UNITED STATES – June 7, 2022) – Soorty, one of Pakistan’s largest vertically integrated denim companies, is pleased to announce its newest denim design philosophy based on innovation, Longevity, which emphasizes its commitment to making quality clothing that can last for generations and brings awareness to environmental impacts of fashion production and consumption. This concept will be a part of their upcoming collection, Philosophy of Denim. It consists of responsible denim pieces with the intent to last. These collections are available during Kingpins Amsterdam and at Soorty’s New York creative showroom, SpaceD.
According to a study by the EU science hub, over 80% of all product-related environmental impacts occur during the design phase. This finding inspires Soorty as it develops its new concept. Longevity serves as an approach to design that improves products. Fabrics weave together carefully selected materials and strong construction processes to enhance product life spans. Their craft focuses on creating a canvas for jeans that last and won’t be thrown away. Moreover, it aims to evoke a sustainable future where companies and consumers worldwide join forces to rethink fashion. The Longevity concept actively works to reduce one’s impact on fashion’s contribution to textile waste and combats climate change through functional and emotional durability.
A Cultural Shift is Necessary
“Trends changing constantly, seeing people we follow in new places, wearing their new clothes, trying new tastes on social media all the time. I feel like our obsession with newness is burdening in a sense. So, we asked ourselves, in a culture so obsessed with new, how can we design clothes that lend themselves to longevity in both the physical and psychological realm? Approaching longevity as a mindset and design as a tool was the answer. Inspired by the circular patterns of nature. That’s because they love treasuring the resources we are using. Especially making lasting clothing, owned, and loved. Moreover, once the clothing is past your style, repurpose it!
All products have a lifecycle, and Soorty believes both designers and consumers play a critical role in determining that. As producers of denim and jeans, they define their role with design for longevity as a key here. That’s all while continuing to inform, inspire and educate consumers and other stakeholders on the responsible options which can make a product last longer. We can do it by using each resource as efficiently as possible via their communication platform Future Possibilities.
Soorty Focuses on Quality Fabrics
The strength of a fabric is dependent on multiple facets. From the fibers in the yarns to the way they weave them. Not to mention the processes it goes through and the way it’s complete. Measuring with special tests conducted in laboratories. Essentially where tearing and pulling the clothes testing occurs. Especially against an applied force. Soorty has conducted tests to compare its Longevity fabrics with those woven in similar constructions, and similar weights. The tests have shown, implementing the high-quality raw materials and the vigorous processes of production, helped weave fabrics proven to be on average x2 times stronger.
