With just the right dose of downtown grit, NOBODY's new women's collection merges feminine lines with denim-purist appeal. Indigo or dyed denim materials appear rugged, yet form into tailored jean fits. High waists are the norm this season at Nobody for crops, short shorts and stacked-ankle skinnies. Monochrome prints look fresh on jeans and jackets. For Spring, fashion denim shades include lilac and butternut.

This season, the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, Netherlands brings together 350 years of denim history. Conceptually displayed as an interactive 100-meter long timeline, the exhibit details the rich history of our beloved material.
Early artifacts include classic paintings and old sample books dating back to the 18th century. Modern art photography and haute couture designs by Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Martin Margiela and Yves Saint Laurent elevate connotations regarding fabrics, while archival examples by Levi’s and Lee highlight still-relevant heritage ideals. An exhibition book will soon be available at Tenue de Nîmes.
Constantly evolving, NUDIE JEANS explores the myriad of shades between black and blue for F/W 12. Remaining true to blue jeans by not following the rainbow denim trend, the label instead plays with indigo washing, bleaching and tinting. A top pick among denim aficionados, NUDIE simply sticks to fit, fabric and feel.

Whether you're feeling daring or dapper, rugged or refined, LEVI'S may have the denim look for you this holiday season. Appropriate for cabin living and city streets, the new holiday collection draws inspiration from celestial lights, offering an extra bit of festive sparkle.
For women, tailored styles mix with dresses and shorts. The collection is about "taking chances… encouraging women to dress elegantly one day, bold the next"; looks are feminine yet edgy. Highlighting the craftsmanship for which Levi's is known, the men's collection merges tweedy fabrics with fine cotton denim. Tapered and skinny silhouettes are key.
