ISKO brings FW 26/27 collection and RECODE denim innovation to Bluezone

A showcase of advanced fabric technologies and circular approaches shaping the future of denim. Munich, 2-3 September 2025 – ISKO showcases its FW 26/27 collection at Bluezone Munich Fabric Start – booth D23 – highlighting new developments in fabric engineering and circular denim technologies. A central focus of the presentation is RECODE DENIM, ISKO’s most advanced circular platform to date, developed in collaboration with RE&UP.

By using GRS-certified recycled and FSC/Canopy-certified, this next-generation technology fuses circular design with advanced performance and durability, proving that sustainability never has to mean compromise. The result are durable fabrics that match the performance and comfort of virgin materials while improving resource efficiency.

Complementing the RECODE platform, the show will present ISKO’s latest collection featuring:

+ ISKO™ We’Raw, designed for a raw denim look that resists shrinkage and distortion;

+ ISKO™ FitWise, engineered for adaptive structure and comfort;

+ ISKO™ Wondersoft, which combines a soft handfeel with authentic denim character through the use of responsible fibers such as modal and lyocell;

+ Tinted Mania, a curated series of tone-on-tone finishes, introduces added depth to the color range;

+ ISKO™ Multitouch – first launched in SS26 – returning to offer designers multiple finishes and handfeels within a single fabric, including 3D effects, embossing, and vintage-inspired wash-downs – achieved through responsible finishing processes designed to reduce environmental impact.

Additionally, the collection features three distinctive capsules displayed as special selections:

+ D-Lite offers a new dimension to denim shirting – ultra-lightweight constructions retain the authentic character of true denim while enabling stylish, seasonless garments.

+ Future Face 2.0 is a woven denim technology engineered to deliver knit-like comfort with the structure of true denim. Using advanced yarns and construction, it provides superior comfort and a smooth, refined surface – ideal for all-day wear.

+ City Glam, a next-generation finish enhances style with glossy brilliance or soft matte subtlety, transforming each piece into a modern statement, while preserving denim’s true character.

On Day 1 of the show, ISKO will also join the panel “Blue milestones: exploring denim’s cutting edge in dyeing, tech features, innovation and new approaches,” taking place at 12:00–1:00 pm at the Main Stage | MOC – Hall 2. Representing the company, Marco Lucietti, Director of Strategic Projects, discusses how denim innovation is shifting beyond seasonal launches to meet new regulatory, performance, and commercial demands. Finally, ISKO will explore how scalable, regulation-ready platforms such as RECODE DENIM can support brands in developing collections that anticipate industry requirements. Specifically, what truly sets ISKO’s cutting-edge innovation apart is its readiness for regulation:

+ fully compliant with evolving EU legislation (such as ESPR)

+ backed by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data

+ bluesign approved for chemical and production safety

Finally, at the show, ISKO™ Luxury by PG introduces its FW 26/27 collection – a bold reinterpretation of ISKO denim through the creative lens of Paolo Gnutti. Merging art, innovation, and uniqueness, this season’s capsules explore new textile horizons, reimagining historic materials such as wool, chenille, and jacquards. Through expert manipulation, these traditional fabrics are brought into the world of denim, creating pieces that are both avant-garde and deeply rooted in craftsmanship.

“We are looking forward to the new edition of Bluezone and are ready to further the conversation on denim innovation,” said Tayfun Akbay, Chief Commercial Officer at ISKO. “We are pleased to bring our FW 26/27 collection to Munich, featuring technologies such as We’Raw, FitWise, and RECODE Denim. Events like this allow us to exchange ideas, share progress, and collectively shape a denim industry that is both forward-looking and responsible.”
