Its time for Denim By Premiere Vision again ! The famed denim show is being held again on Nov 30 and Dec 1, 2011 . Over 80 exhibitors – denim mills, jeans manufacturers , laundries , accessory suppliers etc-  will be exhibiting their Fall/Winter 2012/13 Collections at the show. The show is expanding with keen interest by denim mills and other companies in the supply chain worldwide to be  a part of the show.
Almost all the well known denim mills around the world will be a part of the show and here are some excerpts on some of the major players who will showcase their products.
Arvind Mills –Future Denims
Arvind is one of the largest producers of denim worldwide, with a capacity of over 120 million metres per year. At Arvind, business units span the entire textile and apparel chain: from growing organic cotton, through spinning, weaving, processing and finally manufacturing and retailing its own repertoire of diverse brands. The company proposes eco-friendly manufacturing at every stage, across the entire life-cycle of its products.
Special highlights this season include Future Denim, Excel Denim, Hybrid Stretches and Indigo Shirtings.
Super Stretch Solutions from INVISTA
This edition, INVISTA is introducing for the first time their new LYCRA® dualFX™ fabric technology, for patented fabrics that are uniquely super stretch. These exceptional denims integrate LYCRA® fibre and LYCRA® T400® fibre into a single fabric for added stretch and, even more importantly, extra fabric recovery.

Vicunha: Softness and eco-friendly denims
Drawing on its development of special spinning and weaving processes, Vicunha’s autumn-winter 12-13 collection proposes products with an extra degree of softness. Some compositions include combed yarns, worked in new ways to achieve extreme fineness in colours and finishings. Another area the company has been researching is sustainable development, including fabrics that make use of recycled polyester from plastic bottles, while maintaining a cotton feel. Their new collection includes some 69 references, broken down in 8 product families.
This season, Tavex puts the spotlight on a new selection in their fabric offer: Denim Couture, an exclusive collection of selected creations carefully designed to impart more sophistication, more chic. The line is the product of ongoing research and development aimed at combining traditional and hand-executed techniques with the latest innovations. This results in articles that stand out, offering a surprising vision of denim in two complementary lines: Satine and Sculpture.
+ And also: Alsoft® Amazontex
This natural, ecological and sustainable finish is derived from Cupuaçu, a fruit obtained directly from cooperatives in the Brazilian Amazon. Silicon-free, hypoallergenic and biodegradable, the finish produces a softening effect and improves comfort by absorbing moisture and solar radiation.
Royo’s key concept for next season
Orta Blu: a network to promote sustainability
Orta Blu, the sustainability division of Orta Anadolu(Turkey) , aims to
communicate Orta’s efforts to save energy in their processes, and to develop an extensive global community dedicated to social and sustainability issues. One of its operations is launching a hands-on global ‘Social Missions’ using Orta products in collaboration with NGOs around the world. One example is the creation of school uniforms for children in Sierra Leone. Since 2005, Orta has been pursuing a number of “Best Practices” in energy and water conservation. The most visible result is a notable decrease in energy consumption per unit of production. A review of energy records shows a roughly 20% reduction in electricity and gas per metre of denim produced.

US Denim Mills: a forerunner in the field of sustainable denims
US denim mills is a denim company from Pakistan with great products.The company has been working hard to optimize the idea of recycling denim. The first ideas of recycling old jeans proved to be impractical for various reasons, mainly consistency. The use of waste from the denim cutting tables proved to be more controllable and more consistent. This reprocessed fibre is used to spin yarn that is reworked into denim. The recycled yarn also requires new dyeing techniques, resulting in unique denim with a unique cast.
