The pre-fall collection included a fresh selection of pastel hues in pinks, blues, and greys with prints like feathers and florals. Floral jeans reversed to a medium blue jean wash, which, when cuffed, turned into what we professionally describe as the cutest-jeans-ever. The Vintage Mercury 2013 collection featured beautiful metallic jeans, from champagne to pewter. Picking a favorite? Pretty much impossible.

Loved by the Kardashian sisters and celebs like AnnaLynne McCord and Keri Hilson, Bleulab provides fully reversible denim, for double the styling fun with each pair of jeans. None of their new jeans and shorts look like your basic blue denim–instead, you can pick from a range of coated pastels, dusty lace prints, snakeskin skinnies, and metallic animal print shorts. We know it might be tough to incorporate these looks into your everyday life, so look out for our upcoming style guide on how to wear some of our favorite pieces from the new line!

When it comes to wow-factor, Bleulab Reversible Denim is on the top of everyone’s list, from the ladies in our office to celebs and downtown socialites whose style we adore. They come out with intense combos, like acid wash lace print on one side, and coated pink waxy finish on the other (think splash of Pepto-Bismol on a lacy dress, except you’re wearing it, and it’s gorgeous). When we caught a glimpse of what they’ve got in store for next season, we had cartoon-hearts in our eyes. After covering basic trends like animal prints and faux-skins in the fall line, they went all-out superstar with metallic silver, cracker leather, and electric red. But it’s not all novelty: they’re offering a perfect dark-wash flare leg jean.
For spring, the palette goes saturated and light with electric candy colors like violet and lime. Shorts are printed in florals and oversized houndstooth. Snakeskin reappears in a lighter, cropped style. Light wash jeans and acid wash are rampant (and look amazing). And don’t forget—every jean has a totally different interior for flipping inside-out and wearing all over again. Two amazing pairs of jeans for the price of one. Our absolute favorite? This shimmering line of metallic teal and violet snakeskin shorts. We are literally clawing at our laptop screens.

“Like mother, like son”! Usually we are not into matchy-matchy looks (we prefer less cheese in the style department), but when you look at Kourtney Kardashian and her main little man, Mason, that is the undeniable exception. The two were seen walking hand in hand wearing identical outfits. KK is showing off her impeccable style and the ability to rub some off onto her “genes” with a Dolce & Gabbana blouse, Babakul vest, and Bleulab jeans. And she wouldn’t be caught without Christian Louboutin flats and an Hermes Birkin bag, would she? We wonder if Mason’s gear is as pricey as his reality star mom.

Michelle Trachtenberg was spotted leaving a coffee shop with old flame Pete Wentz (Rekindled or not?) this past weekend, wearing Bleulab Detour leggings in French Chalk with plum coating. The star’s reversible skinnies feature a vibrant wax-coated wash on one side and a soft faded denim on the other. We love the color combination of the purple jeans along with her casual grey T-shirt and Yosi Samra red flats. She may look more like an average gal in this ensemble than a starlet, but that’s kind of what we like about her style.

What’s better than owning a pair of jeans that fit perfectly? Getting 2 washes in one pair! And that’s exactly what Kourtney Kardshian has been doing with her Bleulab Reversible Detour Leggings in Granite. It seems as if she doesn’t leave the house without wearing the denim brand so we should probably be taking a style tip from her and getting ourselves a pair. She paired her faded gray jeans with Parker button down blue shirt, Chinese Laundry over the knee boots, Tom Ford sunglasses and Balenciaga bag for her day time outting but surely she can and will reverse them onto the black color side for the nighttime rendezvous.

If you thought you’ve heard it all it’s time to listen once again. Bleulab Jeans have come up with a reversible denim. Yup, that means two jeans in one pair. You can wear your jeans on either side depending on which side of the bed you woke up on! Their new line (which you’ll see more of below). Skinny cuts with slick finishes in deep teal, plum, and olive, frayed cut-off shorts and faux snake skins take this line up a notch with intense sex appeal. Destroyed boyfriend cuts add a touch of rebel that sums up the lookbook’s soviet military vibe. Denim Therapy had an opportunity to interview designer Carl Jones for a closer look.
Denim Therapy: Lets start from the beginning. How did you know you wanted to be a designer?
Carl Jones: I don’t consider myself a designer. I’m an inventor…What is a designer anyway?
DT: Are there other denim brands you consider your immediate competition? How do you differentiate yourself from the hundreds of popular denim brands afloat right now?
CJ: No. I differenciate myself by having two finishes within every pair of jeans.
DT: Do you have any pre-designing rituals?
CJ: Yes, purpose.
DT: Describe the person who represents your ideal target customer—the customer you have in mind when you’re planning a collection.
CJ: This person has a high taste level and has to have and wear the newest and freshest fashion available.
DT: Can you give us hint about what’s next for (following or upcoming season — Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter)?
CJ: Spring 2012: we are having success with color and coating. I will take this theme to the next level.
DT: What would be your dream collaboration? Any plans of that in the future?
CJ: I am sort of a one-man show. Unless you can bring Salvador Dali back.
DT: What are the most popular washes/fits in the line? What are your favorites, and how would you style them?
CJ: Fits: leggings. Washes: Bleu Lead, Granite, Nitrious, Vitriol Coating, Indigo with Black Coating. I would style them with simple tops.
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
CJ: I feel there are no fresh denim trends right now. I feel people should think more outside the box.
DT: Street style and style blogs are huge in the industry right now as a source of inspiration, influencing the high end labels rather than vice versa. How much does street style influence your designing?
CJ: For me it’s all about street style. This is where it all starts.
DT: How many pairs of denim do YOU own?
CJ: Not sure, I collect jeans.
DT: Favorite celeb wearing your brand?
CJ: Monica Rose.

Kourtney Kardashian took her adorable son Mason to the park in Los Angeles wearing an Isabel Lu top, Givenchy flats, Tom Ford Sunglasses, a Balenciaga bag, and Bleulab’s reversible “Detour Legging” in Bleulead with black coating. These ultra-comfortable skinnies feature double-sided denim, sewn-in pockets and two-way zippers and button closures so they are 100% reversible. With a dark clean blue wash on one side and a sleek black coated wash on the reverse side, these jeans are like two pairs in one. We want to thank Bleulab for doubling our favorite wardrobe staple without the extra expense… so mix and match away!
