Jean.Machine unveiled an exciting collaboration with Missoni during the men’s AW13 runway show last week in Milan. Jean.Machine’s signature styles were re-worked to feature iconic Missoni knit patterns (an amazing alternative to men’s colored denim for those who want to side-step obvious trends this year) on details such as pockets. Another favorite, the JM 4 jacket, was redesigned to include a detachable Missoni wool waistcoat on the inside. All styles will be available in early June from the Jean Machine website, Missoni stores worldwide, and other select retail locations.

1. Rihanna’s previous Armani Jeans ad campaign was hit, and now a couple of new images from her most recent photo shoot for the line have been leaked. They look just as sultry, if a little more sweetly seductive (she’s ditched the fierce blonde hair). You can see larger versions of the campaign shots here.
2. For fall/winter 2012, Missoni combined denim and cashmere to create a pair of luxe–and surely super-comfortable–jeans for men, paired with lush shearling coats and thick sweaters. Sounds cozy and comfortable!
3. Looking to replenish your denim stash sans environmental guilt? The Huffington Post rounded up ten great eco-friendly denim lines to check out.
4. Stussy Japan released the lookbook for their spring 2012 collection, which features traditional American workwear for men with an edge (think neon orange hues and bold pink buttons) and graphic pieces, like this rad pair of constellation-printed denim shorts that we love.
5. Abaca is a breathable, durable fabric native to the Philippines. And guess what? They’re starting to be made into denim fabric.

Rachel Zoe was seen strolling (and shopping, obviously) wearing Level 99 Storm Wide Leg. She paired her denim with an oversize black long sleeved pocket tee, big shades, a great straw hat (summer staple!) and a super chunky choker necklace. We adore accessorizing a simple outfit to bring it into eccentric territory. What else does this wonder woman of style accessorize? Her newborn baby was wrapped in a Missoni blanket, and you can’t really get any more stylish than that. Despite her otherwise awesome style… we think she could use some hemming from Denim Therapy.

Missoni, the high-end Italian fashion brand, has been injecting young and fresh ideas year-after-year with fantastic collaborations (Converse Chuck Taylors and Missoni Artek Chair) and now the launch of their less-expensive line, M Missoni.
For M Missoni’s debut S/S 2010 collection, what you will find are eye-popping, candy-colored confections with a fun, sweet and edgy vibe. And, thrown into the mix are denim pieces that every girl will want in her closet. This short denim jumpsuit has my name written all over it!
