Denim Bomber, £75 (about US$147), Denim Skirt, £45 (about US$88) and Denim Jeans, £60 (about US$117).

Yesterday I announced the Danielle Scutt for Topshop collaboration news, today Elle UK has the exclusive sneak peek of the range. The “10-piece denim collection is a retro, hark back to the 1980’s as well as nod to her spring/ summer 08 catwalk show, featuring skinny jeans, tight fitting, belted denim dresses, rock tees and a stand out cropped denim bomber”, the range hits Topshop on June 2nd.

“I chose to use denim for Topshop because of it’s authenticity and breadth of appeal spanning generations, cultures and subcultures. Denim provides a cool, effortless statement that not all fabrics can achieve” Scutt says of her latest project.

What are your thoughts of the preview?

According to FWD, the Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz is in the “initial stages of creating his first jeans line with Stockholm-based Acne Jeans“. He aims to bring a Lanvin feel and offer women a variety of options to the collection with the price point comparable to Lanvin rtw pieces. The denim collection should be ready to be released in 2009. “It’s the first of several niches I’d like to build” says Alber Elbaz.

Hmm…all I can think of is expensive jeans…

Heidi Klum by Jordache, even with the second highest paid model bearing the name of the brand still doesn’t make much of a buzz. Her spring 2008 collection launched at Bloomingdale’s Beverly Center a few nights ago and is sold exclusively at Bloomingdale’s. Heidi looks great in anything but the collection itself is very bland - I mean who still wears Jordache jeans? In case you’re interested the range has hit www.bloomingdales.com.

I’ve been searching around for a pair of leather or leather-like jeans for awhile but haven’t been lucky enough yet. While looking through 7 For All Mankind I came across these fab Roxanne jeans in black non-stretch denim, it has a glossy look which kind of resembles leather or lamé. Too bad the only size left is a size 31 which is too big for me, if that’s your size cop it quick! The search goes on for me…

While in Las Vegas, I swung by Project to check out Lanie’s spring ‘08 collection Hellz Bellz collection. The booth was always packed with friends and buyers, with small gaps in between appointments I snuck in to get a few shots (didn’t get a chance to post up the images yet). Hellz Bellz never fails to impress me, this collection as well.

The new Hellz Bellz spring ‘08 collection is shipping to stores now, check here for store listings and where to cop online. Besides the dope Hellz Bellz x INSA Denim Jean collaboration under her belt there are also her usual t-shirts, jackets, jeans, zip up hoodies and tops. This collection is a tribute to the revolutionary female of the 70’s and 80’s.

I’m diggin’ the denim jacket, HB x INSA Denim Jean, hoody and striped top - cute stuff!

Looks like H&M is set to release a full range of women’s and men’s denim for spring/summer this year. The range consists of dark denim to faded denim to white denim, in skinny, straight, bootcut, flare and wideleg styles. I’m not huge on buying jeans anymore, I used to be when I wasn’t working this job. This job I hold doesn’t allow any sort of denim , I can only rock it after work or on the weekends. I still have stacks and stacks of jeans in my closet, some are still tagged - I tend to wear a few pairs b/c I’ve broke them out already. Check out the preview and see if you’re feelin’ it after the jump…
