Great, adorable advertisement by Armani, featuring its denim line. Smoking hot Megan Fox stars in a spot featuring her wiggling into her jeans in a hotel room with a hotel waiter in the next room. How “the tip” plays into the storyline is ultra-fun.
While visiting with p.r. champ and pal, Ida, at her newish gig with G-Star, I fell head over heels for the cam0 jeggings featured here. The print is subtle and just the right amount of military, speaking to the trend rather than screaming it. After the flip, more images of these pants, plus G-Star’s star denim bottom for spring, the “Arc” pant, an oh-so-perfectly-broken-in pair of women’s cropped boyfriends.
Enjoy a look at the latest collection by Kali Arulpragasam’s Superfertile, titled “Mankind.” Bold pieces as usual with a very deliberate message described as follows, “If man is the root of all problems, man’s kindness is the solution. We each have the power to lift another up from the gutter, to lend a hand, to offer a platform to stand on, in some cases to pull others to safety. Human kindness empowers us all and the courage that it takes to care is what inspired this collection. ‘Mankind’ is a collection of ornaments featuring fragile sculptural human figures of painted plaster helping, climbing, and lifting each other in constellations across the wearer’s body.” View more of “Mankind” on the next page.
With the tag line stating t “All Asses Are Not Created Equal,” Levi’s launched the Curve ID denim for women in New York last night. The line offers to remediate some common fit issues like gaping waistlines, too tight waists and curvy to straighter hips . The idea is “Jeans for All” in these three fits: slight curve, demi-curve and the bold curve. To find the right fit each shopper is measured to asses their waist to hip ratio, addressing shape more than size.
We applaud the idea of addressing the variety, however, as you will see in the event images we had hoped the marketing or at least the demonstration would have gone “all the way” in showing more visible variety in body shapes and frankly ethnicity (why not?). We’re suckers for out-of- the box, so ads that would shake up some body/ethnic stereotypes would be fab ’cause truly we ‘ve heard them all. The models you will see in the event images are gorgeous, but the truth is you have to really zone in on each one to really see their curve differences .
On the bright side, most of the wide variety of event attendees were able to find a pair that fits! The kings of denim might be on to something big…Take a closer look on the next page , courtesy of the amazing William Yan.
To satisfy the instant demand a fashion show generates, Cheap Monday, who recently showed their Spring/Summer 2011 collection in Stockholm, is also making their special edition denim styles( above) available on pre-release at Asos , Cheap Monday and Weekdays stores . If you miss out, the jeans will also be available at retail during the regular spring season. View the complete spring 2011 women’s collection on the next page, courtesy of Cheap Monday.
Blogger buddies MISS attended the ASR trade show and liked what they saw at the Roxy booth, giving the denim shorts shown here top grades. I like ‘em, too! Visit MISS for more ASR coverage. In the meantime, I’m typing this on my annoying laptop from the Vdara hotel (view is amazing!) in Vegas. I’m about to head to Magic so stay tuned for updates on what I see later.
From Cadmus we get a peek of Wrangler’s Autumn/Winter lookbook. Nothing exactly to set the world on fire; Levi’s has been there and perhaps done it better. Still, I’m thinking Wranglers could still get it. For heritage denim brands, Lee not so much, but there’s something about the Wrangler that has a sort of Pabst Blue Ribbon appeal to it.
Announced a few months ago, we now have a look at a few pieces from the collaborative capsule collection between singer Uffie and Diesel, reflecting the young singers sultry sexy chic. Mostly in black and very body conscious woth corsets satin jackets, denim, and accessories . A closer look on the flip. Available at Diesel stores this coming November.
I’m still in love with Levi’s. The designer brands come and go, but the little red tag will always be the first one that ever mattered. The images here are ads for Levi’s “Boyfriend” jeans Autumn 2010 collection. They look good, but you know how it goes…you have to try them on first. Via Twenty2.
It’s no secret that I’ve always had a love story with menswear. As much as the sight of a man in a well cut suit makes me weak in the knees, what I admire the most is that, while fashion for women is almost ruled by the expansion of fast fashion, men’s labels have retained a certain sense of heritage and craftsmanship .
I have secretly been coveting Denham Jeans as they exemplify a niche boutique denim category that is seldomly explored on the women’s side. Thankfully Denham has answered my prayers with a stunning women’s collection that stays true to their tailored aesthetic. Denham for women is not about tight and stretchy, in their own words “the truth is in the details.” A closer look at the exclusive ”First Edition” jean for women on the next page. Available in Denham House shops in Amsterdam and Tokyo, Colette in Paris, Present in London, 14OZ. in Berlin, Gerard’s Loft in Florence and Dantone in Milan.
