The weather is finally getting cooler in NYC, which means I can wear jeans. I’m very particular when it comes to jeans, especially since there’s so many choices out there, it’s hard to come across a good fit and nice washes. Hudson Jeans are created from the best premium denim from the finest mills in Europe and Japan, all the products are hand finished and are best known for unparalleled fit and craftsmanship. I’ve added Hudson Jeans to my short list of favorites, they fit true to size and they’re pretty comfortable. I got a pair of Black Distressed Skinny with Ankle Zipper Jeans ($187), these are one of designer Ben Taverniti’s favorite jeans from the Fall 2009 collection and now one of my faves. Hudson Jeans are available at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Revolve Clothing, Nordstrom, Tobi, and Couture Candy. Are any of you guys fans of Hudson Jeans?
According to WWD, J Brand tapped Los Angeles designer Henry Duarte to create three low-rise skinny jeans styles inspired by David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust” album. The three styles includes: “The Raygun style, in indigo with a shiny spray tint wash, features exposed zippers with custom pulls and seaming and topstitching with a Space Age feel. The Ziggy has handmade hardware, zipper accents and a soft black wash. The Suffragette is a take on Duarte’s signature lace-up front jeans with a pigment rub wash.” The collection is slated to launch in US stores including Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Intermix and Ron Herman in December 2009 and select specialty stores worldwide including Selfridges and Harvey Nichols early next year and will retail for about $250. From the sketches they look good, I await to see how the final product looks.
Evisu is now relaunching its brand with Scott Morrison as new Creative Director and CEO. Scott, a pioneer in the premium denim movement, founded Paper Denim and Earnest Sewn. The collection pays homage to the fascinating and forgotten roots of the brand. The 5 pocket jean was originally designed in 1880s. Around 200 years later, in 1991, Evisu launched the “premium denim” movement, which in the late 90s, gave rise to popular brands like Earnest Sewn, PRPS, Earl Jeans and Paper Denim. Besides using the best Selvedge denim in the world, Evisu jeans go through a “dry” and “wet” process” that gives each pair its unique look and can take up to one week for a pair to be finally ready. The relaunch of Evisu will focus on the quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity that made them the IT jeans in late-90s, Evisu was also the first denim brand to sell in mass for over $100 a pair. The relaunch initially includes three collections for men and women with no two pairs of jeans alike, Evisu Genes ($150 to $198), Evisu ($198 to $265) and Private Stock ($600 to $700) a replica quality, one-of-a-kind pieces, hand painted logo and numbered. For this line craftsmen use various techniques to create unique detailing (e.g. burns using cigarette lighters, hand painted buttons etc.). Evisu’s new collection will be available exclusively at Barneys in November 2009 and starting in January 2009 at Fred Segal. More pics after the jump…
Normally I don’t really keep track of what Teyana Taylor rocks but while going through photos on WireImage I came across a recent pic of her rockin’ some familiar pieces. Teyana wears a red jacket, DimePiece tank top, H&M jeans and Jeffrey Campbell Potion Ankle Boots to the LA premiere of Halloween II at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on August 24, 2009 in Hollywood, California. Do you like her look? Bigger pics after the jump…
I’ve been getting a lot of emails and comments about the Hellz Bellz Studded Out Denim since I wore them. I did some research and found that 80’s Purple have them online for $144 available in sizes 25-29. These are seriously one of my favorite jeans, every time I wear them I get asked about them. As for sizing, they run true to size, I’m wearing the exact size I’m wearing in all my jeans. The only issue with these are the waist is a little loose and the leg area is a bit tight, at first you may think they don’t fit but after you get up the leg area you should be fine. A couple of my friends had the same issues so it’s not just me lol. Enjoy! > Hellz Bellz Studded Out Denim [80's Purple] More pics after the jump… |
