Have a drink with that wide leg!

The “bartenders” on staff serve up a great pair of jeans, along with something to sip while you admire yourself in the mirror.

Happy Mother's Day!

In honor of all the mama's out there, we decided to feature Mom's Jeans today.  Yep, you know, those high-waisted, full-cut, tapered jeans that suburban moms everywhere call their uniform. Well, the thought may make you cringe, but think again. We've seen some interesting takes on this style from Acne Jeans and the latest collaboration from Warhol Factory X Levi's Damien Hirst. As an actual fashion-forward trend, we're not sure how far this will travel, but the styling seen in Nylon Magazine and by Cheap Monday's Spring 2008 line, is quite convincing.

What's new?

According to the Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor, the average woman owns eight pairs of jeans. Even with such a high ownership, three out of four female respondents say that they would likely buy another pair in the coming months.Innovation and newness are driving the women's denimwear market.
One designer accepting and meeting the challenge of offering cutting-edge denim is Alexander Wang. At his recent runway presentation during New York's fall fashion week he debuted garments treated with the STORM DENIM technology, which was introduced by Cotton Incorporated two years ago.
Choices and options remain important. While newness and innovation drive the market in denim at virtually every price point, most women embrace change in their own leisurely fashion. According to the Monitor, an outstanding 72% of female respondents say that they are not among the first to try a new style.

Emily Zak, Executive Retail Editor of Vogue UK, keeps a great blog, fresh with personal and professional fashion information. Her latest entry is a passionate take on her ever-growing denim wardrobe. Noting that some of her pairs are held onto for nostalgia, Emily says, "The fact that something so practical, and originally designed as workwear, has come to play such an important or even intimate role in women's lives is remarkable." We couldn't agree more. For some more insight, check out her full entry @ VOGUE.

Lanvin does Denim

Designer Alber Elbaz has revealed the new partnership between Lanvin and one of our favorite denim labels, Acne Jeans, to produce its first line of jeans. This is a serious dive into the premium pool.
"I want to bring Lanvin into their know-how," said Elbaz, in an interview with The Daily. "What if you don't want to wear a skinny jean? It's time to go back to a product that has a dream to it. I asked myself, 'What kind of jeans can I bring that will be a Lanvin jean and Acne spirit infused in one?"
The line is planned for 2009...get ready!
