1. R29 re-posted (from Style Like U) a perfect summer outfit on heiress Hannah Bronfman in a pair of high-waisted cut-off jean shorts. If you’re not aware of this pro-active, multi-tasking It-girl, read up on her asap.
2. A (not really that) quick look at the history of denim and how it became a staple in virtually everyone’s wardrobe.
3. There are two reasons why G-Star Raw’s Bread & Butter dance/performance runway show is awesome. First, it’s wildly creative. Second, it proves that you can (more than) live your life freely in these clothes.
4. United Stock Dry Goods has a spring 2012 lookbook that embodies a whimsical (but still dude-approved) kind of summer freedom. See a model prance through a field in the handsome clothing, and check out the opening photo. THAT is how crotch blow-outs happen!
5. Need jeans? Want them to be awesome? You’re in luck. We’re giving away two pairs of Meltin’Pot jeans this week—one for the gents, one for the ladies—and all you have to do is a little social media follow and a comment on our blog post. Zing!

Read the opening lines of the Cult of Individuality philosophy, and you won’t be hard pressed to figure out why we love them. They’re all about owning a pair of jeans that become more like a comrade and confidante. The line is inspired by classic cuts, vintage washes, and Japanese selvedge. The denim is weathered and worn as if they’ve already been in your rotation of favorites from the day you buy them: ”Everybody has a pair of favorite jeans. That one pair they’ve loved the most and the pair that has seen the good times and the bad. This pair, no matter how old and beat up they may be, just can’t seem to be let go. These jeans are a canvas of the owner’s life experiences.”
If this philosophy rings a bell, you might want to get in on our three day Cult Of Individuality denim giveaway, launching today. We’re giving away denim for men and women on Wednesday—check the details below!

We love Cheap Monday! Is it any secret? We’re all about affordable denim with great fit—so much that we want you to have some too, which is why we’re giving away five pairs of Cheap Monday jeans this week. We had the chance to chat up Örjan Andersson, Founder and Creative Director, to find out what’s up with the brand for next season, and get a little more back story on their origin. Read on, and get ready to kick the Monday Blues!
Denim Therapy: What inspired you to get this brand off the ground?
Cheap Monday: Me and a couple of friends had a small store called Weekday in an alley, in central Stockholm. The store carried high-fashion and exclusive denim brands mixed with second-hand clothing. In 2003 I felt that there was a need for a cheap alternative to the expensive LA jeans brands that were sold in the store. I designed a pair of jeans in unwashed stretch denim that sold really well. After that it was natural to continue designing (hadn’t done it that much before).
DT: How do you differentiate yourself from the hundreds of popular denim brands afloat right now?
CM: We are the only brand that calls us “cheap”, we are often sold side by side with expensive designer brands, we have our own look (the Cheap Monday ass), we were really early to get fashion guys wearing stretch jeans and our collections have always had a high fashion-level.
DT: Describe the person who represents your ideal target customer—the customer you have in mind when you’re planning a collection.
CM: A young student that’s into music.
DT: Can you give us hint about what’s next for upcoming season?
CM: For SS-12: lots of coloured denim
DT: What are the most popular washes/fits in the line?
CM: Tight fits in dark denim.
DT: What are your favorites, and how would you style them?
CM: Our original fit tight is my favorite. I use them with a nice t-shirt and a pair of sneakers.
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
CM: The 70’s look is one of my favorites right now.
DT: How many pairs of denim do YOU own?
CM: Haven’t counted them, but it’s a lot.
Check out Cheap Monday online, and be sure to enter our contest by Friday!

We love the story behind Cheap Monday—the Swedish-born brand originally created within the walls of a designer denim and second-hand boutique in Stockholm for customers searching out great fitting, affordable denim (ie: everyone). The band officially hit the scene in 2004 with its frenzied skull logo and basic denim fits for men and women, as well as sportswear and runway-ready style. They continue to cater to a global legion of fans who are ecstatic that they don’t have to shell out tons of money for amazing jeans. But you, lucky reader, have a chance to get your hands on some Cheap Monday jeans without shelling out a thing. ‘Cause we’re giving away five pairs of women’s skinny jeans. Read on to enter!
