RIVET, the global media authority serving the international denim industry, released its Summer Issue today, focusing on nostalgia and novelty. Gen Z won’t remember MTV as the groundbreaking influencer it was, but Music Television’s fashion legacy lives on in ’80s and ’90s denim staples. Meanwhile, new denim is all about keeping black jeans black, grungy washes sustainable, and consumers cool with new fibers. The industry will always contend with new regulations and consumer preferences, but Levi’s 150-year milestone proves that the strong will always survive.
