Première Vision was held in Paris from February 11 to 13, 2020. Some exhibiting denim manufacturers offered new materials and low-impact fabrics. Among them, Prosperity presented an enlarged selection of its Stella Blu line, which offers indigo fabrics characterized by new textures, weights and end-uses. Evlox focused on Redenim, its overall offer of eco-friendly denim. Kipas Denim presented eco-friendly denim made by using organic cotton, preconsumer and postconsumer recycled denim, and eco-friendly fibers such as hemp and other sustainable resources. Bossa presented a selection of indigo corduroys and bright earthy hue fabrics.

Advance Denim showed a new series of denims available in a vast selection of blue hues produced according to a less resource consuming and an eco-friendly dyeing system. While conventional dyeing techniques use 15 to 17 different steps, out of which about ten are dyeing dipping steps, Advance Denim’s system uses four steps for its dyeing process and a single dyeing bath. This way water, electricity, chemical can be reduced as well as gas and wastewater production. Albini, a shirting fabric specialist, and Iluna, a high-end lace manufacturer, presented their products dyed with vegetal natural dyes. Limonta offered a selection of fabrics made with recycled nylon fibers, while Marzotto hawked a line of fabrics made with Tencel and wool, and Tencel and linen delivering great silky aspects, wrinkle-free and easy-care characteristics.
