Pamela Anderson strutted her stuff at a PETA rally in Canada recently wearing a pair of J Brand Skinny Jeans. Did you know Pam was one of the first celebs ever spotted publically wearing J Brand back in 2005? True! Nice Hermes handbag too!
Celebs in Denim: Rachel Bilson in Current/Elliott Boyfriend Jeans

Add Rachel Bilson to list of celebrities wearing boyfriend jeans this summer - this pair is by Current/Elliott, available at ELuxury. Do you like this new look the celebs are sporting? Check her out with her dog Thurmen Murmen wearing a pair, rolled like Katie Holmes. Something tells me she still isn’t wearing her Edie Rose line out. But maybe next month when her line comes out she will be wearing it.
By the way, Rachel says she can’t sketch so she won’t be drawing the line but that she trying to learn to sew. Hmph…sketching is wear the design starts. I guess she’s not really the designer, as is often the case with “celebrity” designed lines - they are really just putting their name on a product and that’s about it. I mean how in the world can you design if you can’t sketch OR sew?! I just wish more celebs actually had something to do with the finished product beyond slapping their name on it.
Guide: How to make an old pair of jeans into a cut off miniskirt
Published by August 10th, 2008 in guides. 0 CommentsOkay - for those of you who are do-it-yourself-ers, give this one a try!
Time: About 45 minutes, plus washing and drying
Materials: One pair of old jeans, scissors, seam ripper, thread, pins, sewing machine.
1. Put the jeans on and mark a spot about 4 inches above the knee with a pin. This will be the hem of your skirt (if you want it shorter, place the pin higher — but no higher than 3 inches below the crotch seam).
2. Smooth the jeans out on a work surface. Measure the length from the top of the waistband to the pin, and mark the distance across both legs. Cut straight across both legs, about an inch below where you marked, to give yourself a little leeway (you can trim later, after you’ve tried the skirt on).
3. Turn the jeans inside out. Using a seam ripper, rip out the crotch seams, taking out all the stitches up to the zipper. In the back, take out the bottom 3 inches of the center seam (so you can eliminate any bunching).
4. Turn the jeans right-side out again, and smooth out on a work surface. Fold the flap below the zipper over the fabric underneath (left over right), to create a zigzag front seam below the zipper. Place the fabric so that it falls smoothly, with no flare. Pin in place.
5. Flip the jeans over. Pin the back seam together, eliminating a little fabric so that it doesn’t flare and so that the center seam is straight.
6. On a sewing machine, sew the front and back seams, tracing the original seam lines and making sure to back-stitch at the top and bottom to secure the seams.
7. Try on the skirt, adjust the length if necessary and make sure that the edges are straight. Sew around the edge of the skirt, about half an inch up from the raw edge (do not make a hem). Trim the threads. Wash and dry the skirt to fray the edges.

Okay so as much as we made fun of Paris Hilton’s new denim line for Dollhouse, I have to give her props on her video response to John McCain’s recent ad slamming Obama for being a celebrity like Paris Hilton - click here to watch it. Not denim related at all, but pretty funny, you have to admit, no matter what party you support. Oh yeah, and Paris’ swimsuit is available at LisaKline.com for $135, if you think its hot, bitches!

We’ve had more posts about Katie Holmes lately and those god forsaken jeans…it’s like when Perez Hilton was covering Britney Spears’ drama 24/7. Katie, for the love of fashion, please get some new jeans! Did the maid quit doing laundry or what?! Is she preggers and trying to hide under huge clothes? I don’t get it - I’ve been in love with a pair of jeans before, but really - enough is enough! Okay, that’s enough, no more Katie posts until she wears different jeans!

Celebrity Denim Lines: Paris Hilton’s denim line for Dollhouse
Published by August 8th, 2008 in Paris Hilton and celebs. 1 Comment
We mentioned before that Paris Hilton is doing another line this year for Dollhouse. I had to wonder how it would look when it came out and now it has, officially. Here is a woman who has money beyond belief, and access to the newest fashions from around the world…and this is what she came up with?! Here are a few pieces from her second line. I can’t wait to see it clearanced everywhere just like at Macy’s last winter when her last attempt went up in flames. It sold at Kitson for about a day, and then *poof* …clearance rack, 80% off! Just look at those awful leopard printed things! Uggggh, Paris, really?!?!

Loading …Designer jeans have plenty of tricks to get you in their pants!
Published by August 8th, 2008 in A.P.C., celebs, katie holmes and tom cruise. 0 CommentsAnother great denim article from the LA Times:
“Back when the jean pool was but a mere puddle, denim sold itself on fit and cut and signature back pockets. Jeans didn’t claim to cure Lyme disease or make foamy lattes. But lately — with more than 100 brands of premium denim vying for your backside — designers will stop at nothing to get you in their pants.
Seeking enlightenment and a “divine” derriere? Try the 35th Street jean from Bishop of Seventh. Each pair is blessed by Tibetan monk Geshe Tsultim Gyeltsen with wishes for good health, happiness and prosperity. “I’m not sure exactly what he says because he chants in Tibetan,” says Bishop of Seventh co-founder Chachi Prasad, who worked with Calvin Klein and Oscar de la Renta before he and his wife launched their own collection. “But it takes him about 45 minutes.” And I thought I was the only one who prayed over my jeans to make them fit.
Stitch’s jeans, with fans in Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, take even longer to achieve denim self-actualization. Like fine wines, they’re aged — in denim parlance, that means washed and roughed up repeatedly to look like they survived a tsunami and a polar bear attack. Stitch’s twist? The pants are aged in antique redwood barrels at an old laundry facility in Wyoming. (FYI: I soaked my Stitch’s jeans in Cab Franc and wrung them out over a decanter at my last dinner party. Now, my husband wants a pair too.)
Below, Tom & Katie both wearing Stitch’s Jeans on the 4th of July…before Katie’s baggy obsession
Other come-ons include ProportionofBlu jeans, which use the Golden Ratio — a mathematical equation that informed the structure of the Great Pyramids and the Parthenon — to determine the position of the rivets and pockets. “Most things that fall into those proportions are beautiful to the human eye,” explains co-designer Terrell Wick.
Trying to understand phi while wriggling into skinny jeans could cause a seizure, so other designers rely on design ploys instead. Alexander Wang now offers waterproof Stormy Weather denim — great for seal trainers — and a Brazilian company just debuted ultra low-rise skinny jeans with a built-in thong. With the actual waistline of the jeans starting just below the hipbones, these trashy pants make you look like you can’t decide whether to get fully dressed or get arrested.
But the most audacious gimmick comes courtesy of A.P.C. and its Butler Worn Out jeans, which hit stores this week. Here’s how it works: You buy a pair of jeans that someone else has already worn religiously to soften, stretch and fade the denim in all the right places. You’ll even receive the previous owner’s initials written inside. In essence, you get a pair of hand-me-downs without the hair pulling or the sibling rivalry.
Of course, all this ingenuity doesn’t come cheap. Most of these jeans sell for more than $200. So much for that prosperity.”
