April 77 Spring/Summer 07 Collection

Here is a sneak peek at the next April 77 Spring/Summer 07 Collection. This brand have really been carving themselves a unique niche with a range of clothing that is influenced by the greasy, seedy, lowlife side of rock n roll. Next year's collection continues in a similar vein with a range of gothic, teddy boy revival skinny jeans, shirts and jackets.

Celeb Denim - Victoria Beckham / Superfine

Victoria Beckham gets a load of stick for her fashion sense and I can understand why. She looks like she must spend weeks studying every single fashion magazine before deciding which outfit to wear that day. However one thing she does always manage to get right is her jeans. In the photo above she is seen looking stunning (at least from the waist down) in an pair of Superfine Wax Jeans. Not so sure about the fisherman's jumper and cap though.

Designer Q & A - Kasil Jeans

This week's Designer Q&A is with David Lim, Designer of Kasil Jeans.

1) Why do you think after 200 years jeans are still one of the most popular items of clothing.

Jeans are a part of American history, since the days of the coal miners to the runways. It’s a classic that will remain a part of our history and future.

2) Last time I counted there were over 50 brands of premium denim jeans, what makes your jeans stand out from the rest.

True, maybe by the time I finish writing this sentence another denim brand will be born. What seems to be happening now is brands are trying to out do each other with bells and whistles to draw attention to their product. We really stand behind the quality and the details we put into our jeans. Our jeans are more subtle when it comes to the details, and that is what we have become known for.

3) Who do you imagine is your typical customer.

Someone who understands premium quality and appreciates a great fit. We are not looking for the customer to buy jeans for the name; we want the ones that pay attention to the product.

People's Liberation For Tommy Lee

Last week Tommy Lee was in Bloomingdales promoting his new People's Liberation For Tommy Lee Jeans. These days having your own line of jeans is just another celebrity brand extension like the latest movie, album, reality tv program, fragrance and biography. I don't necessarily have a problem with this when it looks some thought has gone into the jeans - like with Justin Timberlake's William Rast collection. However from the look of these jeans Tommy must have spent all of half an hour working on them. There is nothing interesting about them whatsoever, all they seem to have done is taken a couple of Tommy's tattoos and used them for the back pocket design. Not only are these some of the the lamest celebrity jeans I have come across, I would say they are not even the best line of jeans by a member of Motley Crue!
