As part of its DNA, ISKO has always paid attention to the planet and people, saving and reusing, creating value rather than just products. Through circularity, recycling, saving energy and materials, ISKO keeps innovating and finding new ways, solutions and technologies to be kinder to the environment whilst breaking new ground. Ctrl+Z is a way to help with both.

For SS 25, the entire ISKO collection is Ctrl+Z, the company’s material science solution with circularity at its core. Redefining fabric and renewing fashion, it’s the result of ten years of research and can be applied to any product, even stretch. Ctrl+Z material science uses post-industrial fibers made from a blend of recycled cotton, recycled polyester and regenerated cellulosic fibers to deliver fabrics that look and feel identical to their former compositions.

Ctrl+Z can feature specialty plant and animal fibers that give each fabric unique characteristics, and becomes Ctrl+Z Blends. Ctrl+Z Blends can be also combined with Soya, Lyocell, Modal, and Naia™ acetate which are plant-based fibers with varying degrees of softness and sheen, as well as with cashmere – its soft luxury feel comes with the fine touch of animal hair – ,hemp, and linen which are robust and more durable than most natural fibers, and, now, also regenerative cotton.

It is worth noticing that most Ctrl+Z fabrics are also bluesign® APPROVED.

ISKO and bluesign have teamed up in a concerted effort to strengthen their partnership while promoting more sustainable textile production. ISKO has achieved the bluesign® APPROVED label for Ctrl+Z recycled denim fabrics, a credential that bluesign grants only to bluesign® SYSTEM PARTNERs, including manufacturers, that meet the strict safety and environmental requirements of the bluesign® CRITERIA such as ensuring production sites are safe for workers, reducing CO₂ emissions and water consumption, as well as avoiding hazardous substances in production among many others.

This label is one of the hardest sustainability credentials to achieve, by one of the most trusted independent authorities in the world. As such, it speaks to the level of transparency of ISKO’s products and to the responsible and innovative approach that Ctrl+Z brings to the table and to production.
