The luxury brand recently unveiled its limited edition of denim jacket collection for Dover Street Market(DSM) which is going to release worldwide on January 14,2017 with a wallet emptyingÂ price ofÂ approx. USD 3,300 . The DSM-exclusive collection consists of a stonewashed denim jacket which has embroideries of dogs and bees and features a red Gucci brand tag to differentiate the pieces from their originals from the â€™70s. The denim jacket is richly embellished with needlepoint florals and cats and dogs. TheÂ Â appliquÃ©sÂ are applied by hand, a process that takes hours to complete. The textured fabric has a heavyweight and soft feel that is obtained from a stone washing treatment. The jeans is made in Italy.. The jacket caters to the ever growing DENIM MASHUP theme which is witnessing a revival from the 90s. Though the price is EXHORBITANT and without the Gucci label probably would not get 10% of this price, it is a good trend direction for many brands downstream for the fashion legup !

Touch By Replay

With its simple innovation , REPLAY ,an Italian denim label has recently launched its new collection and called it TOUCH. TOUCH is aÂ brand new jean for women which the brand feels is a perfect blend of smooth factor and a rich, attractive fabric. The jeans use a patented RECALL systemÂ Â to abolish creases in the knees and bottom .The fabric, the company says, guarantees both side smoothness and stretch for the consumers. It has been designed to enhance all that is sensual in the female figure. Made with fine, ultra-soft fabric, it feels smooth and sensual to the touch.

A closer look reveals a fabric that is made up with very fine count slub yarns , tightly woven and of course given a special finishing treatment to enable the fabric to remain crease free. The growth in the fabric seems limited if one were to look closely at the pocket of the washed jeans .

The main colours are INDIGO in dark blue, medium blue with whiskers, medium light blue with hand brushing bleach and super bleach; BLACK in dark black, medium grey and super light grey and WHITE.

And the promotion using three super model is HOT !

Levi’s Made & Crafted Collaborates with Virgil Abloh of Off White

Recent collaboration of Leviâ€™s Made & Crafted with Off Whiteâ€™s Virgil Abloh created a fine collection ofÂ Â shearling trucker, a splice trucker in white and yellow, a bomber jacket, a staff coat, an insect skinny jean again in both white or yellow, a boyfriend jean in white or yellow, an oversized jean, and a flare jean which offer aÂ very cool blend of past nostalgia and contemporary styles. The juxtaposition of white bleached fabric without any transition to the salt and pepper denim look is jarring initially and it takes few moments to sink in !

This coalition between both enabled them to combineÂ their individual specializations . Leviâ€™sÂ® Made & Craftedâ„¢ has a rich brand history and known for its classic as well as contemporary approach .Virgil Ablohâ€™s OFF-WHITE believes in fusing subculture with art, creating new forms of fashion.

The Leviâ€™s Made & Crafted x OFF-WHITE jeans have a very special tab too. Itâ€™s double sided. One side has Leviâ€™s written on it, the other side has the OFF-WHITE stripes.Â Need to flip the tab to see both.

These items aren’t the most pocket friendly and will make it lighter from $691 to upwards of $1,679.

Resort 2017 | Givenchy Denim Looks

For the Resort 2017 , Givenchy prefers, like before, to have black and white pics for their collection for their own reasons, but it is sometimes difficult to make out the quality of denim from these pics. However, we can still make out that most of the washes are Retro with salt and pepper effects, bit of mashup designs with differential weight and color fabrics and leathers, heavier fabrics, Super dark blacks with added leather elbows and knees , cool jacquards for both tops and bottoms, and sprinkled distresses. On the whole the collection looks interesting. Your take on this ?

H&M has launched a multi-piece collection with 25-year-old Hannah Jinkins â€“a young designer who is also theÂ winner of its 2016 Design Award. Jinkins was selected last December by a panel of included H&M Creative Advisors . Jinkings has since been developing with H&MÂ Â to develop pieces that embrace her signature utilitarian, feminine aesthetic .The designer uses oversized pieces with open edged tailoring and drapery works . The most visible highlight of the collection are the stapled looks on sleeves , pockets etc to give that fitted silhouette to an otherwise loose and oversized appearance.

â€œJinkins, who just graduated from the Royal College of Art in London who She thinks in a totally fresh way about womenâ€™s fashion, creating pieces that have a real energy and authenticity,â€ says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M..â€

H&M has been giving awards to students of design schools for fourth year in a row and tries to use their designs for its collections encouraging the students and giving them enviable international exposure. The collection launches at hm.com the pieces , many of which use selvedge denims,Â areÂ pricedÂ Â from 29.99 to 199.99 pounds in UK.

To certain extent, these designs can also be characterised as â€˜DENIM MASHUPSâ€™ as they mashup multiple fabrics, looks and elements into one design !

Trends From London Fashion Week SS–17 | Part-I

The recent London Fashion Week brought out design talent from some of the most well known designers like Marques Almeida , Faustine Steinmetz, Victoria Beckham etc as well as some not so well known ones. But all of them added their own unique signatures to the SS-17 Ready to wear Collections . We focus on the denim part of these collections though the rest of the collections were equally or more gorgeous !

Marques ‘ Almeida

Some fashion forward jeans from the designers who made their name with denim could be seen on the runway. Included in the denim part of collection were some frayed end denim jackets and bell jeans, slip dresses , denim long boots and some extra long jeans to cover the shoes ! Marques Almeida never fail to surprise !

Faustine Steinmetz

Faustine Steinmetz has been known for her recycled denim in high end looks. This time she continues the saga of high fashion items using Swarovski crystals, ombre looks and combining recycled cotton and polyester. Models were, for a change, not walking but displayed the garments while reclining under low studio lights â€“ taking away the detailed looks that people want to have on her garments.

Ashish

The Indian designer gave a very ethnic look to this collection including denim. Denim got an ethnic makeover with detailed embroideries and embellishments. Bollywood angle also reflected in some of his pieces !

Victoria Victoria Beckham

Relaxed looks with added elements of embroideries, inside out pockets and striped seams made the collection look laid back. The designer seems to be going for simple and wearable looks in her denim pieces.

Mother of Pearl

This collection marked the first time Mother of Pearl has used denim. Elegantly used, the Mother of Pearl woman gave the impression of a woman in charge of her own sexiness, flaunting and checking it in equal measure.

Versus Versace

Extreme distressing on bleached denim was the highlight of Versus Versace Denim looks. Created for the Bad and a Rebel girl who breaks the rule, the models wore the expression to match the denim and the typically rebel girl.
Belstaff

In 1916 two descendants of President Martin Van Buren, Augusta and Adeline, refused to accept the U.S. governmentâ€™s refusal to recruit women as military dispatch riders in World War I: To prove their worth, they would ride their Indian motorcycles across the nation. Leaving in July and arriving in September they crossed from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, and were detained several times along the way by local police who held them for wearing masculine clothes. Though they did not get the desired response from military , the Van Buren girls went on to other exploits. But their story was a great context for Belstaff designers to create jeans for the rebel women bikers !
