Last fall, Style.com launched their Video Fashion Week, featuring film shorts to showcase brands that don’t normally show at Fashion Week, such as Surface to Air. Now that spring is oh-so-close, we think watching this video now [Editor's note: there are NSFW nipplage scenes] is just enough to make us pine even harder for those warm, lazy days. Featuring S2A‘s Spring-Summer 2012 ready-to-wear collection, you’ll see faded, vintage wash denim, even a patchwork piece, plus lightweight button down shirts in easy-on-the-eye gray scale, neutrals and blues. With “Harmonia” by Cass McComb as the mood music, you might just agree that this is likely the most perfect day ever on video.
Check out what’s new, including their new collab with musician Kim Gordon at Surface to Air online.

Surface To Air‘s spring 2012 collection is overflowing with great denim looks, from a cute fitted pair of dark wash patchwork jean (under a light wash oversized workshirt) to vibrant teal skinnies. Saturated medium-wash denim shorts are paired with patchwork jean jackets, and adorable centerpiece garments like a pleated denim dress and the overall lightwash one piece with black buttons keep the whole set playful and fresh. There are plenty of tailored and semi-sheer separates mixed in to tie the looks together, too. We’re digging it for spring fashion that we can wear to work, or hanging out on the weekends.

Lately, I have been in search of a great denim jacket. Even though I love my traditional denim jacket by Earl that I’ve have for years now, I’ve been wanting something more current and edgy. Then, I spotted Charley 5.0′s zipper motorcycle jacket at Scoop. Looks great and fits like a glove! One celebrity gal who loves Charley as well is Whitney Port. Check out Charley 5.0′s website to see the complete collection of edgy and fun takes on denim. I also love their short jumpsuit and denim leggings.

Venture downtown to Pixie Market, a little gem of a store on the Lower East Side. I love Feature’s denim button front dress and Surface to Air denim Royce dress. For accessories, I adore Chapeau Claudette’s mesh tulle mini hats and mini peach top hat, so fun! Santi makes deliciously colorful bags. Add a little pop to an outfit with Santi’s sequin stripe bag or orange striped leather bag.

MM6 BY MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA Black Stretch Denim. $90.
When I stumbled upon the sample sale at Yoox, my initial, non-verbal reaction was of shock. “Whoa Nelly!” I exclaimed, as I surfed through all the yummy Acne Jeans apparel, before finally landing on the Denim section. I scanned the room for my credit card before coming back down to earth. No. No. No. I must inform all those denimphiles out there first, I said. It’s a haven for those who want to save up to an extra 90% off top designer and premium jeans. You can be sure to find a lot of great jeans around $50-$60. Many sizes are selling out fast. Now that I’ve done my due diligence, go check it out ASAP. The YOOX Sample Sale ends Sunday, March 29. Now, where is that credit card of mine…

In a time when our country is facing economic turmoil and some may say could rival the Great Depression, it’s hard to believe that prices for jeans are still up there. But hey, movie sales have hit a record high, so I suppose it’s business as usual for Hollywooders with their spending, so why not! I’m sure Brad Pitt still spends a pretty penny on designer duds.
Whether you have the funds or can wait until they go on sale, which they inevitably will, here are a variety of great looking jeans to feast your eyes on. Dream a little dream or go out and get them, but either way, these jeans are hot!
