Orslow, hailing from Japan, has it all in the name. Orslow stands for Originality- the or- and Slow for the slow process. The brand specializes and is centered on the 1950s process of weaving fabric and sewing, literally using ancient machines in the process to create the most authentic product possible without being vintage. The line features selvedge denim, denim shirts, khakis, in both seasonal and standard variations.
Ever wonder what goes into the creation of a pair of jeans? Our friends at Selectism have tipped us off to a startling photo essay in Time magazine online. From the sweatshops of China to the fashion runways, these photos tell a story of the many disparities in the world of designer denim.
Lee Cooper, the oldest denim brand in Europe, just collaborated with one of the hottest young “it” girls around, Lou Doillon. With Jane Birkin to call mom and director Jacques Doillon to call dad, it is no surprise that “it” girl and muse to many, Doillon, would collaborate with Cooper to create a fun and fabulous collection for the S/S ’08 season.
Doillon revealed this collection at Prêt-à– Porter week in Paris and the crowd loved every minute. The models strutted their Doillon-esque haircuts down the runway while wearing high waists, wide legs, hot pants and cropped tailored jackets and waistcoats. Look out for these great designs in high end boutiques beginning in the spring. Watch out Chloë, Doillon has some pretty great genes.
We have more looks after the jump.
