Kill City‘s latest initiatives involve in-store semi-exclusives for men and women (also sold to a few select retailers). The men’s picks include cone mill denim stripped and over-dyed. We saw a few selects from the fall collection in autumnal hues and classic blue, as well as a gorgeous denim biker jacket with coated sleeves. The women’s line includes neon lemon and mango colored denim skinny jeans that—let’s face it—you can wear all year round.
The brand’s direction is aimed at bringing a new concept to fast fashion: extremely affordable jeans and sportswear that uses the maximum quality fabrication and hardware. Rather than go cheaper in both price and quality, they’re keeping their product top shelf for way less than the competition.

Strolling through midtown one afternoon we happened across a big ol’s ale at H&M on the corner of 34th Street and 7th Ave, and ducked in to see if there were any cute summer items to be had. It turns out there were too many, and after some thrilling fast-fashion fishing, we walked towards the door. That’s when we saw this table full of metallic-coated denim shorts (priced at $34.95). Both bronze and silver were available, with matching metal button closures. We’ll be back to try ‘em on, but for now, here’s a peek !

H&M on Lexington Ave and 59th street has an enticing bit of info painted on its window… denim for under $10? Sounds too good to be true… and too cheap to be anything but fast fashion. But we did enjoy the cool blue display of mannequins amidst the miniature hot air balloons (some of which were ballooned out of denim!), styled in camel-colored leather, long tiered skirts, denim vests, and belted knit tunics. It was somewhat like a whimsical moment from a storybook.
