The company that invented blue jeans for working men created the world’s first women’s jeans in 1934 for bold women of the American West. Since then jeans have spread across the entire world and can be found virtually everywhere.

Jeans were originally created by Levi Strauss & Co. for working men in 1873, but the category has since seen a dramatic shift with the advent of the first jeans for women. Today, new fits, fabrics and finish innovations are typically first developed to meet women’s needs and tastes and are driven by the demands of the women’s market. In fact, sales of women’s jeans surpassed men’s in 2000, making women the leading consumers of denim in the United States.

I’ve owned a few Levi’s in my time, though I wear mostly European brands as I live here now, but the levi’s I did have lasted me a very long time. Do your remember your first pair of Levi’s?

Bottom line – Gap’s new denim was born to fit. In the same thread, Gap is encouraging fans to reach back to their roots and declare what they were born to do.

This is taking the “home made” destroyed look to a whole new level.

Not quite sure if I would use the same method though? How about a good ‘ol beat down off the denim?

Well, if you have watched them deteriorate over the years and want to see them back in their original shape again then Denim Therapy is the answer for you them.

They say this about their service -

Our unique repair technique is a genuine reconstruction of the original denim material. It is new cotton thread and stitch applied to the damaged area.

The average cost is around $7 an inch, so if that knee slash is getting a way to big and you want to close it up so you can start all over again {yay!} then try their service out. Their customers seem to be a happy lot, so it can only be good! Right?

If you fix anything up be sure and let us know

Here’s a taste of what they have to offer -

Are you wearing anything eco-friendly this season?

The jeans are perfect for the girl who doesn’t love a skinny jean but doesn’t love a huge flare either. It’s the perfect jean for flats or a small heel.

You can shop for Degaine here.

Blogs, web publications, online newspaper sites, trade magazines and everyone else in between scurry to post the latest snap of a “hot” or “in” celebrity and identify the jeans they’re wearing. It’s like a never ending Oscar parade!

The most popular no doubt seem to be Page Premium Denim and Seven Jeans.

I have seen a few brands that have just fallen of radar because they have not been able to keep their PR profile high enough. Sometimes though it is also because the denim itself doesn’t live up to the hype. After all, it still has to look good on YOU!

Jeans are naturally the most versatile of clothing today and with the constant advancements in design, fabric and fit it doesn’t seem like it will stop anytime soon.

For me it doesn’t matter who wears them, it just matters if it feels good to me or not. I’m a guy so I could care less if Brad Pitt is wearing Levi’s or Lee – I’ll still buy a no name brand and wear it for the next 6 months straight! I will take it off to wash though, bad smelling jeans are just…ugh!

Not much information was given to me about them in their email so I’ll just write on what I see from their website. denimaddikt.com

So far only collections of womens jeans are shown. With names such as Heroin Chic, Fanatic, Addiktion, Fiend, Excess, Idol, Prestige & Binge it’s anyone’s guess that the jeans will definitely create some sort of buzz around them just based on the names alone. “Joey” and “Johnny” just don’t cut it anymore.

Here’s some screenshots from their site. I’ll post more information about them as I get it.

Let’s start with the Heroin Jeas shall we, which is a skinny cut in various washes -

Fiend – It’s tapered at the knee with a slight flare going down. I’m not a huge fan of the crinkled looking fades around the entire jean. I’d have to see them in person to make a better judgment though.

Addiktion – Probably the main style of the brand. It has some interesting detail at the back of the hem. I think I like these the best from the lot.

Prestige & Binge – You can’t be a denim line and not sell a pair of denim shorts. What would Britney do? Actually, don’t answer that question. I like the Binge style though, not the Prestige. The Prestige look like denim bloomers.

There’s more on the site, so click on over there to have a look.

What about you? Which style do you like?

If you are a size 8 now buying a size 4, you likely are fond of todays vanity sizing. Designers have followed the trend and up-sized the measurements for their size charts. Deceptively, our size 8 jeans fit just like the size 4 jeans we purchased yesterday. For most slender women this size tampering has further reduced the availability of well fitting denim. Yesterdays measurements dont exist on todays charts. If you were a size 0 before you now have to brave society by asking, Do you have these in a 00?

