Denim fabrics became a preferred product by many people, because of especially being a symbol of comfort. In this study, the aesthetic and physical design of denim fabrics were carried out. It was aimed to compare the surface designs and structural parameters of denim fabrics obtained by weaving and laser technologies. Besides the design steps of weaving and laser technologies were explained and compared. Twelve denim fabrics having different surface designs were obtained with the intersection of indigo dyed warp and non-dyed weft yarns based on the theme of "contrast" by using derivatives of twill weave. Besides, these surface patterns were applied to classical denim fabrics by laser technology. The surface properties of denim fabrics produced by weaving technology were different for each surface designs because of different floatings. However, weaving is a time-consuming method and the design steps are more complicated. On the other hand, surface patterns of fabrics obtained by laser technology were found similar to woven ones and it had advantages as having greater design capacity, being a simpler, faster and eco-friendly method.
