The perfect skinny jeans require the perfect t-shirt. Once you establish this equation, it’s just a matter of the right blazer and accessories. We’re totally intrigued by The AllSaints + Not For Sale T-shirt Collection—Rachel Zoe plugged it this morning and caught our attention. Not For Sale is a non-profit anti-human trafficking group, to which proceeds from these rad tees will go. You can do your part to prevent forced labor and human trafficking around the world while scoring something stylish for your closet. Win/win? We think so.
They retail at $65.00. Shop the collection here.

Searching for the perfect t-shirt to rock your fall denim with? We’ve got the answer! And it’s designer Aimee David, better known as the Queen of E.vil (don’t worry, it sounds way more goth than it is). Be sure that once you don one of her semi-sparkling, pop-color, audacious tops and pair them with your jeans, from acid wash to dark wash, you’ll be fashion royalty yourself. Witty, inspiring, exciting… we love this line! And we got the behind-the-scenes scoop for you in this Q&A…
Denim Therapy: Let’s start from the beginning. How did you know you wanted to be a designer?
Queen of E.vil: I always liked to standout- in high school I was voted most original- I loved concepts and graphics and color combinations.
DT: Do you have any pre-designing rituals?
QoE: Just to live my life authentically; To let life give me sound inspiration.
DT: Describe the person that represents your ideal target customer.
QoE: Someone who has a voice- or wants to connect with new and interesting people through fashion statements.
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
QoE: I thought I would like the jeggings from Hue- but I was dissapointed with the fit. I like J Brand.
DT: Any favorite denim brands? Or denim stores?
QoE: Jbrand. I used to wear Paige denim but after two kids loosing and gaining weight… I just stick to one brand-no time to mix it up.
DT: How do you style your denim and tees? And where would you be going in them?
QoE: Everywhere. We need a nice versatile formal clever jean skirt or denim stretch dress—that’s missing… Snap to it Ms. J Brand!!!
You can visit the E.vil Boutique at 666 Broadway, New York City.
