"For us, Los Angeles is a second home. The California city is the home of premium denim, which represented a revolution in the history of denim that began in the second half of the 1980s thanks to our innovative stretch fabrics, which for the first time combined authentic aesthetics and comfort,” he added underlining the company’s commitment to developing always new products meant to achieve increasingly more virtuous and environmentally friendly results.