No stranger to the ridicule of being a size 0, Carrie Ventresca, Co-Founder and President of ClubSkinny Inc., says Why can’t we be proud of our size too? Its no sin to be thin. Collaborating with her husband, Greg Ventresca, Co-Founder and CEO, the couple has designed a premium denim line respecting the market of slim women. Greg emphasizes, It required countless pattern modifications to retire the industries cookie-cutter fit. We also insist on a domestic product from fabric to finishing.

This innovative line consists of six styles and a variety of unique washes all reflecting artistic design elements. No confusing size 0, 1 or 2, instead five natural waist sizes ranging from 23 to 27. Signature back pockets have been reshaped and strategically positioned to plump. A curvy back yoke rounds instead of flattens. The waistband has been redesigned to ride higher across the hips to hug, not pucker. Removing the 5th pocket and metal rivets, the front pockets are smooth, not bulky. No detail overlooked, even the side belt loops are sewn at a precise, hip flattering, angle.

Marketing via e-commerce exclusively, ClubSkinny, Inc., ClubSkinny.com, offers free shipping and free returns. The unique fit guide and concierge support make online shopping effortless. Classy styles, designer finishing treatments, and a fresh fit make Clubskinny.com a luxurious denim alternative for the slim woman.

Level 99 focuses on their couturier-type engineering and broadening the product offerings by providing women with a variety of fits and fabrics that complement the body. Level 99 is not dictated by trends. Instead, the designer brand chooses to ignore fads and define its styles by staying true to fit while offering the most competitive denim designs available. “We feel the quality starts with the raw materials, and all the key elements perfect the garment you see,” says Level 99’s lead fashion designer Amie Gaines.

For their Spring/Summer 2008 line, Level 99 delivers high fashion design tailored for a more versatile “to the streets” sensibility. With the obvious hit of premium denim that leading fashion buyers have been forecasting, Level 99’s plans for 2008 will accommodate domestic demands in top stores across the USA, as well as launch distribution in Europe and Japan in 2008.

With 30ml retailing for $2,350 and only 1000 of the bottles being released every year the perfume is definitely at the top of the luxury market. Some of the ingredients in the perfume are said to be not sustainable, which means the scent of the perfume does change year after year because of the non-availability of the past years ingredients.

Which makes me think?

What ingredient is not sustainable that it cannot be repeated the next year? Just so that someone can pay an exorbitant amount to smell like a few thousand dollars what natural resource is being wiped off the planet?

World's Most Expensive Perfume

What a waste of money and non-sustainable ingredients.

Fashion is always influenced by current world trends, and even political environments. Even though this was not the first time shows have been used to cast those impressions over to the local public, this one makes an even stronger statement than most.

Vivienne Westwood is known for her edgy collections and said that the collection showed her thoughts against Gordon Brown, the British PM, “I’ll be voting against him definitely, anything to get him out,” she said. “He has to go.”

I wonder why nobody has made shows with a tone towards the resentment about the way in Iraq? I wonder if Vivienne agrees with that?

So what exactly will Armani be doing in the virtual game. Well, as style.com reports, he is opening his own virtual store, where online citizens will be able to buy virtual Armani clothing using virtual currency which is called the Linden Dollar. That’s a lot of virtuals!

Plus, if you are lucky enough you might just find Armani himself walking around the store. If you would like to have a look at his store, you will have to join SecondLife.com to do so.

Perhaps this will signal other designers from all around the world to set up shop in Second Life? I haven’t joined yet, and don’t plan on doing so anytime soon. But if you have, please comment and let us know whats the latest fabric trend in Second Life?

Is it just me, or does Armani look a little buffed up for his age?

Valentino became interested in fashion while in high school, and at age 17 he moved to Paris to pursue this interest. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. In 1967, he premiered the Valentino White Collection, which became famous for the “V” logo he designed.

He is said to be leaving his fashion house in January 2008, but promised two more collections for October and January.

“Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that,” he said.

From Hollywood actresses, American first ladies, socialites and royalty — Valentino has dressed them all. “I am a romantic designer” he says, “I like women flirting and seducing men. The bias cut gives a certain sexiness without being too showy or too fitted.”
