1. We’re all over the Vibram sole deck shoe as a perfect option for men’s spring anti-kicks. We’re thinking this subtle hint of mint is the best way to bring pastel into the unsuspecting man’s wardrobe.
2. Going hiking anytime soon, outdoor-lovers? Pack up your stuff in this rugged denim backpack.
3. Check out the too-cool-for-school Ksubi FW12 runway lineup (and start making your wishlist).
4. Denimblog has the Wrangler FW12 press preview day wrap-up, in case you missed it!
5. Caroline Trentini wore a denim ballgown by Olivier Theyskens to the MET ball. Honestly, one of the far more attractive dresses we saw walk the red carpet…

Do you ever wonder what designers wear back stage at fashion shows? We scoured through the recent spring-summer 2012 fashion shows to see who should, might and could rock a pair of jeans, even under intense stress and poorly-ventilated conditions. One of the first names who came to mind were Rick Owens, Rad Hourani, Robert Geller, Frida Giannini (Gucci) and Sharon Wauchob (Edun); but sadly, they did not deliver. Mind you, most designers pop their heads out for only a few seconds before running back from whence they came. However, the photogs were able to capture these 15 designers who chose to take a bow in jeans. Who do you think rocked their look?
We were delighted to see Olivier Rousteing (Balmain), who looked more like a model himself wearing drop-crotch jeans; Kaiser Karl wearing wrinkled coated jeans; Olivier Theyskens (Theyskens’ Theory) sporting bleached denim shorts; and Sophia Kokosalaki—who wore saturated jeans—represented Diesel’s denim DNA even though her Diesel Black Gold collection offered nary a patch of denim to tide us over.
