Denim I'm Dying For...
Previously Liane did a "Denim I'm Dying For" blog, and now its my turn! All our writers have different styles and we love to show off how different our choices in jeans can be. When it comes to jeans, I am an equal opportunity offender! I will wear anything from legging-like skinnies to super flare bell bottoms and from a crisp dark trouser jean to bleached, ripped and shredded denim. Here are the jeans that have my tongue wagging at the moment! What are your current favorite jeans? Tell me in the comments section after the jump!
Levi's Imprint Denim Jeans
Levi's have come up with a raw denim so that people with the ambition to wear in their own jeans can create a natural wash in one to three months instead of years! This new line of denim called IMPRINT allows you to sustain substantial wear and tear quickly, creating a lived in looking jean in less time. You can find the new Imprint Levi's here.

Levi Vintage XX 501 1915 'Homer' Jeans
Levi's Vintage is celebrating their 94 year relationship with US denim supplier Cone Mills through a limited edition jean collaboration. Cone and Levi's Vintage are making two very different 1915XX pairs of jeans, both featured in their new Autumn 2009 Collection. These Limited Edition jeans are based on the 1915 'Homer' archive jean and are constructed with 11 oz denim.
One pair shows us what the worst case scenario for your jeans could be in the extremely torn-up 'Bailer' wash and the other pair are a wonderful example of what these relics probably could have looked like brand spanking new in the 'Rigid' wash.
The LVC Autumn 2009 Collection is available on pre-order from Hanon now.
