Lately there seems to have been a gender role reversal and the lines have become blurred in fashion as far as what women should wear and what men should wear. Now we are seeing guys wear makeup and girl’s jeans, and girls who wear menswear like ties and trousers. We personally love those little menswear vests for women that are out right now - just bought one and it is hot! There is something sexy about wearing something traditionally seen on the opposite gender.
Cross-gender clothing is quickly becoming a hot trend instead of a rare occurrence. Obviously, wearing girl’s jeans does not make a guy gay. Guys have admitted that they sometimes prefer the fit of girl’s jeans because of the slender lines and cuts of the denim. There was even a recent discussion men who like women’s jeans in the HonestForum - why should men feel uncomfortably trying on women’s jeans if they prefer the fit? The fashion industry has begun to pick up on this because now designers like Diesel jeans, Chip & Pepper, and Armani Exchange are presenting new skinny and more fitted jeans for men. We think skinny jeans are very rockstar looking on men AND women!

She’s outta rehab, AGAIN. Here’s Lindsay Lohan rockin’ some Joe’s Jeans. We can’t stand her but at least she has good fashion sense most of the time!

in Louis Vuitton.
Hot for 2007/2008 is Louis Vuitton’s Something Blue denim line - many of their monogram denim collections come in two shades of denim - black or blue. We are loving this Neo Cabby but its an investment at $1,500! Maybe Santa will bring it to us! Pretty please, we’ll be good! Do you love it?

in new brands.
Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? Not all of us are 5′11″ models and its such a pain to get your jeans hemmed (but we do it!) Now designer Allison Izu Nagato makes her debut of Allisonizu tonight in Hawaii. The premium denim collection has been made specifically for petite frames (5′4″ and under), with attention given to details like inseam length, proper knee breaks, pocket placement, and a figure flattering waistband. The 2008 allisonizu collection is expected in stores sometime next year. Can’t wait! We hope some of our other favorite designers will do some shorter inseam jeans one of these days!
EDIT - changed the picture.

in DVB and celebs.
Because we love pics of celebs in denim! Spotted: Victoria Beckham in her DVB Dark Indigo Straight Leg with Bronze Star jeans. Look how she intentionally pulls up her jacket just a bit so we can all see her denim line! She knows celeb photos sell jeans! What do you think about DVB jeans? Do they fit as nice as R&R’s?

in Chanel and new trends.
We all knew denim was hot, but in Chanel’s recent fashion show for the 2008 lineup, Karl Lagerfeld showed us that he loves the versatility of denim. His show had lots of Americana influences with stars and stripes in a red, white and blue theme throughout the show. We love the high waisted jeans on the model to the right!

in diesel jeans and things we love.
Diesel has just launched Fuel for Life- a new set of fragrances for men and women. The women’s 75ml bottle retails for $64.50 and the scent is described as “a secret elixir of sexy blackcurrant, precious jasmine and antique patchouli for her”. We love Patchouli so we are definitely going to have to try this out! The men’s 75ml bottle retails for $59.50 (why is it that men’s stuff is always cheaper? What’s up with that?!) and is described as “a magic potion of mysterious star anise, vintage raspberry and authentic heliotropine for him.” Magic huh? We’ll be the judge of that! Can’t wait to try it!
Be the first to zip on one of these new premium denim lines - we are starting to see lots of celebs in them too!
18th Amendment jeans - check out the Colbert flared jeans (above) in Speakeasy wash - $220 at ShopBop.com

Aristocrat jeans - we love these Tinsley wide leg jeans - the cut is fab! Available at Nordstrom.com for $216.
We are loving these beautiful wide leg black pants by 7 for All Mankind. They are dark black denim but these are pretty enough to wear to the office and get away with wearing jeans! On sale at Nordstrom for $109.90!
