I came about this trend prediction after research into WGSN and London fashion week. Again, denim is already a trend that has been around for years. It goes through its variations of style, colour and look so is constantly growing and changing to fit in with the current style. Classic looks such as jeans, denim jackets and dungarees, are all still very much in fashion, but what has been predicted for the year 2021/2022, for denim, is very different. The difference lies mostly with sustainability. “Clean blocking”, “Climate disruption” and “Paler denim”, were said to be all methods of creating denim, much like knitted fabric, will be better for the environment. With clean blocking using patches of older denim to recycle and recreate new clothing and Paler denim using a less non toxic dye, this trend deemed to be very important in my opinion. I love this trend as it is all for the environment, but also brings along a new look with it.
