ISKO unveils FW 26/27 at Kingpins: a breakthrough collection blending fiber innovation, circularity, and high performance denim

ISKO’s new FW 26/27 collection explores a diverse and ambitious vision for sustainable denim. With a strong focus on fiber innovation, the collection incorporates organic and regenerative cellulosic fibers, alongside Next-Gen circular materials powered by RE&UP — transforming end-of-life textiles into high-performance fabrics that rival the durability and comfort of virgin fibers.

Among the highlights of the FW 26/27 collection is RECODE DENIM, ISKO’s latest breakthrough in circular denim technology. Built on advanced recycled content and proprietary weaving innovation, RECODE sets a new benchmark for quality, resource efficiency, and scalability — seamlessly integrating sustainability with style.

This season also marks the debut of new fabric technologies that elevate denim’s potential for both performance and creativity:

+ ISKO™ We’Raw – delivers an authentic raw denim aesthetic that resists shrinkage, fading, and distortion, even after repeated home washing.

+ ISKO™ FitWise – engineered for lasting structure and a smart, adaptive fit with zero compromise on comfort.

+ ISKO™ Wondersoft – combines silky softness and authentic denim texture using sustainable fibers like modal and lyocell.

From rich textures to sculpted silhouettes, the collection embraces a deep winter palette — dark indigos, blackened hues, and earthy browns – further elevated by TINTED MANIA, a curated series of tone-on-tone color effects that enrich the visual depth of each garment. Fabric weights range from 9 oz to 15 oz, offering versatility and adaptability across seasonal applications.

ISKO™ Multitouch, introduced in SS26, remains a key fabric concept for the FW 26/27 season.

Known for its ability to deliver multiple textures and finishes from a single fabric, it continues to empower designers with options like 3D effects, permanent embossing, vintage-inspired wash-downs, and soft or firm hand feels – all achieved through responsible finishing processes that reduce environmental impact.

“With this collection, we’re continuing to merge fashion and function – introducing new updates in finishing and construction that reflect the latest industry trends,” said Fatma Korkmaz, Product Development Manager at ISKO. “We see a clear resurgence in demand for stretch, and have focused on delivering smart, adaptive solutions that meet both performance and aesthetic needs.

We’Raw, FitWise, and RECODE Denim aren’t just technical breakthroughs — they embody our vision for the future of denim, where innovation, comfort, and responsibility go hand in hand.”

More safety and comfort for protective clothing thanks to auxetic fabrics

When everyday materials are pulled, they stretch or elongate in the direction of the pull and become narrower in cross-section. We can also observe this property in two-dimensional textiles. Auxetic structures behave differently here. They have the striking property of not changing under tensile stress or even increasing their width or thickness. These properties are advantageous, for example, in protective textiles or textile filter media. The DITF are researching auxetic fabrics for various applications.
