The New York Times paid a visit to Jean Shop, the Manhattan based specialist denim store that sells its own brand of raw jeans which can be dyed and distressed to your specifications.

via Denimology: A couple of days ago I posted a promotional shots of Kate Moss wearing a pair of jeans from her Spring/Summer 2008 collection for TopShop. And as if to prove that she does actually wear the clothes she designs here she is in the same pair of pinstripe jeans on a recent shopping trip to the Prada store in London.

The Miss Sixty catwalk show at New York Fashion Week scored pretty high on the celeb-o-meter with a front row made up of Chloe Sevigny, Ashley Olsen and Milla Jovovich. They got to see a range of denim including skinny, wide leg, high-waisted and denim shorts.

rr1.jpg This month both Rock & Republic and Diesel have opened online stores. The Rock & Republic store is pretty straight-forward displaying the jeans, clothing and accessories is an easy to browse way. Diesel on the other hand take their usual bonkers approach to web design by displaying their range in a “Liquid Space Style Lounge” which turns out to be an underwater “Matrix” style environment where browsing through the range is frustratingly difficult.


ia1.jpg Here’s a first look at the new Spring/Summer 2008 campaign photos from the Iron Army. This denim label was started a couple of years ago by two Canadians who were buying thrift store jeans and then taking them apart and remaking them into something they liked. Soon the started manufacturing their own jeans and now they are based in LA and their jeans are stocked by Barney’s and Ron Herman. Anyone that has bought a pair of Iron Army jeans is invited to send in their photos and they will be featured on their website as part of the ever-expanding Iron Army. ia1.jpg

bc4.jpg Blessed & Cursed is a German premium denim label that I have just been tipped off about. Their website doesn’t offer much in the way of info about the company, but the religious themed press photos are interesting. bc4.jpg

bl4.jpg This year denim has appeared in every colour of the rainbow, but one shade that has been absent is black, which maybe to do with it’s gothy/heavy metal type associations. Anyway I think that it’s time the black denim was rehabilitated back into society. As the candid street-style photos (courtesy of Jeanswear) show, it is possible to wear black denim and not look like a moody teenager. bl4.jpg

Diesel’s New Yoka Jeans For 2008

Diesel’s new style of denim for 2008 is the Yoka which consists of oversized jeans which are held up with a big belt. One thing is for sure if these jeans catch on then muffin tops will soon be a thing of past.

nyc1.jpg US clothing label Rockers NYC and Swedish denim brand Bay Icon have collaborated to produce these limited edition jeans made from 16oz selvedge black denim which come complete with a pair of suspenders and a bandana. (Source: HighSnobiety.com) nyc1.jpg


lv4.jpg Another collaboration, this time from Asian brands Devilock and CLOT and Levi’s. This is one of the least inspiring collaborations I have seen recently, all they seem to have done is sewn some patches onto a ripped up pair of Levi’s.

nd1.jpg Sweden’s Nudie Jeans Co produce the best denim this side of Japan. So it is fitting that they have decided to open their second flagship store (and the first outside of Sweden) in Harajuku, Tokyo. Apparently the location was chosen because it embodies the same values as Nudie, namely “passion, anti-fashion and design”.

mp5.jpg Meltin Pot have a new organic collection hitting the shops called Redux. Each pair of the limited edition jeans are dyed and washed with natural products such as wood, coal, jam, earth and yoghurt. The style of the jeans is inspired by the workwear of the 1930s and also apparently the Bauhaus artistic movement.

dvb4.jpg Victoria Beckham may never wear the same outfit twice but David Beckham is a creature of habit. You can be pretty sure that if he is photographed wearing a pair of jeans they are usually PRPS, as these photos of the couple arriving at Nobu in Malibu demonstrate.

Paris Hilton is another one of the celebs pimping a clothing line featuring a range of jeans at the Magic Fashion Trade Show this week.

km1.jpg Here’s a first look at the new jeans from Kate Moss’ Autumn/Winter Collection for TopShop. First impressions are that these are a great looking pair of wide-leg flared jeans. On closer inspection however they do seem to bear more than a passing resemblance to the J Brand Lovestory Jeans (see below) that the model/designer has been seen wearing recently. km2.jpg

The LA Fashion Awards have announced the nominations for the Supima Denim Designer of the Year Award.

In case anyone is interested, if I was on the panel my vote would go for J Brand.

Here is a very funny video (courtesy of Saturday Night Live) about one of the most heinous denim crimes known to man – the Mom Jean.

I would agree with this …

cm3.jpg Here is my prediction for 2008 – grungy denim. Your jeans are going to need to look like you dunked them in a bucket full of bleach to give them a patchy high-contrast fade. Just like the wannabe punks at my school used to do back in the early 80s. The grungy denim photos shown here come from the Cheap Monday Spring/Summer 2008 Collection. cm3.jpg
