Reformation launches a denim collection featuring FibreTrace technology
In a big step for transparency in the fashion world, L.A.-based lifestyle brand Reformation — which prides itself on a sustainably-minded approach to design — has released a collaborative line using FibreTrace’s embeddable technology. According to a press statement, it adds “scannable, luminescent pigments into the fabric, allowing Reformation customers to follow the denim’s entire lifecycle from fibre to production to finished garment, to when it’s in their own hands.” As the first U.S.-based brand to incorporate FibreTrace into its goods, Reformation focused on an American style essential — denim — for the launch of its Good Earth Cotton capsule. You’ll find six pieces within the novel release, from four styles of jeans to a pair of shorts and a jacket.
