Brand to Watch: Rogue Territory

An up and coming label that true denim connoisseurs should be keeping their eyes on is Los Angeles-based denim brand Rogue Territory. Rogue Territory was launched in 2008 by Karl Thoennessen, who originally worked in marketing, but moved to Los Angeles in 2007 to apprentice under Brian Kim of Work Custom Jeans. Thoennessen intended to learn everything there was about denim and Rogue Territory is a reflection of his design philosophy. 

The name Rogue Territory comes from the rebellious (or rogue) nature of those who wore jeans in the 50's and 60's. Located in the World Denim Bar at American Rag, Thoennessen has used his expertise to create a line of handcrafted and bespoke premium jeans that draw inspiration from the industrial age of the 20th century. The American Rag location also serves as a design studio where customers can observe the jeans-making process as well as ask questions. 

Because of their handcrafted roots, Rogue Territory is dedicated to "preserving the trade of handcrafted goods and supporting the skilled artisans who employ creativity and manual dexterity to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces." That, plus their appreciation of denim history, will make this brand a favorite among aficionados. 

 

SHOWstudio's Fashion Revolution at Somerset House: Upcoming Events

Next up in SHOWstudio's Fashion Revolution series where mere mortals can enter the world of fashion and see a live photoshoot, is a shoot by photographer Jason Evans and styled by Max Pearmain with make-up by Mel Arter. 

Jason Evans' has produced portraiture and fashion images for some of the world's most famous style magazines. Max Pearmain is the Menswear Editor of POP Magazine and Mel Arter has worked with magazines such as Dazed & Confused, Glamour, L'uomo Vogue and Vanity Fair. 

The shoot kicks off on November 27th from 10am - 9pm. The theme of the shoot is a game of consequence controlled by dice. The participants in the project have "pre-considered elements which will be brought together arbitrarily on the day to create unexpected stylistic collisions." The shoot will reverse the perspective by shooting towards a two-way mirror to give the audience the model's view of the process.

There will also be musical accompaniment by Andrew Ferguson.

Jay-Z in G-Star Raw

Jay-Z took a cue from style icon David Beckham at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York by sporting a denim shirt/jacket by G-Star Raw and jeans.

UK Band The Vanities Rock Diesel's Rockin' Dots

UK based glam rock band The Vanities wore items from Diesel's new Rockin' Dots capsule collection in the new video for their song Dolly. 

The Vanities were chosen over 10,000 unsigned or emerging artists by Diesel:U:Music to be the first to create a music video for what will be a series of videos featuring new talent. Their music takes inspiration from spiritual blues, soul and rock & roll and they were chosen "for their heavy on the hooks, idiosyncratic glam rock". 

The video, produced by the Diesel Creative Team, is a visually appealing, monochromatic kaleidoscope. It can only be seen online but expect to hear more from this band in the future
