Goldwin Launches Progressive New Initiative and Capsule, 'Goldwin 0'

— March 18, 2022 — Lifestyle
Japanese skiwear brand Goldwin has officially launched its new 'Goldwin 0' initiative. Announced during this year's Rakuten Fashion Week, the new project was said to be dedicated to moving past the labels, categories, and borders, typical to fashion and sportswear.

As a result, the new initiative is kicking off with a high-performing, unisex apparel line designed by Julia Rodowicz and Jean-Luc Ambridge. The new collection draws from Goldwin's archives to bring back a variety of wool pieces, which arrive rendered in the world's first seam-free knitwear design dubbed 'WHOLE GARMENT.'

Once again, sustainability is at the heart of Goldwin's new project -- the entire collection is made from eco-friendly materials, most notably, the brand's signature Brewerd Protein, which is utilized in the collection's denim and knitwear pieces.
