We suppose Amber Heard, former poster girl for Guess Jeans, can wear any brand of jeans she likes? In this case, she is sporting a pair of Goldsign Jenny jeans in Debut wash, while on the set of her new film, Paranoia. There are numerous photos of Amber out and about wearing jeans, so we know this girl loves denim! At first, we took a double-take as this exact photo seems to channel our lovely Editor, Michelle Christina Larsen. We just love Amber’s fresh-faced look here (and the boots). How would you wear these high-rise jeans? Denim Therapy always has ideas for you!

This has been quite a week for cuffed jeans, because Rachel Bilson was spotted rocking a pair of Goldsign Jenny Selvage jeans in Debut Wash twice this week, while in New York City. These are high-rise jeans with a bit of whiskering and hand finishing touches for that worn in look. The Jenny Selvage jeans are a cropped cuff jean, which is perfect for Rachel’s petite 5’2″ frame. Wear these with heels or boots, casual or business. It’s quite versatile an worry-free, as you can see. Are you loving how Rachel styles her denim street style look?
Grab yourself a pair of GOLDSIGN Jenny Selvage Jeans asap!

Recently, Denim Therapy covered the debut of Guerilla24, a selvage denim brand from Hong Kong. We decided to review the Sniper straight leg jean in raw selvage ($300) by Guerilla24, and Seattle photographer and style blogger John Bell was happy to help us out with this request. Since this was John’s first foray into the selvage denim territory, he knew it would be an exciting adventure in testing out a new fashion label.
They felt really solid and well put together. A tough pair of jeans. The stitching looks great, the indigo color was awesome and I liked the Guerilla24 leather patch label on the back pocket—nice touch.
Where/when would you wear these?
I would wear them out on a normal day with a t-shirt and some Sperry Top-siders; or, I would pair them with a button down and a blazer with some classy wingtip shoes.
How’s the fit?
The fit is great! The size 30 waist was just right and following down to the bottom, the pants have that smooth, tailored look on me, even though they are slightly looser on the thigh. Sitting down and bending over, the pants move with me so I’m not uncomfortable.
Go to Guerilla24 online to shop all the styles.

Yesterday, Denim Therapy stopped into the Crewest Gallery in downtown L.A. to preview new denim brand Guerilla 24 from Hong Kong, in collaboration with Bullett Magazine. All the jeans are handmade and hand-finished in small batches. Founder and Designer Daniel Cheong is expanding here in the States, and he’s interested in finding select stockists to carry his range of slim straight leg raw denim jeans. We’re particularly intrigued by the jeans’ subtle lower crotch, which allows for more freedom of movement while maintaining a slim silhouette.

How would you describe your best summer ever? Getting your boots and Edwin Jeans muddy during a week-long ride with complete strangers? Edwin Europe has made a case for creating a memorable experience in their Spring-Summer 2012 lookbook. Edwin words their “social experiment” poignantly: “the true spirit of Edwin jeans is created but the person living in them, making everyday count with yesterday’s memories etched into the rich indigo fabric and in the knowledge that tomorrow’s good times are still to be created.” The riders were outfitted in Edwin apparel and denim,: including black chambray shirts, ED-71 Red Listed selvage and ED-71 Rainbow Listed selvage jeans, and a covetable RV selvage denim jacket.

If you had a chance to ride through Europe with your posse, wouldn’t you be wearing your Edwin Jeans, with the hem upturned to reveal your selvedge pride? And, if you do happen to wear double denim or get your boots muddy, who cares. With “The Motorcycle Song” by Arlo Guthrie serving as the road trip’s soundtrack, the group of riders includes a young lady who is enjoying the trip equally as much as the rest of the guys. Produced by Edwin Europe’s creative team and directed by Benjamin Robinson.

Los Angeles denim brand House of Cassette‘s Peter James Lee talks candidly about what influences his brand strategy and what makes his jeans so special. Note that the language might be NSFW, so dial down your audio. Lee provides a bit of denim history and reveals how his jeans references vintage Levi’s construction with the use of interior chainstitching on the yoke and waistband. Also referencing Cassette’s use of vintage machinery and their “analog” design ethos, you get the idea that their jeans are individually crafted with a lot more care than mass-produced jeans. This is part 2 of Episode 1, entitled “Cut & Show.”
Video directed by Karlyn Michelson. For more information, go to House of Cassette online.
