Every now and again a new brand, restaurant, hotel, artist etc. will walk into our lives and without noticing we will subconsciously fall in love. It can usually be pinpointed to a small number of factors in their make up, namely style, attitude and quality, but above all it’s about their passion for what they do. French label Atelier LaDurance just worship their denim and that is first and foremost what makes them so appealing to us. It’s evident in their attention to detail, the fact that each piece of Atelier LaDurance denim product features a ‘Repair Capsule’, which contains original 2-color brass buttons, a small piece of denim, a small piece of pocket lining plus a thimble. It’s evident in that only small limited runs are produced from their small Provence studio so as not to compromise their years of experience. It’s evident in their use of rare first choice quality denim, manufactured in a century old weaving process and indigo dyed and it’s evident in their fine products. Jeans, jackets and even bags are produced using their finest denim, and even the jumpers and shirts never stray too far from the working garment history of denim, the product they so love.

In the last decade or so Levi’s have moved heaven and earth to transform themselves from ‘Dad’ staple to high-end competitor, and no line has been a part of that more than their RED™ brand. Established in 1999 has served as a vehicle to get the Levi’s brand into high fashion boutiques whilst maintaining a strong focus on their heritage. The new AW08 collection continues this tradition, taking it’s inspiration from the roots of denim as a workwear necessity and bringing it right up to date with sophisticated, modern cuts and unique details.
Recently launched at this years Amsterdam International Fashion Week by Dutch design duo G+N, Gluejeans are a totally new concept in denim which sees the age old tradition of stitching replaced with super strength glue. Having been tested extensively for 2 years (we have no idea what happens after this but if you embody the spirit of true Dutch liberalism then it can only be fun) the raw denim with coloured glue offers a truly unique interpretation of the classic jean. Handmade and in limited runs only, these fun and flirty jeans are sure to turn heads so get in quick!
