WHAT JEANS ARE FOR

All these very stylish people wandering around in double denim and camel coats look very authentic and fashionable, but sometimes there's nothing better than a great pair of jeans, and these look amazing. MiH Jeans 'Roadtrip' style if I'm not very much mistaken. Perfectly lit picture from Garance Dore.

NEW WOMAN

I keep seeing these images, mainly from Chloe AW10 but also from all the street style photographers and bloggers, that remind me of Brian Duffy photographs from the late 1970's. Scale, volume and colour were so different, and so much softer - at once more covered up but so much more open and less aggressive. The strong simple details are beautiful.

The Chloe AW10 images are from the Love Magazine blog, and the girl in the black jeans & Ferragamo jumper is a photo by Garance Dore. The Brian Duffy photo is from French Elle from 1979.

RESIN DENIM

Resin Denim's SS2010 LookBook. I haven't seen this brand around for a while, but I think this has a really strong point of view. It's cool as opposed to feminine, and very Gothic Folk.

LACE UP & PATCH

So I have pictured some lacing before, not least from the Erin Wasson x RVCA jeans, and certainly some patching. It seems it's not a real jeans collection unless some eager beaver patches together old jeans from the brand's archives and charges $1000 for it. But there's something so great and 1970's about these, and I love the combination of really tarty and really elegant that this encapsulations. It's like Chloe meets Two Lane Blacktop.
