Invista’s Cordura brand’s is set to show its space-themed X.Venture Collexion at Munich Fabric Start (MFS) - Keyhouse, on January 31 and February 1, 2017. The new collection designed by Struktur Studio is a co-operative collaboration between Cordura brand and Artistic Milliners, featuring Tencel from Lenzing, and coatings by Schoeller Technologies AG.

The X.Venture Collexion, to be displayed in the innovation Keyhouse display hall at MFS (#39), will be an interpretation of how some of the most innovative performance textile technologies can combine with the art of design to impact the future of technical denims. The garment concepts take influence from retro astronaut gear - a nod to the 60s heritage of the Cordura brand - combined with modern, space-age popular culture. Struktur Studio’s retro-futuristic garments in the X.Venture Collexion specifically highlight the cutting-edge denims created by this collaboration.

The X.Venture Collexion is comprised of a men’s jacket and pant, and a women’s jumpsuit, featuring multiple cutting-edge fibre, fabric and coating technologies.

Neil Bell, Artistic Milliners’ global manager and director said, “We were proud to be approached by our long standing partners at the Cordura brand to work on providing next generation denim for their upcoming 50th anniversary celebration. We designed and crafted a range of futuristic Cordura Denim fabrics with the aim of creating denim that reflects innovation and heritage while encapsulating next generation durability, strength and added performance. In addition, we also collaborated with Schoeller finishing technologies to add their latest generation coating technologies to these outstanding conceptual Cordura Denim fabrics.” (GK)
