About Denim Futures:

Explore the ground-breaking innovations revolutionising the denim industry at 'Denim Futures,' a captivating exhibition hosted by The Mills Fabrica's innovation gallery and concept store, Fabrica X.

Denim is revered as an iconic and timeless material found in almost every wardrobe. Transcending decades, denim has evolved to reflect the changing attitudes and circumstances of each era. As ramifications of climate change become more apparent and consumers become increasingly eco-conscious, there’s a resounding call for greater transparency from brands. Now is the time for denim, once again, to adapt and evolve to our world’s ever changing present needs.
