You don’t have to be a denim-head to remember your first pair of jeans. Usually they’re the pair you’ve had for the longest time and have the most damage — the jeans you never want to part with. We talked to Nate, Brooklynite and denim lover, about his very first pair of jeans — green denim and corduroy bell-bottoms. See what he has to say about how he wore them to the bone and how he wishes he’d kept them so Denim Therapy could come to his rescue, nearly thirty years later.

America’s curly haired, guitar-playing sweetheart gets an incredible 70s makeover in this month’s issue of Vogue, donning straight locks, flowing fabrics, and some gorgeous denim. See more of the shoot below, with T-Swift in Levi’s Made & Crafted (big hat and sunglasses shot) and Rag & Bone (standing by the fireplace), plus the divine hippie pieces by Michael Kors and Rodarte. It just goes to show, jeans go with everything.

Matias Denim is anything short of California cool in its latest lookbook. The brand keeps things totally LA for spring with poolside fun, American flag bandannas (and shoes), and a wide selection of casual denim separates perfect for the Cali heat! We love the mix of distressed stone wash jeans in blues and greys with laid back 70s influences like oversized stripes, wide-brimmed hats, and fringe. Definitely perfect for weekend getaways, festivals, and soaking up the West Coast heat. Don’t worry everyone, spring will be here before you know it!

Harieth Paul channels true 1970?s cool in this fashion editorial for the July 2011 pages of Elle Canada. Shot by Richard Bernardin the Tanzanian beauty is definitely giving us a classic foxy vibe in bold floral print separates, and some of the summer seasons hottest denim looks. We’re pretty much in love with the amazing shredded denim overalls but we have to admit our favorite look is definitely the Stella McCartney oversized denim tunic styled with those killer lace -up thigh-high boots. Hands down our favorite take on the 70s trend to date!

It’s safe to say that by now we’re all in the-know about the comeback of 70s fashion, especially when it comes to the wide-leg denim trend. Clearly we’re into it, but we’re not going to lie—we totally wish it would have come back with a bit more edge. So when we came across this killer editorial in the June 2011 edition of Style Singapore featuring some amazing denim looks with true 70s glam rock cred we were totally hyped to say the least. Modernized to perfection yet keeping with the drama that was 70s glam this has totally satisfied our fashion cravings!
