#1 BIG FUN
This trend for right now! There is a celebration taking place, against the odds society has advanced and adapted to live with the pandemic. Now, we picking up our party plans with an invigorated sense of celebration. A new energy drives us, seeking to take back the time we lost by invoking revenge spending, revenge travelling and especially revenge partying. Our physical senses tell us to never again underestimate the importance of physical connection. Reminding us of the ‘Let’s Get Physical’ from the hit era of the 80’s to make fun our new anthem. Make it physical… keep it physical.

The real world enters the game world, where consumers attend concerts (in the game), buy your own outfits (skins) where denim looks can rule and untapped with potential, it is where advertising hits the consumers, where zeros become rich heroes. Denim finds a new home here with plenty of space for denim experts to make their mark.

#3 IN-FORMAL MUTANTS
An Urban fairy-tale. During the 1920’s prohibition, there was money to be made in illegal parties. A sense of business developed out of play and just like the clandestine parties featured in the hills and mansions of late, the pandemic has brought about a new era of business and party. The rise in big fun will see waistlines fall again and believe it or not, everywhere from dresses to jeans we will look to the 1920’s for cuts and inspiration. A demand for more sartorial dress codes is met with a new twist and rebellious interpretations on sartorial looks.

#4 RE-TURN
This theme is about the beauty of simple denim and knowing its quality from fiber to final product and the importance of greenwashing hatery. Blue denim is coming back in a big way, another reason, why our denim industry has to set the right standards. Many have taken innovative steps and introduced the cleanest way of making denim. A little less are green across most of their product range. And a few still seem to follow the concept of greenwashing, unfortunately. Let’s change this, let’s all improve together!
Is the denim market how we want it to be and do we support it? We wonder how cheap should denim go? We know denim can be affordable and yet democratic. Driven by style, know-how and quality and topped with innovation, we invest in extremely durable, timeless and sustainable denim.

As we enter a new decade of denim, we see how the ongoing current global crisis does not limit us, we keep each other safe as it keeps us in but WE ARE ALL IN this together. Our denim world is shaped by the world’s reactions, anticipations and innovations. We look forward with strength and prospects for what we achieve today.
The five denim trends reveal the blueprints for a new physical and digital future, our new ‘phygital’ world. A new urbanity shows us a life in harmony with Mother Earth. Ethnic influences brought back from world travels are key to understanding what will nourish us and without a doubt, blow our denim heads in the upcoming seasons.
