Pocket full of style. Studded appeal. Best distressed. Proper sequins. The Sheiki Jeans Spring-Summer 2009 Collection at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles prowled with a multitude of side zipped pouches, cargo pockets, ultra distressed denims, ripped thread designs, studded embellishments and sequin adornments. Former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day and model Vida Guerra grazed the show to see the fashion line.

“Pocket full of style. Studded appeal. Best distressed. Proper sequins.”

The Sheiki Collections womenswear had that relaxed yet glamorous biker style charm. Tank tops came in salmon rose and charcoal gradients, “Ride Free” graphic prints and studded silver sequins. One top, in particular, was a blend of lingerie and blouse in sheer black fabric and laced center bust line. Another top to note was a cross pattern cut with a close neckline, black fabric in studded silver sequins and open air rib to hip areas. On the other hand, shirts were in graphic prints, form fitting, tight cut and usually had a short hemline on the navel area. One vest came with full studded rose dust or pale gray leather material.

The Sheiki Jeans assortment featured:

• Relaxed cut and tapered leg with zipped back pockets, side cargo flap pouches in dark denim jeans.
• Slim cut and low waisted jeans in a faded distressed look with many zipped front pockets.
• Boot cut and an ultra distressed look with severe ripped thread front leg areas in dark denim.
• Slim cut and low waisted jeans in red stitching and two button front loops.
• Flare cut, normal waist with a wide waistband and off front pockets in dark retro denim.
• Flare cut, slim leg, normal waist with embroidery on right front leg, studs on belt loops and fairly distressed denim.
• Slightly wide leg, slim thigh with severe ripped threads from top to bottom legs in faded distressed denim jeans.

Denim design stand outs included:

• Sheiki signature back pocket over a spade shape black sequined pattern.
• Heavily studded design on coin and front pockets.
• Red stitching with metallic buttons on belt loops.
• Wide waistband with two button closures in retro cut and front zipped pockets.
• Shiny rose dust or pale gray jeans with a studded waistband.

Founded in 2006 by Sheila Marie, Sheiki Jeans became well known for its tailored fit, back pockets that accentuate the butt and its detailed denim embellishments. The Sheiki Jeans Spring-Summer 2009 Collection continued on its trademark style with a fresh “Ride Free” biker flavor.
