Actress and now fashion designer Rachel Bilson apparently likes wearing designer denim over wearing her own Edie Rose line that she’s doing for DKNY jeans. Here she is spotted in L.A. in a pair of 7 for All Mankind Flynt jeans. Maybe it’s just me, but if I was designing a denim line - I’d be spotted in them EVERYWHERE in order to promote them. Just a tip, Rachel.
Halle Berry was spotted at the theatre this weekend on her way to see Dark Knight - the new Batman film. She looks great in her 7 for All Mankind jeans! Did anyone else see the movie? I really liked it - and Heath Ledger did an amazing job as the Joker. Such a shame.
When she is not in high-fashion costumes as Gossip Girl’s Serena van der Woodsen, Blake Lively shows off her legs. Bless her heart for that.
Blake’s (short) shorts of choice are 7 for all Mankind denim cut-offs. We are big fans of Lively - but what do you think of her fashion sense?
We know Gossip Girl Fashion is all the rage these days - but the show’s stars (such as Blake Lively) are awfully fashionable off the set, don’t you think?”
Agreed - I like her style! It’s sort of casual boho chic and fun!
Salma Hayek went shopping on June 18th at Ron Herman while wearing a pair of 7 for All Mankind Dojo jeans and a Gucci top.
Celeb couple Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted taking daughter, Violet, to pre-school. What a cutie their little one is! Jen is kind of working the “mom” look with jeans and sneakers and ponytail… but at least her jeans are good! She could almost stand to size down in those 7 for All Mankind A-Pocket jeans she’s wearing, they are a tad baggy.
Finally the Home Shopping Network has discovered that women want to look hot in their jeans and are carrying some higher end designer denim lines and bringing them to the masses! They’ve got AG by Adriano Goldschmied, Paige Premium Denim and even 7 for All Mankind! The beauty of this is, even though their prices are not that much lower than retail, you can buy jeans on, get this - FLEX PAY! What a great way to get that pair you’ve been wanting and pay for it over time with no interest charges adding up! Sweet!

Did you know you can slip into a pair of Seven’s that don’t support pesticide use? Yosemite organic denim is 7 For all Mankind’s first organic denim and the company is using the denim in several styles of skinnies, bootcuts, and more. 7FAM’s Yosemite is a non-stretch fabrication with subtle indigo fading weaved throughout the front and rear. Then its finished with green enameled hardware. They are available in both men’s and women’s styles.
These certainly don’t sacrifice anything in the way of Seven’s signature style. The more people who buy these blue (or rather green) jeans, the more dexterous the company will be to expand into ever greener pastures of organic cotton. Have you gotten a pesticide-free pair of 7’s yet?
Here are just some styles of the 7 for All Mankind jeans available in the Yosemite Organic denim:
How cute is Drew Barrymore? I can’t help but love her! I stumbled across these shots are from a photoshoot she did for People Magazine a few years ago in a pair of 7 for All Mankind bootcut jeans. Even though the pictures are a few years old, they are worth posting now - 7 jeans are just so classic and this shoot could have very well been from this month. They are a great staple jean to add to any wardrobe! Do you agree?

Is it really over? I keep hearing premium denim is over and trends have changed. Actually my inbox is SCREAMING with it! And with the resurgence of Levi’s jeans…but even those have gone up to $200 in my local mall. I just don’t believe that premium denim is as over as some say - especially after reading this!
Just when you thought it was safe to slip back into those GAP regular fits, designer denim brands like 7 For All Mankind and True Religion make another lunge at your wardrobe with a whole new game plan. From huge leases for new flagships to hot collaborations with haute fashion houses, premium jean companies are determined to claw their way back onto the bums of New Yorkers.
True Religion is banking on a full scale Manhattan invasion to push their $200 pairs. With the first open already and the latter two expected within two months, you know True Religion is praying for new converts to the church of high denim.
7 For All Mankind is scooting its new 3,000 square foot flagship into Soho. Although the store won’t be peddling its $180 jeans and $350 bags (!!) until later this summer, it will be only a block down from a few other places we’d rather buy jeans: Jean Shop, DKNY and Emporio Armani. (Editor’s Note: WE at the DenimBlog would not rather by jeans at DKNY than SFAM!)
Don’t let their spring obsession with the 80’s party look throw you off, Diesel means big business. By Christmas this year, the 19,555 square foot former home of Gucci will welcome the behemoth Diesel flagship location. The three-floor shrine to denim will be the perfect host for Diesel’s recent collaboration with adidas Originals and Diesel’s own luxury line “Diesel Black Gold,” for fall debut.

And the freshly H&M-ed Cheap Monday shivering in anticipation of their own ambitious plans.
Despite the premium denim infestation, there is still no denying that the trends have shifted; now having the double R on your backside isn’t so much a status symbol as it is a suburban outlet shopper’s badge of honor. Talking with WWD, Union’s Scott Bonomo only confirms this fact: “That [premium denim] gold rush is over. People that weren’t in this business for the long haul have found themselves out of it by choice or not by choice. It’s a different game. You’ve got to know who your customer is and know what you’re about as a concept.”

For most of us, it was never about wearing a status symbol on our backsides (well maybe for a few of us!). But for most, its about the denim. The color of the wash, the uniqueness of the pockets, the durability, and most of all, how great it makes the booty look - the fit! If it was about the status symbol, we’d all be running around with Louis Vuitton jeans (yes there is such a thing - wait for the blog tomorrow!) on our arses like Mariah Carey! In my opinion, great fitting premium denim is a long way from being over.
Actress Rachel Bilson was spotted in a pair of high waisted 7 for All Mankind jeans (the Ginger style methinks!) while running errands near the family home in Los Angeles yesterday.
