Browsing Topshop this past weekend, I spotted the perfect pair of super-high waisted jeans that actually looked comfortable and not skin-tight. Intrigued, I got closer, looked at the tag and lol’d upon seeing the word MOM in all caps.
President Obama rocked some (perhaps questionably-fitting) Levi’s when he threw out the first pitch at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday, and we’re still convinced that Levi’s make the best cutoffs. And now the jeans brand is encouraging Americans to embrace their heritage and show some American pride as a part of their Go Forth Read more →
About one minute into my trip to the new Paige Denim store in the West Village yesterday, I was a little miffed. Not because some guy muttered something about “artfully destroyed jeans” to me as I walked in, but because I went there specifically for the Petites Line, which takes up about 1/16 of the Read more →
What do you do when everybody’s shopping money is either disappearing or being stored away, but you really need to sell the one thing your company’s known for? Collaborate with a big name of course. That’s exactly what J Brand is doing for Fall, since they just signed Hussein Chalayan for a capsule collection to Read more →
Amazing news for everyone’s legs and asses! Paige Denim, makers of the only jeans I actually spend my money on, is opening its own boutique in New York! Yes, they’re already available at Bloomingdale’s, but any time we can avoid a major avenue / department store, we’re happy. The new Paige boutique will be at Read more →
Surprisingly, we loved everything that came down the Balmain runway for this Fall. And ever since, boldly colored animal prints have been weighing on our minds. So you can imagine our lust when we came across these skinny red and black zebra jeans from Tripp NYC. They ride the line between punk and sex appeal Read more →
We love Alexander Wang and everything he sends down the runway (which is why I wound up with a few too many t-shirts ripped at the waist) but something in his Spring 08 show gave us pause. It wasn’t the ripped jean shorts, or even the midriff baring tops (obviously) – the thing that really Read more →
J Brand, the jeans often worn by Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford, is launching a new denim line for those of us who don’t make a living from being super thin and super tall.

A curious phenomenon is sweeping the streets of New York, and we’re dying to know if you’ve seen it elsewhere: Girls strapping their gladiator sandals over their skinny jeans. It can look clumsy if you don’t have the right proportions for it (hint: if your legs are quite short, turn away from the screen), but Read more →
It’s all happening: Starting next week, Ruffian takes over the back room at Earnest Sewn’s store in the Meatpacking District, hyping their insane ’08 line (needlepoint graffiti cocktail dresses, skinny denim suits) and collaborating with artist Anne Koch on a new visual installation. The space and the clothes are based on the Boarding-School-Rebel theme, with Read more →
Fashion junkies around the city had one big question after reading Emily Nussbaum’s Sex and the City article in New York this week: Who was the crazy denim publicist who stalked SJP through the West Village to hand her a pair of really cute jeans? We had our suspicions, and now they’re confirmed: The Blue Read more →
Shopping trips, no matter the goal, inevitably turn into another leg of my neverending quest for the perfect pair of jeans. My biggest denim issue has always been length – it seems like every pair is made for the Elle McPhersons of the world, while I hover just above the 5’0″ mark. Oh, just get Read more →
