HAPPY EARTH DAY!
I’ll be the first one to admit that denim trends move so quickly that I can barely keep up at times. This past year alone we’ve all experienced the skinny leg, the wide leg, high-waisted denim and even colored denim. With all these crazy trends you can never be too sure what trends will have staying power. So what’s a person to do? No need to be blue, in honor of Earth Day today - why not go green?
Eco-Friendly denim is good for the environment for several reasons: it’s easier to dispose of when you want to get rid of your old denim, and the dyes are safer for the earth. During my quest to find environmentally conscience brands, I found this great guide about how to recycle your old denim. Here are some truly amazing environmentally friendly brands that I want to share:
J Brand Green Label. These jeans are not only environmentally friendly, but they come in a super cute organic tote bag. The bag features tips on how to live a more environmentally conscience lifestyle. Sounds like a great idea, people need to how to change their lifestyles and not just what they wear. J Brand Green Label Monroe jeans, $227 at Singer22
James Jeans’ use four eco-friendly denim techniques: they use only 100 percent organic cotton, organic dyes to color their jeans, natural latex to keep them waterproof, and organic olive leaf extract used during the finishing process.
Greencaste by Earnest Sewn is using techniques like air-drying jeans, replacing detergents with natural surfactants, and eliminating all resins from the 3-D finishing process.
Levi’s, Hollywood’s new ‘it’ jean, have come out with a new Eco line. Levi’s with the lowercase “e” are made from 100 percent organic cotton and recycled buttons, rivets, and zippers.
I know we are a Denim Blog, but since it’s Earth Day I figured, why the heck not!
The beautiful Kate Hudson was photographed for a new ad campaign for a line of earth friendly hair care products, David Babii for Wild Aid. Wild Aid aims to end illegal wildlife trade within our lifetime. Hudson’s hair care line will donate 10% of all profits to Wild Aid. Do you like to purchase products like this that are earth-friendly and do good for charity organizations?
Rock & Republic has come out with a bunch of new washes - here are the good, the bad, and the what-the-hell-were-they-thinking! Your thoughts on the new washes?
Cosbie in Reaction Level Blue - Rock and Republic Official Store - this one is the “what-the-hell-were-they-thinking” wash! Rainbow, really?!?!
Berlin in Catalyst - Rock and Republic Official Store - this wash looks like a fake straight outta the 80’s!
Kasandra in Ruthless Bolt - Rock and Republic Official Store - Nice!
Ruby in Cappio Classic Blue - Rock and Republic Official Store - Very 70’s but nice!
Vetter in Infinity Mix - Rock and Republic Official Store - I don’t love this one…
Jaguar in Modest - Rock and Republic Official Store - not bad!
Kasandra in Society Blue - Rock and Republic Official Store - a bit light for my taste but not bad!
What do you think of these new designs?

Ex Supermodel Cindy Crawford was spotted in a sleek pair of J Brand skinnies at the Poppy Store Opening on April 15. I have to say she is looking quite amazing and could sell me a pair of J Brand Jeans any day. If only we could all age this well!

New York police crack down on those icky fakes in Chinatown!
Published by April 21st, 2008 in counterfeit. 1 Comment
Back in February I was in New York, and I went on my first visit to Chinatown. The food was good, but other than that I couldn’t figure out why exactly I went - I was totally disgusted by all the fakes that line the streets. I am so happy to hear this happened! Maybe this will start to rid the market of just a few of those icky counterfeiters - if they keep this up, maybe denim fakes will start to go away too. They need to have stiffer penalties for these infridgements on copyrights and trademarks - seizing them is great, but the trademarker holders need to sue these people too and put them out of business so it can’t continue.
Yesterday morning, New York City police officers seized more than $1 million in knockoff accessories and fragrances bearing labels like Prada, Fendi, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Calvin Klein, and Coach.
Three buildings were raided on a block in Chinatown formed by Canal, Walker, and Centre Streets, which housed 32 storefronts illegally selling fake goods. According to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, this is one of the largest raids on trademark copiers in the city’s history, following a seizure of $45 million in counterfeit merchandise back in 2005.

Posh attempts to make good with Kitson after her recent bad press for DVB Denim

Well its about time Posh!
Victoria Beckham Shows Up At Kitson To Promote Her Denim Line
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - After Kitson’s owner Frasier Ross slammed Victoria Beckham’s non-appearance to promote her own denim line at his store, Posh Spice had made nice and showed up at the boutique Tuesday.
It had recently been reported that Ross had dropped Beckham’s pricey “dVb” denim line from his exclusive store after its sales failed to live up to expectations.
He had told News Of The World, “We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn’t. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell.”
Beckham must have heard the displeasure in his tone and promptly turned up at the boutique on Robertson Blvd. followed by a horde of photographers for a 15-minute shopping trip.
Her appearance had pleased Ross as he told OK! Magazine, “Our meeting went great and I hope we can get dVb back on track.”
