Press Day Preview: Raven Denim Fall/Winter 2012
I got the opportunity to preview Raven Denim’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection in New York. I feel like this collection was all about the details, with a lot of fun twists on trends.
One unique thing about this collection, is the unique use of pattern. For women’s styles, they had an arrow/chevron shaped print that starts below the knee. This was one of my favorite pairs of the collection, because I think it’s a quirky and subtle way to wear the printed trend. (See detail shot).
The colors are great for fall with great mustard, muted reds and grays. The colored denim comes in a variety of different cuts, including skinny and flare styles, as well as chinos. There are also a few more muted metallic hues, including pink and silver, which are not too shiny and very wearable.
The men’s collection was also really unique. One of the biggest stand outs of the men’s line is the use of Green Hybrid Denim technology. Raven developed fabric that uses recycled cotton and polyester materials. The collection features a few different cuts from this Green Hybrid technology. Although, for the time being, it’s only available in men’s styles. The men’s collection has a lot of slimmer cut styles, both in chinos and denim. They also offer printed styles, like herringbone and pinstripe.
Mother’s Day Denim Guide
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, so we put together a gift-guide for the perfect pair of jeans to get your mom. Check out some of our suggestions for great Mother’s Day gifts below:
Classic Straight Leg:
A classic straight leg style is a more modern silhouette and perfect update to any wardrobe. The straight leg style is more universally flattering than a skinny cut and the dark wash pairs well with anything. DL1961′s Coco jeans offer a higher rise and DL1961′s signature 360 Degree Comfort Fit. You can buy them from DL1961 for $168.
White Denim:
White jeans are essential to every wardrobe and with summer right around the corner, they make a great mother’s day gift. Paige’s Hidden Hills is a universally flattering straight leg style. The optic white wash is a stretchy fabric with enough give and stretch, but not too thin to be revealing. Buy them from Paige for $169.
Trouser Jeans:
Trouser jeans are a great option for moms. The classic silhouette is a dressier style and the dark wash is very flattering. Raven Denim’s Marlo cut is a slimmer bootcut style which is a more modern update. You can buy these jeans from Raven for $205.
Mom-to Be:
Just because you’re expecting, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. J Brand’s Maternity Skinny leg jeans offer J Brand’s great skinny leg fit, with elastic panels to accommodate a growing belly and the dark wash goes well from day to night. Buy them from J Brand for $227.
Jessica Alba in Raven Denim
Jessica Alba was seen out again with her daughters Honor and baby Haven, making their way to a friends house in Los Angeles, California.
There’s always something about Jess, I find her to look so effortlessly smart, even when she just ties her hair back and throws a pair of sunglasses on. This time she wore a pair of Raven Denim skinny jeans with some black and white brogues and a black blazer. What do you think of Jess’s style? Are you a fan of it or not?

LOOK BOOK: Raven Denim Men’s Spring 2012
Here is the new Raven Denim Spring 2012 Look Book for the guys. They are known for their clean and unembellished washes, premium fabrics and a great fit. The Max trouser fit and the Ace Carrot fit are featured in this Look Book a lot and I think they are the most popular cuts that Raven do for men. They show the collection to be tailored but with a casual aesthetic. I love some of the jeans from this coming seasons collection here. I do agree with Jonathan when he said Raven is an understated brand, I definitely think it should be more popular because they have great denim! You can view the rest of the images in the gallery below.
Maria Bello in Raven Denim
Maria Bello hosted the We Advance Haiti Benefit at the Writers Room in Hollywood, California. She wore a pair of Raven Mackenzie Denim Trousers in Como. I think Maria looks amazing here. Her whole look is just perfect on her.
I also think these jeans are a really great style for her. They just fit her very well and the wash is really great. I think Raven is a very underrated brand. They have some great jeans and I hope to see more celebrities in them. You can click here to purchase these jeans at the Raven website for $196.
