Daily Blue by Adriano Goldschmied

A new collaboration between Adriano Goldmschied and Artmill shines a spotlight on premium woven denim fabrics. 

ArtMill, the innovative woven fabric division of Pakistan-based denim producer Artistic Milliners, has partnered with Adriano Goldschmied, the “Godfather of Denim” and founder of Daily Blue.

Khaki takes center stage in the collection’s desert-inspired color palette. Originally introduced for British military uniforms, this hue represents practicality and has become synonymous with timeless style. The collection includes tops and tailored bottoms, blending historical references with contemporary design and a commitment to eco-conscious production. 

Goldschmied said his goal for the collaboration was to design high-quality finished garments that show clients the possibilities of ArtMill fabrics.

Kelly Konings

Kelly Konings Textiles was founded by textile and fashion designer Kelly Konings. It offers an innovative approach to how clothing is made by combining the textile making process with the design process, creating garment and textile simultaneously. This way, textile and garment are woven in a multi-layering system. This simplified production system of an integrated design and weaving processes makes it possible to produce garments locally and on demand, reducing the amount of steps in the production and therefore reducing waste. All textiles are woven with natural, recycled and/or deadstock yarns, such as linen and local wool, creating high quality, 100% biodegradable textiles and. This approach combines the craft of weaving with the material experimentation into digital jacquard woven patterns. 

Konings’s work has been featured in magazines such as Vogue, Elle and ID Magazine, and showcased at Copenhagen Fashion Week, Stockholm Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. It was awarded the ‘H&M and ELLE Circular Fashion Award 2023’. The designer’s work has been presented at institutes such as ITS International Talent Support, New Order of Fashion, The Visionary Lab, The Linen Project, the Stockholm Furniture Fair, the Stockholm Craft Week, the Dutch Design Week, the Salone del Mobile and the Stockholm Creative Edition.

Gimmi Jeans

GimmiJeans: no unicorns, no glitter. Just jeans. Done right. 
We’re artisans from Veneto, raised on denim and strong coffee. Our idea of a revolution? Using hemp. No, not that kind. The legal one. The textile kind.Sustainable, tough, and almost forgotten. Except by us. 

We take it, weave it with denim, and turn it into jeans that don’t shout “look at me”, but whisper “I know who I am.” 

Our supply chain isn’t global. It’s local. 20 km local. The person sewing your jeans isn’t a machine in a far-off factory. It’s Mario. Or Lucia. And you might run into them at the Sunday market.
 
Gimmi isn’t a glossy brand. It’s an idea: that you can dress well without hurting the planet. And without taking yourself too seriously.
