Turning green visions
into great products
The blue heart of the trade fair beats strongly in the Blue Zone. Located in the Zenith Hall, around 60 of the world's best denim weavers and finishers present their latest developments for the season under the motto TisT - Tomorrow is Today, - providing an early look at what autumn/winter 2013/14 holds in store. The Green Zone is the green artery of the denim world and provides insight on environmentally friendly manufacturing and finishing techniques. R.M.S. dpt. - Ready Made Solutions - places an emphasis on flexibility and rapid execution and provides a single focal point for the full-package portfolios of well-known denim makers.
MOOD + LOOK + COLOURS + FABRICS
Visionary architecture, Modern Street Art and design in public spaces inspire the world of denim and casual wear. “Street and Art” have made a pact of beautification. Artists consider themselves as creative street fighters and move through the grey urban streetscape to bring new life to even the most hidden corner and give the last paving stone a polished sheen. They are not there to create flat images but to install artworks with textural qualities and real three-dimensionality. Glossy and shimmering elements are used consciously as contradictions to the usual Urban Art.
The rebellious underground scene with its explosive free spirits of Rock, Punk, Rap and Hip-Hop appears in daylight and finds new forms with its powerful elements. Stylistically, this is a mixture of a forward-thinking look towards the past with technical surfaces and 80s and 90s looks.
GREEN ZONE
– And it goes without saying that we keep following the path of ecological consciousness. In our Greenzone you’ll find our matching GREEN NOMADIX.
Eco? Logic! Of course, the denim sector also needs its GREEN ZONE. Nature and sustainability are the order of the day. To turn these requirements into a modern, fashionable and up-to-date reality is especially key in the denim segment. We support you here. Introduced last season as a consistent answer to market requirements, the success concept of the GREEN ZONE now enters its second round. The GREEN ZONE provides an overview of eco- logically and sustainably produced denim items and also informs visitors about environment-friendly innovations from cotton growing through fiber usage and finishing processes.
R.M.S. - Ready made solutions
Looking for innovative design? Do you as a denim company want to offer your customers the latest developments while continuing to be able to dynamically react to market requirements? We have the solution: R.M.S – Ready Made Solutions – is the creative one-stop- shopping range here. You buy the denim fabric – your R.M.S. partner takes care of making, laundering and finishing the garments. This market-relevant idea that makes your sourcing processes more efficient is now given its own department at BLUE ZONE – condensed and exclusive. For the first time full-service products by renowned producers will be showcased at newly created info stands. In addition to this, the exhibitors offering this service are “earmarked” with our R.M.S. logo. The new concept reflects the increasing number of denim suppliers who are now investing in design, laundry and finishing to make the sourcing process easier on you. After all, speed and flexibility are the “additionals” that may prove your key competitive edge in future.
Always a Step ahead with TisT – Tomorrow is Today
For all those keen on being that bit ahead this is where to find a preview of the 2014 Spring/Summer season.

These are the crucial questions for the weaving mills, finishers and full-package providers exhibiting here. But “TisT” is not just a futuristic dream. The exhibitors also have plenty of “gear” for the imminent 2013/14 Autumn/Winter season.
