keith — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:43:21 +0000

The name “Mac” is perhaps among the most well known and most used names in history and culture today. Many times, people use it as a shortcut to names with a prefix of Mc or Mac, such as McDonald, McGwire, Mackenzie or even MacGyver. Apple’s Macintosh computer and operating system are widely utilized by the Internet generation. For women, MAC could mean a cosmetics and make-up brand.

In jeanswear fashion, MAC is a German denim label founded in 1973 in Wald/Rossbach. Initially, production focused exclusively on trousers and has gained continuous success. Over the years, MAC has combined fabric durability and design creativity in their products. The Bi-Stretch Denim, high proportion stretch Dream Jeans and the uniquely fit Power Denim are just among the many innovations that the brand has produced.

imogene + willie Jeans

keith — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 07:12:27 +0000

The story of the imogene + willie brand started way back as a seed of friendship between founders and now husband & wife, Matt and Carrie Eddmenson, when they first met as schoolyard buddies in Kentucky in the United States. Later on, they became coworkers at Carrie’s family business in denim manufacturing. When the company closed down, they still continued in their passion for denim and they set up shop by Granny White Pike in Nashville, Tennessee. In 2009, the old gas service station became their production facility, retail store and think tank for the brand. imogene + willie takes pride in using selvage fabrics or raw dry denim threads made exclusively for them by the vintage shuttle looms of North Carolina, alternatively revered as Cone Denim.

The name imogene + willie is an ode and a token of deep appreciation to Willie & Imogene, Leo & Sally, Anthony & Hazel and James H. & Gladys, who are their paternal and maternal grandparents. The brand, work culture and company signifies Matt and Carrie’s rich loving relationships with all of their grandparents. It represents the life lessons they have picked up and continue to learn from them, together with abundant memories and experiences they forever cherish.

imogene + willie is about the quality of work, heritage, love and most of all, family.

Ben Sherman Jeans

keith — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:29:42 +0000

The man behind the Ben Sherman brand was the late Arthur Benjamin Sugarman, who was born in Brighton, England in 1925. While applying citizenship in America, he changed his name to Ben Sherman. As he was already making shirts for other people, only in 1963 that he became ready to launch his own shirt label.

The first Ben Sherman shirt followed a classic American Ivy League top with his signature back hook, which is a button on the back of the collar. He used Oxford fabrics in pale shades of pink, yellow and blue plus candy stripes patterns. The shirts eventually became a huge success. Ben Sherman targeted various British youth markets in different eras such as the post war teddy boys, Italian style modernists or mods in the 60s, rock & roll hipsters from the 70s, retro ska culture from the 80s and the cool Britannia and Brit pop movements of the 90s.

Owned by Oxford Industries since 2004, the label has become a global lifestyle brand. Not only does the company produce shirts but also entered into different apparel lines such as suits, denim jeans, shoes and accessories. Their signature designs also include the Royal Air Force roundel or mod target and Carnaby fit styles. Ben Sherman currently sells in over 40 countries worldwide.

keith — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 05:20:22 +0000

Perhaps one of the most influential pairs in the history of the fashion world is none other than Dolce & Gabbana. Italian designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, started the company in 1985 in Milan, Italy with a debut collection at the Milano Collezioni New Talents. In 1989, they held their first women’s fashion show in Tokyo. The following year, the brand featured their first men’s collection. In 1990, Dolce & Gabbana opened their showroom in New York, 532 Broadway. The debut of another major line entitled, D&G Dolce&Gabbana, launched in 1994 as a youthful and contemporary apparel collection. Two years after, the company staged its first fashion show in New York for D&G Dolce&Gabbana. The new millennium brought collaborations with sports teams and famous personalities such as Madonna, introduction of sub-brand collections like D&G Junior, initiation of a new several fragrances & books, openings of international boutiques and flagship stores in major cities around the world.

Dolce & Gabbana has two central lines. Dolce&Gabbana, without spaces, specializes in luxury items. They are more formal and timeless and geared towards long-term trends. On the other hand, D&G, is a more casual line inspired by urban culture, youth movement and hyper trends of the changing seasons. Unfortunately, the D&G sub-brand is discontinued this year 2011.

Overall, Dolce & Gabbana is a luxury brand known for its stylistic originality and superior tailoring. It has been one of the forerunners of fashion utilizing its strong identity, innovation, unconventional designs and powerful Mediterranean flavour of its origins.

Ijin Material Denim

keith — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 05:15:28 +0000

“Ijin” is an antique Japanese word once used to define someone as an outsider, stranger, foreigner, black sheep, alien or sometimes hero.

St. Martins, London alumnus, Philip Goss is the founder and creative director of Ijin Material. Established in 2003, this original and independent artisan denim label is based in a workshop in Italy. 3 years back, Philip Goss was the Creative Director of Evisu and took the brand on to a global platform. Interestingly enough, he earned the affectionate moniker “henna ijin” or “crazy foreigner” from Evisu founder, Yamane-san.

Ijin Material‘s philosophy follows the On Ko Chi Shin principle which means to respect the past in order to create the new or examine and learn that of the past and create new knowledge, experiences and opinion thereafter. The individualism of Ijin Material is trademarked by its signature paper chain “half man” logo representing the symmetry of folding techniques in their products. By respecting traditions, the brand creates new and innovative ways and designs using top quality vintage raw Japanese selvedge denim shuttle loom fabrics, well crafted artisanal Italian “slow-denim” production and Philip Goss’ unique approach to style and modernity.

3 principal cutting techniques make Ijin Material distinct from other jeans in the market today. The Foldedge-Cut leg cuts the garment in an open legged manner and centered on the stronger warp thread. This way the legs collapse naturally around the knee when worn from dry. It becomes a personal body map where the natural aging process or seasoning happens for the denim.

The 2nd technique is the Wrapleg-Cut which cuts the cloth with a straight and folded outer leg in one piece. They have a clean finish hem & inseam and a subtle outseam. A hip dart forms the yoke and shapes across the back of the garment.

Finally, the Artisan-Cut is an homage to a long tradition of selvedge denim craftsmanship. A low tension old loom is used such as to wear it from dry and obtain an authentic imprint on the body for as long as possible. Vintage details are enhanced with extra wide selvedge or the Ijin diamond head sewn rivets or even the trademark Ijin Sixth pocket.
