The Current state of Elliott Denim: The Leggings Report

Published by donnadibical January 6th, 2009 in Current/Elliott, high waisted denim and new trends. 0 Comments

I love the kick of creativity designers have packed into leotards this season. Everything from the traditional cable knit cottons to Zippers Unlimited to DIY punk-inspired Slasher spandex. However, Lycra and Spandex are not the most forgiving of materials, so it can be hard to find pair in vogue that represent one’s shapely silhouette.

To perfect the look of an individual with an awesome booty while tucked into a pair of spandex denim leggings you must know the science. Or, a great tailor. Perhaps, Current/Elliott? You bet!

The Legging by Current/Elliott is an ultra-soft, super-stretch disguised as a skinny jean. Reminiscent of early J Brand denim skinnies, the Current/Elliott legging sits at the hip and boasts a super-slim, comfortable fit that is also found in the ever-so-popular “Boyfriend Jean”.

When purchasing a pair of denim leggings you want to find a pair that will work with, and not against, the lines of your body by creating a smooth silhouette and continuous line. These Current/Elliott leggings will keep the femme flow and tuck away any unwanted unwantedness.

Teen Fashion Mogul and Heiress Files for Bankruptcy

Published by Liane, Editor January 5th, 2009 in Designer Jeans Sales | Mens and Womens Designer Jeans on sale. 3 Comments

Well it looks like the economy is having an effect on heiresses too! Paris Hilton’s BFF, fashion designer Kira Plastinina, has filed bankruptcy.

By Sharon Feiereisen

The Russian 16 year-old fashion designer Kira Plastinina, daughter of Sergei Plastinin who is the co-founder of Russia’s biggest dairy company, was hoping for success with her designs in the United States. Unfortunately things didn’t exactly pan-out. Now after abruptly closing all 12 of her Los Angeles and New York stores due to the economic climate, Bloomberg is reporting that they filed for bankruptcy seven months after opening the first U.S. Kira Plastinina store. The Los Angeles-based company sought protection from creditors while it liquidates and they listed $9.7 million in assets and $54.4 million in debt in papers filed December 31st in U.S. Bankruptcy court in Manhattan.

Plastinina — whose pink-heavy stores offer jeans, t-shirts, dresses, pants, shoes, and accessories — has 70 stores in Russia, 10 in Ukraine, and five in Kazakhstan which aren’t included in the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. She wrote on her MySpace page that she’s been “working really hard, and am very proud of myself for keeping my determination and being able to work and accomplish so much at my young age.” The company’s U.S. website shows most of the clothes at a 75 percent discount.

Keyboarded Jeans? What Were They Thinking?

Published by jessie January 5th, 2009 in What were they thinking?!. 5 Comments

“Are those Bugle Boy jeans you’re wearing?” “Nope. But they are bluetooth.”

Designer Erik De Nijs, has stitched together this intriguingly clever totally pointless pair of “Beauty and the Geek” jeans. These “modern shaped trousers…often worn by youngsters…” have speakers built into the knees and a joystick controller located just behind the front zipper.

I can’t imagine that anyone would actually wear these, like at all… Further more, they leave me thinking “Oops I spilled my keyboard on my lap”. What the freak? These also remind me of Levi’s iPod jeans that came out a few years back, that you can now find on clearance at Marshalls for $10. Yikes.

Guide to Dry & Raw Denim

Published by minnyb January 4th, 2009 in Featured / Popular and raw denim. 18 Comments

My best friend Kate is huge Dry Denim enthusiast. “Why would I want to buy jeans that are made to look like I already wore them? I just don’t get it,” she says, “What I do, is buy raw denim and, at first, they may be awful, but then I sit in my bathtub wearing them, and soak in them…and then I wear them til they’re practically dry on me…Oh my gosh! It is toruture! But totally worth it…” she squeals… “Then, I wear them constantly, do crazy things like lunges in them, jump around in them, maybe even work out in them, dance around the house in them, and of course, I never wash them…Then they behave. Then it’s not as if it looks like I broke them in…because, I actually did! The best part is when they get all of the creases in them…around the backs of my knees and on my legs…and they are my creases. Man, I wish they were more of a girl thing though…it’s so hard to find great women’s dry jeans. Love my Levi’s though!”

Brand New Raw Denim After their First Soak in the Tub!

I can remember one week last year when Kate came to visit me. She had the most amazing pair of Levi’s on. When I say amazing, I mean really amazing. They were the kind of jeans that look like you had to lay down to get them on, but really, she didn’t have to do that at all. She just glided right into them. They were straight leg and just slightly high waisted…but nothing too trendy. And as she had mentioned in her previous dissertation on broken in dry denim, they were faded everywhere, just right to her body.

What was the secret? They were dry denim of course.

So, maybe many of you already know about Dry Denim, or, as it is sometimes called, “Raw” Denim. Dry Denim is, in fact, developing a cult following these days with huge fan forum’s and websites out there. Like my best friend, there are many people who agree, that a natural fit and fade to one’s own body, is preferable to a fade that is made to order. There are companies out there that are specifically devoted to Dry Denim and guys and girls alike who refuse to buy anything else. Finding Dry denim for women, however, I do have to agree is typically more challenging, and much of the women’s dry denim is…well…watered down a bit…but…let’s get down to basics first… Continue reading ‘Guide to Dry & Raw Denim’
