Rivet’s summer issue is here and there are more ways than ever to read it.
For the first time, the summer issue is available in digital and print versions. Click here to read it online, or pick up the magazine this week at Denim PV in Milan.
It will also be available at Kingpins New York and Pitti Uomo in July, Chicago Collective in August and Bluezone/Munich Fabric Start in September.
Summer is a chance to slow down and take stock of the year so far. In the denim world that means reviewing the innovations coming from the supply chain, and fine-tuning design and merchandising strategies to tap into emerging trends.
There are plenty of new technologies to make the denim-making process more efficient—if brands are willing to invest in it. In “Building Blocks” (pg. 44), dive into the Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fabric constructions and fiber technologies laying the groundwork for more durable, sustainable and performance-driven products. In “Variety Show” (pg. 36), hear from men’s denim brands and analysts about the category’s growth opportunities.
Kontoor Brands CEO and president Scott Baxter knows a thing or two about identifying opportunities. In “High Five” (pg. 20), find out how reinvesting in two leading heritage brands—Wrangler and Lee—is leading to new product categories and a flourishing women’s business.
In the cover story “Model Muse,” (pg. 24) YouTuber turned model Ian Jeffrey shares the challenges and opportunities that come with working in fashion with a large social media following.
Summer is also a chance to relax and recharge for the remainder of the year. Find out how to stay cool in denim in “Hot Stuff” on pg. 40. We curate the ultimate travel wardrobe in “Now Boarding” on pg. 4, and we check in on the artists and athletes ready to entertain us in “The Zeitgeist on pg. 13.
