Vince Moves to Denim Land
Everybody loves denim, now even Vince. The LA-based contemporary label has created a women's and men's denim capsule collection, the former comprised of skinny, straight, and subtly slouched cuts, as well as denim leggings. All the jeans, retailing from $185 to $275, use Italian and Japanese fabrics.
On Our Radar: Paige Denim and Ron Herman Pair Up
One of my favorite online stores, Ron Herman, has paired up with LA-based denim brand Paige Premium Denim to create a new, vintage-inspired range of all-American jeans.
“This is going to be a return to basics for Paige Premium Denim,” said designer Paige Adams-Geller. “We started out in Ron Herman stores with our classic styles and are thrilled to be re-teaming with them on a special venture.” The line lands in Ron Herman stores and online today.
Celeb Style: Ashley Greene
Like Diane Kruger, Ashley Greene has a fondness for Winter white. I third that emotion. The Twilight star looks like a tall glass of water in LA in her cozy white Express sweater, denim leggings, rough brown buckled boots, and brown Chloe bag.
Calling All Jean-Loving Twilight Fanatics!
Do you think it's a mystical coincidence Selena Gomez is dating Twilight's Taylor Lautner and wearing Paige's Eclipse jeans? Think you're the biggest Twilight fan(atic)? Think again.
Victoria Beckham Relaunches Denim Line
Victoria Beckham's DVB line has recently been pushed aside after it faced criticism last year and was dropped from several US stores. It is now returning for Spring 2010 under the name Victoria Beckham Denim. The sharper jeans collection includes ontrend styles like cigarette pants, cut offs and boyfriend jeans which will retail from £140.
The Olsens' Jeanious '70s Style
Now that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have their high-end line, The Row, and sassy sportswear collection, Elizabeth and James, the two decided to create a line with the throwback tomboy girl in mind. Their latest designer endeavor, called Textile Elizabeth and James, was inspired by their own jean collection and focuses on '70s-inspired denim with styles like the Hendrix, Stevie, and Joni. All of which were inspired by their music muses.
Trend Alert: Denim Skirt
This season sees the return of the denim skirt on to our fashion radar. I want to declare that a denim skirt is a wardrobe staple as there is always one lurking around in my wardrobe (great on holiday with a bikini). However, it is one of those items that can go very, very wrong and is seen worn badly on a daily basis (especially when teamed with cropped leggings with lace detail.)
This aside, it re-emerged for Autumn on the catwalk at Chanel where Karl included a distressed style denim and teamed with a big knitwear for a grunge look.
Trend Alert: Denim Biker Jacket
Top of my fashion wishlist right now is a denim biker jacket. The vintage look item is perfect for the current '80s revival and is a great, light weight alternative to it's leather counterpart.
There are several different versions available on the High Street right now in varying shades of denim.
Style For Style: Perfecting the Denim Mix
Mixing denim is a dangerous game; you either pull it off or you don't. The key to perfecting this tricky look is thinking outside the box and above all, making sure your denim items contrast one another. Time to kick that old image of a cowboy out of your head!
Celeb Style: Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa was spotted in Santa Monica wearing Rachel Zoe's must-have accessory: the floppy hat! Notice how it elevates her cool burnout tee and denim combo. A pair of brown buckled wedges, layered gold chains, and a black Balenciaga satchel complete her casual cool Cali ensemb.
