Summer’s Denim Vest Gets An Upgrade

Kathy Ng — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:19:26 +0000

For summer, the classic denim jacket goes sleeveless and is refashioned into a jeans vest. Oh, but not just any run-of-the-mill denim vest. Put in the hands of style influencers like Elin Kling and popular fashion brands who court them, you get a versatile and elegant layering piece. Or not. You may find that these denim tops are really the stars. Pair it with your favorite maxi dress or floral shorts for a classy and refreshing take.

Too Tall For Your Jeans? Karlie Kloss Has The Answer

Michelle Christina — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:21:16 +0000

Too tall for your jeans and tired of trying to find a pair that look and feel amazing? Karlie Kloss feels your pain, and she’s begun a collaboration with FRAME Denim to solve the problem by creating a line of jeans for tall women. Read on to find out more.

Via Vogue:

“For every longstanding Kate Moss for Topshop partnership (where dresses have sold out within two hours online), or Elle Macpherson Intimates label (which has garnered a clutch of entrepreneurial awards), there’s been a blink-and-you-miss-it Abbey Lee Kershawcapsule for ManiaMania or Jessica Stam collection for Rag & Bone.

Models successfully moonlighting as designers may not be anything new, but Karlie Kloss insists she wasn’t jumping on any bandwagon with her FRAME Denim Forever Karlie jeans collaboration with friends Jens Grede and Erik Torstensson.

Rather her first move into design, for which she’s co-created two excessively long jeans styles—flared and skinny in light and dark washes, each with 40-inch inseams—was born out of necessity, not ambition. “I’m freakishly tall, so finding pants that fit is something I’ve struggled with my whole life,” bemoans the gazelle-like six-foot-one beauty. “My secret to pulling off too-short jeans has always been to pair them with boots . . . and I really rocked the flood-pant trend for as long as I could!” Keep Reading…

Staff Favorite! Julianne Hough Wearing A Spring Denim Dress

Michelle Christina — Thu, 09 May 2013 13:30:49 +0000

We’re loving this look on ballroom dancer/vocalist Julianne Hough: a perfect no-fuss spring denim dress that’s both casual and feminine. We were thrilled to find out that this perfect one piece is by Topshop and accessible to all price points. We’d recommend throwing this on with some earth tone wedges or just as Julianne did with black ankle boots. You’d have to ditch those by June, obviously.

Michelle Christina — Wed, 08 May 2013 23:06:02 +0000

Megan Fox kind of takes the cake when it comes to sex appeal, and the only thing sexier than a girl in skimpy clothing is a girl who’s covered up head to toe. Are we right or are we right? To prove our point, we present Megan in a pair of black skinny jeans (AG Adriano Goldschmied denim leggings to be precise), knee high boots, and a mustard yellow leather jacket.
