Name: Chantel Valentene What do you do? I'm a designer. What are you currently obsessed with? Jeans, always—especially black holey ones. Also, Hudson Clearwater and NARS candles. I just bought six of them for myself in their Acapulco scent. What are you wearing?
We're nuts about Meredith Kahn's accessories line Made Her Think, and when we learned Kahn was working with Resin's Chantel Valentene on several summer denim essentials, our jewelry-hungry ears perked up. Last night, Soho vintage emporium What Goes Around Comes Around hosted a laid-back, intimate launch to celebrate the collaboration pieces. With Teen Vogue's Andrew Bevan playing deejay (nobody spins '90s hits better), guests including Becka Diamond sipped Kanon Vodka cocktails and flipped through racks of amazing vintage tees.
It wasn't long after Resin denim creative director Chantel Valentene met Made Her Think's Meredith Kahn that they were making jeans together. Kahn, a former denim designer herself, was eager to bring her cool-girl accoutrements to Valentene's paired down denim.
