Supermodel Karlie Kloss kicks serious ass on a California beach in Juicy Couture‘s debut fashion film for Fall 2012. “All elements, including the music, setting, cast and props were carefully selected to help interpret the New California cool Juicy Girl.” The brand has adopted #GirlsKickAss to promote the film and celebrate the current and unprecedented moment for women and girls. For every tweet to @juicycouture with the #GirlsKickAss hashtag, Juicy Couture will donate $1 to Step Up Women’s Network.
As part of a multimedia effort, Juicy Couture wants to “create a playful, unapologetic fashion film set against the backdrop of iconic California,” said LeAnn Nealz, president and chief creative officer of Juicy Couture. For more information, go to Juicy Couture online.

The Juicy Couture Fall/Winter 2011 Lookbook is really on point with all of the trends this season. Their bright orange cropped jeans give us a pop of color, so while you might’ve thought the days of colored denim were gone with summer, think again! While it has been all about skinny jeans for a while now, Juicy gives us some much welcomed flare jeans too—a little change never hurt anybody! They come in a light and dark wash, which both work especially well when paired with a contrasting top. Other than that, we see some classic blue washes that never go out of style. This line is perfect for any of you out there that want to be in crisp, clean denim without the boredom that some brands take this look to mean.

Opening Friday is FIT’s exhibition “American Beauty: Aesthetics and Innovation in Fashion”, curated by Patricia Mears, displays the craft and intricacies of dressmaking. The show runs through April 10th.
Emerging menswear brand Spurr, designed by Simon Spurr, will be going back to its’ roots of denim related sportswear and t-shirts at a lower price point, mostly made in Italy. The higher-end collection, named appropriately, Simon Spurr, will continue to have hand-finished suits, leathers and knits all made in Italy and France.
Juicy Couture is on a jet-setting quest to make the world more juicier. They are opening up a shop at Miami International Airport in December, then traveling north to open at JFK International Airport, continuing across the pond to Taiwan’s TaoYuan International Airport and then on to Athens Airport.

The incomplete cotton muslins on display in ???American Beauty: Aesthetics and Innovation in Fashion??? are the surest indication the Museum at FIT??™s newest show delves into the inner workings of design.
Custom patternmaker Nicolas Caito personally inspected the muslins on the mannequins for Thakoon, Proenza Schouler and Francisco Costa to be certain they were just so. That attention to detail was just what curator Patricia Mears was after for the museum??™s latest installment, which opens Friday and runs through April 10.
Rather than give a more predictable historic overview of American fashion, Mears has zeroed in on how the philosophy of beauty is relayed in the craft of dressmaking. During a preview of the exhibition Wednesday, she said, ???One of the things I wanted to do with this show was to not make it about sketching, diffusion lines, marketing or anything else. I wanted to show people who really know how to make clothes.???

Spurr is branching into two collections at different pricing tiers in an effort to position itself for global distribution. The split, which will take effect for fall 2010, is the first strategic move since Tommy Fazio became president of the emerging brand designed by Simon Spurr.
Spurr will be a contemporary collection of denim-related sportswear such as T-shirts and jackets. The label is going back to its roots, having launched three years ago with jeans at Bergdorf Goodman, where Fazio was the men??™s fashion director. Spurr since has evolved into a full designer collection, but starting with the fall 2010 collections, the designer offerings will bear the new label, Simon Spurr. The Simon Spurr collection will feature hand-finished suits, leathers and knits, all made in Italy and France.
Spurr, the contemporary collection, will continue to be made mostly in Italy.

Welcome to denim sale central! A new discount member’s only site has surfaced, thanks to apparel retailer Revolve Clothing. The prices are so good, that Cheap Mondays go for $26, even cheaper than you could imagine. That’s probably why they named it REWIND, because the online stock seems to be pre-inflation and pre-millennium prices. What’s the difference between REWIND and other member’s only sites? The site has featured limited time sales on certain jeans, but there’s tons of other jeans, clothes and shoes on its site that you can also purchase. It feels more like a rock-bottom discount overflow from Revolve and Forward (Revolve’s other spinoff site). Look for Acne Jeans, Citizens of Humanity, Diesel, Frankie B, J Brand, Juicy Couture, MiH, Twenty8Twelve and lots more. Apparel, accessories, handbags, and shoes, they’ve got that, too! Plenty of fashion for guys as well. You really do get a sense that you are saving 80% off on some items, like their motto dictates. And, with a $5 flat rate shipping for U.S. orders, it’s totally a good deal. Don’t pause; do the REWIND!

JUICY COUTURE Smocked Dress, on sale now at RUELALA.
This is a simple, yet cute denim alternative (it’s not actual denim) to the awful ’80s-inspired denim dress reproductions I’ve seen lately. Cut with a loose-fitting skirt — roomier than an A-line — there’s room to move around and be free when you barbecue hop a few July 4th parties this weekend. After all, Juicy Couture is known for comfort and laid-back style. If it actually gets cooler at night, just throw on a cardigan, or, more specifically, add a dressier flair to your denim-like dress by layering over an Alexander Wang Tropical Jacket. The gaggle of closeted fashionistas will marvel at your casual chic ensemble and melt faster than the red, white and blue Bomb Pops swimming in the big tin trough amid the wine coolers.
