Are Leather Trousers the New Denim Jeans?
Jeans have long been a style staple in our capsule wardrobes, but this season leather pants have taken centre stage.
As part of this year’s Real Leather. Stay Different. International Student Design Competition, a Digital Fashion Futures workshop was held on Wednesday 15th June, and is now available to all fashion students globally.
The workshop, “An introduction to digital fashion, the metaverse landscape and its link to sustainability with Institute of Digital Fashion and Real Leather. Stay Different.”, is hosted by IoDF founders Leanne Elliott Young and CattyTay and introduced by celebrity stylist and global final competition judge Mike Adler.

ABOUT REAL LEATHER. STAY DIFFERENT: Real Leather. Stay Different. is a global campaign that has reached some 750 million people and hundreds of thousands of students. It makes the case for cattle leather (and other natural materials) and for making the best use of society’s waste and that hides, as the by-product of the dairy and meat industries, should be considered before looking to the petrochemical industries for manmade materials. Flexible and durable, leather is the natural alternative to fast fashion. The annual International Student Design Competition runs alongside regional competitions in Italy, China, the UK, Taiwan Region and the Nordic Region.
