DENHAM: 1st Edition Select

Posted in: Collections

We all know that Japanese denim is special and it represents the signature of most premium denim brands. That’s why the guys at DENHAM took it upon themselves this season to travel deep in to the heart of Japanese denim culture. They visited new finishing houses run by artisans who are deeply passionate about what they do. Together, they formulated recipes based on DENHAM library pieces and discovered several finishes built on a foundation of narrow loom red selvedge denim.

This month, DENHAM will release a new collection based on their findings called 1st EDITION SELECT. The denims within the collection took 6 months to create, were specially hand made in Japan and will only be available in very limited numbers. For your chance to grab a pair of these 100% handmade Japanese denim jeans, check out COLETTE (Paris) or PRESENT (London).

ASOS Autumn/Winter 2010 Preview

Posted in: Collections, Not Strictly Denim

We wouldn’t normally feature ASOS on Denim Geek, but received an interesting preview of the Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection this week and were impressed with some of the highlighted key trends and looks. ASOS enlisted the help of Dazed & Confused Menswear Editor Robbie Spencer, who has collaborated with the likes of Levi’s, Ray Ban and Fred Perry to help put the previews together.

The menswear lookbook is split into four key trends and chapters; Smart, Nomad, Rebel and Accessories and is made up of strong shots that include some beautiful denim and footwear pieces. Our favourite of the bunch has to be Nomad, which trends grungier, outdoor looks and focuses on knitwear. Chinos feature heavily and are revitalised in both twill and in brighter over-dyed colours. Outerwear has an outdoors feel including a short parka and heavier jackets.

The Rebel trend on the other hand, explores youth culture and veers into 50s territory mixing collegiate styling with the UK indie underground. The shirting in this chapter really stands out for us, as studded collars and plackets nod to rock and roll influences and detailing is key.

All products will be available at ASOS in September.

Journal de Nimes Nº5

Posted in: We Recommend

Journal de Nimes Nº5 – The British issue – has officially launched today and we’re looking forward to reading our copy with a rather large coffee. The guys from Tenue De Nimes travelled to the UK recently and were inspired by so many great things, that they could have “easily filled 100 pages”. In this fifth release you’ll find an interview with Nigel Cabourn at his Newcastle residence, along with features on Grenson and Miles Johnson, head designer of the inspiring Levi’s XX department. Add to that a London shopping map, plenty of British Treasures, a brief history of the Duffle Coat as well as a tribute to the 180th anniversary of the legendary Woolrich and you’ve got great little read on your hands.

A digital version of the magazine is available at http://issuu.com/nimes/docs/journal_no05 or you can grab a hard copy at AnotherShop.
