Behind the Scenes Video of Black Orchid's Fall Photoshoot

Check out the steamy, behind the scenes video of the making of Black Orchid's Fall/Winter 2010 lookbook shot by fashion photographer Pooya Nabei. Remember when these kind of shoots were solely the domain of high fashion? Denim has come a long way kids.

Rockstar Sushi Fall 2010 Lookbook

With a name like Rockstar Sushi it's hard to know what to expect. For some reason Japanese animations kept popping in to my head. That, fortunately, is not the direction of Rockstar Sushi denim, although it would be interesting to see how something like that would play out. 

The brand is the brainchild of Frank Mechaly, formerly of Blue Cult and 575. The Rockstar concept comes from Mechaly's belief that being a rock star is an attitude and lifestyle that's not only reserved for musicians. Who knows where the "sushi" part comes from. His goal with the brand is to change what he calls the modern premium denim stereotype. According to Mechaly "The 5-pocket is dead" and people don't want to spend any more of their money on 5-pocket jeans. His solution? To create a 4-pocket jean. Let the head scratching commence.

Besides the eccentricities, it actually is a nice looking collection. It was inspired by biker culture which isn't exactly a new concept, however, Mechaly didn't skip on the details or tone it down like most brands. Most items in the collection have reinforced knees and zippering on the back pockets. There's also a US Flag lining in all of the pockets and buckle details on some of the women's jeans.

So far there are seven fits for women and five for men. To learn more about Rockstar Sushi Denim visit www.rockstarsushi.com.

 

Katy Perry in J Brand

Katy Perry opted for style over camp when she was spotted exiting the BBC Radio 1 building in London a few days ago. Katy rounded out an uncharacteristically dark and edgy look with a pair of J Brand "901" leggings in Brigade. I'm usually not a fan of military camouflage in regular clothing but I love the way it's done in these leggings. Subtle. Not over the top.

The leggings retail for $172 and can be found at www.jbrandjeans.com or Intermix stores.

Miley Cyrus is the Latest Celeb Spotted in J Brand Houlihan Cargos

J Brand is aiming for world domination with their skinny cargo pant. Miley Cyrus, who wore them while arriving at LaGuardia Airport, is the latest celeb to be photographed in them. I can't say I like her look. I don't know if it's the shoes, the scarf, the hat, the loose-knit sweater or all of the above. It's like she overcompensated for her lack of clothes on stage by piling it on off-duty. In this case, Miley, less is more.

The J Brand "Houlihan" skinny cargo in Vintage Olive retails for $231 and can be purchased at www.jbrandjeans.com.

Kristen Stewart in Black Orchid

I feel like I've been talking about Kristen Stewart a lot lately but I guess that's inevitable since she and her whole Twilight crew are promoting The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Plus, she seems to have an extensive collection of jeans. This is the version of Kristen I like; Runaways hair, leather jacket...smiling. She even manages to not look awkward in high heels. Loves. This time she was spotted wearing a pair of Black Orchid's Black Jewel Jeggings in Newton wash. 

The jeggings retail for $110 and can be purchased at www.revolveclothing.com

Havoc Denim Gives Kids License to Wreak...

The end of that statement would be havoc, but these kids look quite tame to me. All of these cute, curly-headed kids are modeling a new children's brand called Havoc Denim based out of Melbourne Australia that specializes in premium jeans for boys and girls from ages 3 to 14.

Havoc Denim is brand new, only in their second season, but is already sold in over 35 boutiques in Australia. The brand takes it's inspiration from street style which is most apparent in boys' jeans, however girls' styles have a vintage look, from the washes to the design, which I find very appealing. I can already envision a little girl with New York City hipster parents sporting the denim shift with vintage floral motifs.

Speaking of hipsters, what's sure to be appealing to those eco-conscious and socially-minded groups is that all of the denim is sourced in India with the details and washes done by hand. And the clincher, all of their products are produced in fair trade conditions.

The price range for Havoc Denim is AUD $69 to $89 (USD $59 to $77). To learn more visit them at www.HavocDenim.com.

Nicky Hilton in AG Jeans

Heiress Nicky Hilton's been MIA for a while, but lately she's been popping up as well her sister Paris. Recently she was spotted looking casual in a pair of AG Jeans brand new "Slim Cargo" in Fatigue Green.

Jessica Alba in Genetic Denim

Jessica Alba looked extraordinarily happy while taking a walk with daughter Honor Marie. With such an adorable kid it's easy to see why. Jessica's wearing Genetic Denim's "The Rye" skirt in Ol' Vintage.

Kate Moss in Paige Premium Denim

Supermodel Kate Moss was spotted in London wearing a pair of Paige Premium Denim's Verdugo Jegging in Dusk. The Verdugo is the skinniest jean offered by Paige Denim and is available in over 10 washes.

The jeggings retail for $158 and can be purchased at www.paigepremiumdenim.com.

Stacey Keibler in DL1961

Stacey Keibler can predict the future. She was spotted yet again wearing her DL1961 "Sally" jeans while attending the Lakers game at the Staples Center. This time she paired her jeans with a Lakers tee to show her support for the team. The Lakers are the NBA Champs. Can we get her to wear a USA soccer tee?

The jeans retail for $168 and can be found at www.dl1961.com.
