Turkish denim manufacturing giant ISKO has opened a product development centre in London, saying it’s the first of its kind in the UK.

Called the Creative Room London, the “one-of-a-kind facility” marks the expansion of ISKO’s Creative Room Services (CRS) division and its “dedication to the continuation of responsible production”. 
 
The “unique and innovative space… is devoted to offering streamlined and simplified solutions for all denim requirements – from fabric to finished garment”, CRS said. 

With a focus on sustainable washing and finishing techniques, customers at Creative Room London “will be able to work in parallel with experts to achieve their desired denim looks”. 
 
Together with machine technology partner Jeanologia, CRS said it has been able to “develop innovative washing and finishing techniques that meet the highest quality and sustainability standards with a significantly lower environmental impact”. 
 
The Creative Room London in Acton, northwest London, will also be the central point for its customers' full product development, “ensuring the whole process is agile and more efficient”.
 
The customer hub will also act as a “platform of education and support for the wider denim community, working with local talent and universities to share knowledge and to bring ideas and concepts to life”.
 
Ertuğrul Konukoğlu, director of CRS, said: “Our expertise in this field has given us the ability to revolutionise, shape and educate the industry on the future of denim garment production. Our aim is to offer and collaborate with customers across the spectrum from end to end, offering tailor made approaches and curate long lasting partnerships.”
