New York Fashion Week: Raleigh Denim, FW12

"Made In America" pride is an emerging trend in denim, partly pioneered by Raleigh Denim Workshop, which just featured its most recent collection at New York Fashion Week. Using local materials and traditional, artisanal construction methods, the North Carolina-based label is on a mission to merge Old World techniques with modern fit and contemporary style. Here are some of my favorite looks from their F/W 12 collection.
