Topshop NYC

Already, the buzz leading up to the debut of Topshop NYC is strong. The store isn't scheduled to open in SoHo until October, but a preview party was the talk of the town this past week. Now we can bring you a sneak peek at the Fall 2008 Look Book. We love the super high-rise denim in faded blue and the skinny acid wash jeans paired with a lumberjack plaid jacket. Get those credit cards ready now!

Diesel Denim Sale!

Diesel is having an amazing denim sale online and in their stores. It begins today, June 16th, so hurry!

The Okayama Project

Diesel announces their latest innovations for the Diesel Denim Gallery, which highlights their most artisinal designs. The Okayama Project incorporates denim woven, using ancient methods on shuttle looms. The fabric is woven on traditional shuttle looms using single continuous threads, a process that delivers tighter, heavier and more durable material. Since the 17th century, the town of Okayama has been a center for textile production. Today it plays home to over 100 small denim factories, all of which are owned by local families. A dedicated label reads: ‘Handcrafted in Okayama, Japan' and each pair comes wrapped in a rice bag.

OakNYC

We've become addicted to a new site: OakNYC. Oak, a store on New York City's Bond Street,  features amazing designers and has most items available for purchase online. They offer the edgiest designs from designers like, Harmon, Clu, Grey Ant and Acne Jeans (check out the Hug Blond!), among others. Rick Owens' darkshadow Denim Vest is a highlight amongst the architecturally inspired collections. The vest has been abraded, bleached and oiled for a beatened finish.

Denim Turns You On!

InStyle Magazine  just released the results of the 2008 Sexy Poll. We like what you've said!

Aristocrat

Eco-friendly denim line Aristocrat is pairing with five different organizations this season, to help fight AIDS, Ovarian Cancer and other very important causes through fashion. Each charity has been given a specific color yarn which is used on several styles of jeans. The stitch colors represent each charity and the proceeds will go to that particular organization when purchased. We haven’t seen an attempt like this before, it is such a uniquely smart way to raise awareness and money.
