For those of us that love PRPS jeans but just can’t afford the high price tag, here is the solution! King Krash jeans were founded by denim legend Donwan Harrell, the man behind PRPS jeans! King Krash takes its inspiration from the illegal street racing days of 1970’s Manhattan – an era of disco, fast women and even faster cars, where gang culture was rampant and the clothes you wore were as much a part of the scene as the racing itself.
A fervent muscle car junkie from a young age, Harrell ransacked his photo archives and those of his drag racing friends for King Krash inspiration. Each item is finished with Harrell’s unrivalled attention to detail and wash techniques, faithfully replicating the stains, creases, abrasions and rips resulting from a life lived in the fast lane.
The price point of these jeans is from £105-£145. Much more affordable. What do you think of the cuts and washes? These jeans are available to buy at Coggles.com.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are to launch denim under their Elizabeth and James line. The line will be named Textile and is inspired by the 70s. The line consists of three styles at the moment: bell-bottom, a slouchy fit in a light used wash and another slouchy fit in a sun exposed wash. I’m surprised not to see any super skinny or distressed styles, those are usually associated with the twins. A full collection is in the works to come out in the fall and the current pieces will be available in March.

She already has a thriving shoe and handbag line, and now she’s moving on to denim. Jessica Simpson recently partnered with Jones of New York to create her own denim collection.
The collection will feature all different styles of jeans, many which Jessica is a fan of. There will be jeggings, skinnies and infamous flares (perhaps more flattering). The collection should be in nearly 700 stores this fall.
Jessica said the inspiration behind her line was “I was inspired to create a great denim line that complements the entire Jessica Simpson lifestyle brand — a jean that becomes a girl’s best friend, that everyday go-to pair.”

Nine Days is a new denim brand is just introducing itself into the fashion market. Some of their styles look really cute and very on trend. They have a lot of tie dye styles, coloured denim and interesting washes. Here is some more info on the brand:
Leadership is the prerogative of the brave. The courage to be first is only imbued in the select few with the rest relegated to the anonymity of mediocrity. For the past decade, Donwan Harrell has been at the forefront of innovation in the denim industry leaving the competition with no choice but to follow suit. With Nine Days denim, Harrell brings his revolutionary design to those of the revolutionary mindset. To those who separate themselves from the masses. The iconoclasts, the counter culturists. Those who wear their fashion as a badge of honor indicating that they are unlike the rest.
Nine Days is the product of ingenuity and art using denim as a canvas. Forged from the mind that brought you PRPS, Harrell now brings you the color of 70’s revolution and the attitude of 80’s punk in a timeline convergent with the fashion forward – with an average retail price under $120 as to lower the price on the ownership of cool.
Using premium denim with unconventional washes and treatments, Nine Days is not for those that accept the uniform. This is for the influencers, the early adopters, the beneficiaries of the flattery which is bred by imitation. To win the race you can’t be afraid to take the lead. Follow No One.
