“This collaboration has given me the opportunity to express myself in a way I haven’t previously. It was so exciting to be able to use such incredible materials, like J Brand’s brilliant eco foil denim and embossed leather snakeskin, to create a capsule collection epitomizing the Halpern aesthetic: true glamour whilst kissing classic Americana.” – Michael Halpern

The designer used the iconic denims from the brand and turned them into eye catching masterpieces with his unique stylings.

J BRAND X HALPERN TAILORED DENIM JACKET

A cool office wear denim jacket inspired by the iconic fitted blazers sported by chic working women of the ‘70s. Features a deep V-neck with exaggerated lapels and a triple-button front closure. Offered in the sustainable denim of J Brand , which is made with up to 30% recycled cotton and washed with an average of 90% less water.

J BRAND X HALPERN DRAPED JULIA

This is a Julia high-rise flare fit which is among the most beloved by the fashion set, and this ultra-special version with a beautiful draped sash on one side is sure to make even more waves. Again with same sustainable credentials.

J BRAND X HALPERN MARIA HIGH-RISE SKINNY

This unique concept is One pant, two personalities. Michael Halpern took the J Brand’s iconic Maria high-rise skinny fit, and reimagined it in two high-impact foil halves: one gold, one rust. This denim is coated with a special high-shine material to achieve the look, while the denim underneath is still as comfortable and flattering as ever. The wash uses an average of 90% less water.

J BRAND X HALPERN SUPER WIDE VALENTINA

The designer Michael Halpern took the J Brand’s Valentina high-rise flare fit—already a statement-making piece with wide leg openings—and reimagined it with an extreme, even more exaggerated flare to the bottom hems. Offered in the buttery soft 100% Napa leather ( not denim but equally inspiring) , which is then dyed to an emerald green hue and printed with a classic snake print for a major statement.

J BRAND X HALPERN NATASHA SKY HIGH SKINNY

THe Natasha sky-high skinny fit gets a high-fashion makeover via a unique coating to give the entire pant a leather-like high shine. The wash used again is eco friendly with water savings as claimed by J Brand.

The collection features 5 different pieces- Iris, Mallory, Sapphire, Jolene, and Penny Lane, named after Akasaka’s favorite characters from movies, books, and novels.

The main message that one gets from J Brand SS16 lookbook is that LINEN IS IN . “Linen is a huge message for us,” said Bruno -Head of Design- at J Brand’s spring presentation. “It’s not a very stable yarn but the technology has changed so you can use it to do denim.”
J Brand seeks to tackle the hot summer with cool indigo dyed and plain white linens in chambrays and very light weights. Skinny jeans, baby flares, some sexy briefs , bandeaux tops , indigo gowns etc are all part of the season’s collection.
