Renowned Italian premium denim manufacturer, Candiani Denim and a veteran in workwear and technical fabric manufacturing, Grassi are set to launch TRC, a contemporary men's no-season workwear brand, at the upcoming June edition of Pitti Uomo. This collaboration aims to redefine workwear with a modern twist, emphasising both durability and sustainability, core values embraced by both companies.
Named after Candiani's historical designation, Tessitura di Robecchetto Candiani, the TRC collection features innovative designs that blend vintage and futuristic elements. Comprising approximately 50 pieces, the collection includes pants, jackets, shirts, and outerwear, all inspired by traditional workwear in their construction, details, and treatments.
The collection offers a variety of trousers, including a loose-fit 5-pocket style available in four fabrics, two of which are selvedge denims offered in a diverse range of washes. The tops range from a classic work shirt to a mandarin-neck shirt and a short-sleeved bowling shirt.
A standout in the outerwear category is the classic trucker jacket, which honors denim heritage while functioning as a utilitarian uniform. The collection also includes 5-pocket jeans and a selection of garment-dyed t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Materials used in the TRC collection include denims made from post-consumer recycled cotton and regenerative cotton. Additionally, the collection features Batavia fabrics enhanced with innovative materials such as Blue Seed—a unique hybrid regenerative cotton—and Graphite, a cotton fabric integrated with graphene.
At Pitti Uomo, TRC will unveil Mineral, a capsule collection crafted from Candiani's new Mineral Denim. Made from Blue Seed cotton and developed in collaboration with Gowan Seed Company, this fabric is enriched with minerals and reinterpreted with Grassi’s technical expertise. The TRC Mineral capsule collection will be available for purchase starting October 2024 at the Candiani Denim concept store in Milan and online.
Debuting at the Florentine event, the TRC collection will showcase pants, outerwear, and shirts designed with advanced technical features and environmentally conscious technologies. These garments will boast high durability, water resistance, antimicrobial properties, and temperature regulation. The TRC collection will be available from January 2025, both online and in selected stores.
