Thank you for donating to DutchNews.nlThe DutchNews.nl team would like to thank all the generous readers who have made a donation in recent weeks.
