Talking about fashion trends, the manufacturing of fabric for textile industries has been evaluated as an issue regarding the exploitation of natural resources. A lot of energy is spent in each and every step which leads to the formation of fabric from raw material. Similarly, most of the raw material used in fabrics is plant-based and for textile plant rearing, natural resources are[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_2″ layout=”1_2″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_imageframe image_id=”2674″ max_width=”” style_type=”glow” stylecolor=”” hover_type=”zoomin” bordersize=”” bordercolor=”” borderradius=”” align=”center” lightbox=”no” gallery_id=”” lightbox_image=”” alt=”” link=”” linktarget=”_self” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]https://www.earthsquad.global/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/14-9.jpg[/fusion_imageframe][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]required at a large scale. Another concern for the fashion industry’s eco-friendliness is the inconsistent manufacturing of either too expensive or too cheap fabric which ultimately results in the wastage of resources.
To overcome this problem, environmentalists have come up with a number of solid solutions out of which 2 solutions have rapidly been adopted by a vast majority of the fashion and textile industry. These solutions include the Lenzing Modal fabric and the DSTLD products.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]
Lenzing Modal:
Lenzing Modal is actually a brand name of a fabric which has been recently developed to address the issues of the textile industry. Going by the generic name of Semi-synthetic rayon, Lenzing Modal is a branded fiber which is sold under the brand line of Lenzing AG. This company has a worldwide certification for recognition of its eco-friendly products.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”https://www.earthsquad.global/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/recycling-85.jpg” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”fixed” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”40px” padding_right=”40px” padding_bottom=”40px” padding_left=”40px”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”borderleftcls ” id=”” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.88)” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”25px” padding_right=”25px” padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_accordion type=”” boxed_mode=”” border_size=”1″ border_color=”” background_color=”” hover_color=”” divider_line=”” icon_size=”” icon_color=”” icon_boxed_mode=”” icon_alignment=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_toggle title=”Production” open=”no”]
The most striking thing about this silky and soft to touch fiber is its production technology. The fiber is essentially designed to boast the characteristics of cellulose such as retention of dyes and colors. Lenzing Modal has a distinguishing characteristic in terms of its water absorbency which is 50% more than normal cotton.
Contrary to the production of usual cotton fabric which exploits natural resources on a large and excessive scale, the production technology used in Lenzing Modal production is quite energy conservative and eco-friendly.
The pulp is extracted from beechwood trees and forces across a mesh. The fabric comes out from the sieves in form of long threads which are then dried and woven together to make complete Lenzing Modal Fabric, such as towels. The technique used in the production of Lenzing Modal is termed as Edelweiss- a symbiotic method. It means that the raw material, the pulp, is present within the same site as that of the fabric. Furthermore, the solvent is also conserved as a part of 95% raw material recovery during the Edelweiss production process. Hence, the energy consumption on unnecessary steps is reduced and no harmful chemicals are emitted during the process.
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Eco-friendliness” open=”no”]Beech trees play the essential role in the making of Lenzing Modal towels. The wood from these trees provides the raw material for the Edelweiss process.
- Beech trees have a remarkable characteristic of rejuvenation- meaning that the tree parts will grow automatically without the need for artificial planting or irrigation after they are cut. This saves natural resources.
- The reduction in steps of production process adds to the eco-friendliness of Lenzing Modal.
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Durability” open=”no”]In the light of the many reviews available on the internet and brand’s claims, Lenzing Modal towels have successfully fulfilled the various quality and durability standards set by many brands and regulators. Unlike cotton towels which have a 100% rate of color fading, Lenzing Modal does not lose its dye over the period of usage. The Lenzing Modal towels are soft on the skin and resistance to washing damage. They can be cleaned in almost all the ways.[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Fabric softness” open=”no”]Lenzing Modal is said to be the “feather fabric” because of its incredible softness and silky touch. Suitable for making towels, active wear and undergarments, Lenzing Modal is easy on the skin. There is no need for adding fabric softener while washing Lenzing Modal towels, which reduces further costs.[/fusion_toggle][/fusion_accordion][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”40px” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]
DSTLD Products:
The fashion industry is subject to menaces having highly priced luxury items on one extreme and cheap Fast Fashion on the other extreme. The result can be seen in the form of out-of-the reach luxury fashion items which eventually go to waste and the low-quality Fast Fashion clothing items which cannot be worn for long durations of time-meaning more waste. The term “waste” is not limited to just fabric waste instead, it extends to the waste of natural resources, time, energy, and money.
DSTLD is a line of premium clothing with a goal of establishing a direct consumer-maker relationship by eliminating the factor of retail. This once startup brand has created a distilled, carefully-selected line of all kinds of clothing to meet the luxury needs of every person within affordable range.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”https://www.earthsquad.global/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/4-11.jpg” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”fixed” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”40px” padding_right=”40px” padding_bottom=”40px” padding_left=”40px”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”borderleftcls ” id=”” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.88)” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”25px” padding_right=”25px” padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_accordion type=”” boxed_mode=”” border_size=”1″ border_color=”” background_color=”” hover_color=”” divider_line=”” icon_size=”” icon_color=”” icon_boxed_mode=”” icon_alignment=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_toggle title=”Production” open=”no”]The LA-based DSTLD team words under the designer-owners, Mark Lynn and Corey Epstein.
