For the first time ever, through a new partnership with A. W. Chang, Jhane is truly vertical —with access to her own factories, and weaving and screen printing mills.
2011
Jhane brings back one of her favorite accomplishments of all time…the stretch woven sportcoat with no lining or shoulder pads but with a structured fit. She first introduced this technique in 1997, but this version is half the weight.

Jhane introduces "Prism" carpet as part of the Zenbu Collection. The overall pattern repeat is large but because this pattern is designed with a series of squares that fade in and out, the carpet only needs to be matched to any of the individual squares in the pattern, thus reducing waste.

2010
Jhane designs a new collection of Yoroke shirts, a technique she first used in the 1990's. These shirts were favorites of Jhane's and her customers. In collaboration with one of her favorite mills in Japan, Jhane incorporated a weaving process called "Yoroke" into her designs that uses a special loom attachment to create a "wiggle" in the weave. Sadly, this technique is gone forever as the mill owner who knew how to do it never passed along the knowledge.
2009
Jhane added another new technique to her menswear line in Spring 2009 - digital printing on sweaters. The sweater was knitted first and finished and then folded and sent through the digital printing machine so parts of the sweater that were folded didn’t get the print.
2009
Jhane introduces her "Redux" line. Redux combines Jhane's passions for the environment and fashion. Working with her mills, Jhane gathered materials of exceptional quality that had been produced yet never used. Jhane revived these materials by incorporating them into new unique creations. Through innovation and a desire to reduce waste and the "throw away" habits of the industry, Jhane created a fresh, new look - shirts with a contemporary fit that have an environmental conscience.
2008
As you probably know, fractals are some of Jhane's favorite design motifs...
She particularly admires the work of Benoît Mandelbrot, a Franco-American mathematician who is considered the father of fractal geometry. Mandelbrot, worked extensively with the Mandelbrot set (named in his honor), which has played a huge role in Jhane's designs since about 1995, and has used them in almost every single season since then. Jhane even appeared in a Nova documentary with Mandelbrot, "Hunting the Hidden Dimension." You can watch the video online.

2007-2008
Jhane is well-known for incorporating fractals into many of her designs and they are always a fan favorite. In 2007 and 2008, she combined fractals with other techniques - her signature push-pull design and pleats!
2007
Jhane introduces "Aftermath" carpet. Advancements in technology began allowing for huge design repeats and Jhane took advantage of that, adding her own special twist. With Aftermath, she developed a system that allowed her to design a pattern for carpet that used rotated identical elements to make up a large repeat, creating less waste, reduced pattern fatigue, and easier installation. Aftermath is still the best selling carpet in Tarkett’s lineup!
2007
"Liason" is one of several shirts this year created with Jhane's signature push-pull fabric from Japan. The layers in this double woven fabric are manipulated to cause the threads to ripple and bunch together in certain spots, creating the push-pull technique.
