New Calvin Klein Jeans Commercial - Uncensored

Introducing the new Calvin Klein Jeans commercial for 2009 and in true Calvin Klein fashion it pushes the envelope. Shot by Steven Meisel, the ad features models Anna Selezneva, Edita Vilkeviciute, Anna Jagodzinska, Natasha Poly, Vladimir Ivanov and Danny Schwarz. Two guys, four girls. Doesn't take a genius to figure out where this is going. The ad is so racy that it will have to be edited for the US market but those lucky Europeans get to watch it in all its full glory. 

Lanvin & Acne Denim Hi-Tops

We have to admit, we were kind of on the fence about the Lanvin + Acne collaboration, but this we like. These were featured on Denim & Sole and we think their pretty fantastic. The sneakers have a denim upper with patent leather detailing and waxed laces. They're going for 415 euros and are available at Colette in store or, for those of us outside of Paris, online.

5F: Theory Trunk Show

Bergdorf Goodman is having an online trunk show featuring Theory and it's worth taking a look. The item which caught our attention is the cute denim onesie in the ad. This is supposed to be a key look for Spring/Summer 2009 and one of our personal favorites. Check out some of our past reviews here and here.

Flare, Flare and More Flare

There are several denim silhouettes that haven't yet reached the popularity of the skinny, but are still set to make an impact and one of them is the flare. This isn't the style's first time around the block, for as we all know, trends tend to recycle, but this time it's coming to us with a lot more variety. Check out some of the looks we found inspirational.

Tom Ford and the $990 Jeans

Recession. What recession? If you live in the world of Tom Ford than it doesn't exist. And to prove it, the man himself has just launched a line of jeans that will retail for a jaw-dropping $990. The jeans will be made of pre-washed/pre-shrunk Japanese selvage denim that will have the look of raw denim, but without the side-effects such as indigo bleed. In addition, the pockets are lined with the finest silk and the button closure is plated with 18-karat gold. Men will have the option of black or white as well as the traditional indigo color to compliment their wardrobes. We are dying to see what a pair of $990 jeans looks like, and when we do, you will too. Stay tuned... 

The Kluminator Strikes Again

Heidi Klum gives Tyra Banks a run for her model money with several successful shows on cable and television, but one area she lays the smackdown on Tyra is in her sense of style. Heidi knows how to pull a look together and is guaranteed to have a killer ensemble at any event. With that said, the denim blogosphere is all abuzz over Heidi's chosen garb at last week's taping of Germany's Next Top Model, held at the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas. The 7 for all Mankind jeans she's wearing combines two looks bound to make a splash this Spring; flare-legs and ripped/torn. Leave it to Heidi to always get it right. 

Gap & Pantone Pop Up

If you haven't yet, make sure you visit the Gap pop-up store on New York City's 5th Ave next to the Flagship store. From now until February 8th, Gap has teamed up with Pantone to bring you a range of solid colored tees in Pantone colors. According to Patrick Robinson, "We wanted to create an explosion of color and bring some warmth and optimism to our customers."

As a bonus, you can also buy office supplies, books and accessories in Pantone colors as well. So you can buy a tee with Post-Its to match. j/k

Current/Elliott Trunk Show

We've already posted this but we thought it best to remind you. Fashion's favorite 'It' denim brand, Current/Elliott will be on sale, tomorrow, Friday, January 23rd, at Owl's Lab. This brand is definitely a celeb fave and the rolled and ripped capri is already being copied by other well-established brands. Make sure you buy the original. 

Diesel Planet

Diesel presented its Fall men's collection at its new Diesel Planet store in Milan this week. A highly conceptual event with a weather-related theme, guests meandered through environments filled with sun, fog, rain and rainbows. Pretty cool. It was attended by Diesel head Renzo Rosso, Chloe Sevigny and a host of Italian A-listers. Even more interesting is the store itself. One of only three, Diesel Planet is a groundbreaking retail concept spread out over 16,000 sq ft. The store is wirelessly connected and integrated with bluetooth which will greet each customer via cellphone when they enter the store. Kind of reminds us of those Gap ads in Minority Report with Tom Cruise. A perfect example of Science Fiction becoming Science Fact. The store will also have digital "mirrors" which will give customers a 360 degree view of their bodies, as well as store clerks able to check out customers wirelessly anywhere in the store. If you live in Milan, Tokyo or Hong Kong then you have the envy of us all, however, New Yorkers can expect one to open on 5th Avenue some time soon.
