Celebs in Denim: Emma Watson in American Eagle Denim Jacket

Normally a fashionista, Emma Watson takes it down a notch, as she goes shopping with her boyfriend. Emma wore an American Eagle denim jacket, paired with sweats and sneakers (but a Chanel purse!), perhaps she was a bit tired from all the press for Harry Potter. But she’ll fit right in as her new role as a university student!

New Denim line by Alanis Morisette and Woody Harrelson

She’s known for having “One hand in her pocket” and he’s known for his environmental awareness, so it only seems natural that Alanis Morisette and Woody Harrelson start an eco-friendly denim line. Their line, Reco jeans, is made from recycled denim (the highest percentage of recycled denim). The goal of the collection is to create jeans that are fashionable but reduce waste and impact on the planet. The amount of waste from creating the jeans has been reduced by 60%, and decreased the need for fresh cotton. This new, unique fabric is already winning raves from the Hong Kong Green council and is currently being studied by The Hong Kong Polytechnic institute. Apart from its positive influence on the environment, it also offers a wide variety of styles, from classic styles to more modern silhouettes.

A. Smile is back!

The 70s are making a comeback! First Dittos resurfaced, now Cherokee Inc teamed with Graj + Gustavsen, a branding firm to A. Smile, a popular juniors denim line that had its peak in the 70s. Graj + Gustavsen will work with Cherokee Inc to make the brand relevant to today’s markets.
The brand was founded in 1969 by Robert Margolis, Jay Kester and Stanley Buchthal. Margolis and Kester have rejoined the brand as Chairman and president of the company but Buchthal will not be associated with the relaunch.
The draw of A Smile is it’s status as a counterculture brand, once featuring an ad of a donkey that read “Put a smile on your ass.” The brand felt that so many “counterculture” denim brands were mainstream and it was an ideal climate and market to launch a smaller, lesser known brand.
A Smile is slated to launch in Spring of 2010, in department stores and other retailers. The collection will go back to its roots, focusing on an innovative style, sexy fit and low price point, of around $40. Accessories will also be part of the collection, as the owners hope that A Smile will be both accessible and cutting edge.

J. Crew’s Madewell launches new Skinny Jean

J Crew’s sister line, Madewell launched a new line of skinny jeans, called ’37s.
The line features a skinny jean, available in five different washes, black, plume, acid wash, dark ash, and bleached black/grey. The fit is a clean, very skinny fit jean. Which will be priced at the low price of $59.50, which is comparable to the rest of the $78 price point of the brand’s other jeans.
The brand chose to shift the focus to a skinny jean because they felt there was a strong market, as the Skinny Jean is a popular style. They also felt that given the competition of the denim market today, with a price point at over $100, there was a strong market for a lower priced jean. Madewell also features a boyfriend style, also under $100.
However, given the low price point, Madewell director, Drexler, emphasizes that the jean will not sacrifice style and fit, rather the 1937 skinny jean focuses on silhouette and cut with minimal details. The name 1937, comes from Madewell’s history, a former work wear brand, which started in 1937.
The brand is quickly becoming popular, mainly through word of mouth but great fit and quality at under $60, it’s surely to become a hit!
