Blue of a Kind and Isko Luxury by PG have collaborated to launch ‘Stories,’ a capsule collection showcasing a shared commitment to responsible fashion.
The collection focuses on upcycling leftover fabrics from Isko Luxury by PG, the high-end range designed by Italian textile designer Paolo Gnutti for the Turkish mill Isko. Gnutti and Fabrizio Consoli, Founder, Blue of a Kind, recognized their complementary aesthetics and shared values, paving the way for this partnership.
Isko provided the leftover fabrics, primarily from discontinued collections and sample production. Blue of a Kind adhered to its sustainable production philosophy, minimizing water usage, eliminating chemicals, and utilizing laser technology for certain garment treatments.
Featuring reimagined Blue of a Kind styles, the ‘Stories’ collection incorporates Gnutti's signature flock denim technique. The designs of this collection emphasize relaxed silhouettes with wider cuts and loose fits for both tops and bottoms, reflecting current fashion trends. The collection includes jeans, trucker jackets, and oversized trench coats, all showcasing the flocked denim aesthetic.
Retail prices for the ‘Stories’ capsule range from 220 to 590 euros (approximately $230-$620).
This collaboration underscores Blue of a Kind's dedication to sustainability. Since its 2018 launch, the brand has focused on upcycling vintage stock to create unique, handmade jeans. In 2019, the brand upcycled a capsule collection from the mill’s sample fabrics in partnership with the Milan-based Candiani Denim. The ‘Stories’ collection with Isko Luxury by PG further strengthens Blue of a Kind's position at the forefront of responsible denim fashion.
