The name Paige is an English surname and a spelling variation of Page. In medieval times, a page was an attendant to a knight. It is from an Old French word meaning “young helper” or an apprentice.

Paige Premium Denim was founded in 2004 by Miss California 1991 and fit model Paige Adams-Geller. Before starting her own jeans line, Paige Adams-Geller worked diligently as the industry’s sought after fit model for denim brands such as Guess, Seven, Joe’s Jeans, Lucky Brand, Citizens of Humanity, Habitual, True Religion and a lot more. As a fit model, she helped out denim designers carve their own unique brand identities.

Her extensive experience, goofy enthusiasm, attention to technical and creative details paved way for her independent fashion venture. She launched Paige Premium Denim to prove that you don’t have to be a size zero to look and feel great in a pair of designer jeans. The brand focused on creating the “perfect fitting jean” that accentuates the butt and curves.

Headquartered and manufactured in Los Angeles, California, Paige Premium Denim not only established a flagship store in Beverly Hills but also expanded to Europe as well. Today, the brand also offers men’s, kid’s, maternity and petite clothing lines.

The All-Seeing Eye, composed of a single human eye with beams of light, is a universal symbol of the Supreme Being’s protection and guidance. On the other hand, the Evil Eye is a look causing injury or bad luck on the person at whom it is directed. It is also considered a sickness transmitted unintentionally or intentionally by someone who is jealous or envious.

In many cultures, regions and eras where the Evil Eye belief occurs, the All-Seeing Eye, commonly in a reflective eye charm form, is one of many apotropaic talismans used to ward off this type of danger or evil. In Turkish culture, the Nazar (Nazar Boncugu or Nazar Boncuk or evil eye stone) is a protective amulet against the Evil Eye. The talisman is usually made of colored glass with concentric circles or droplet shapes. The color spread from the outside to the center shows dark blue or black then white then light blue or yellow and finally dark blue at the center. The blue glass eye charm mirrors back the blue of the evil eye and confounds its influence.

The Nazar is utilized as a fashionable avatar by Mavi Jeans. Founded in Istanbul, Turkey in 1991, Mavi Jeans is its nation’s first fashion brand to hit international fame. Mavi Jeans is sold in over 50 countries worldwide. The designer denim jeans brand is known for its fashion forward styles and exotic Mediterranean feel, aptly coined “Maviterranean” by fashionistas. Together with designer Rifat Ozbek, Mavi introduced a special line of organic denim with a Mediterranean influence. Mavi, which means blue in Turkish, is also recognized for its great quality and fit. In 2006, Time Magazine included Mavi Jeans in the top 16 best jeans brand in the world.

Aristotle defined virtue as a midpoint of two extremes. Virtue balances between a defective trait and an excess of an attribute. Thus, courage lies at the center of cowardice and recklessness. And halfway between self pity and narcissism is confidence.

Los Angeles, California based premium denim company, Denim of Virtue, is a balance between sexiness and sophistication. Most of all, the styles are derived from universal virtues such as love, justice, innocence, hope and character. Denim of Virtue is inspired by the finer things in life. The details, craftsmanship and creativity are harmonized together to bring the perfect fit and style.

In the socio-political arena, the term “Banana Republic” refers to a politically unstable country which relies on limited agricultural resources, such as bananas. The nation is also governed by a dictatorial military junta exploiting large scale plantations. Today, the term is often used to describe a backward dictatorial regime where corruption, extortion and fraud are rampant.

On the other hand, in fashion, it is quite the opposite. Banana Republic is a luxury brand recognized as a sophisticated workwear and modern casual clothing line. The “Banana Republic look” is prevalent among the early 20s young professionals to the mid 30s business executives. During the spring summer seasons, the Banana Republic classic safari and travel look roars out in the urban jungle.

In 1978, Mel and Patricia Zeigler founded the original Banana Republic brand. As journalists, Mel and Patricia frequently traveled to different locations and countries. When Mel Zeigler was assigned to Australia, he chanced upon an army surplus store with British military supplies. Due to a large positive public response towards the safari jackets and cargo shorts he bought, the couple decided to purchase more and sell them back in the United States. It started with 2 stores focusing on a safari and travel themed apparel. Later on, the brand became famous for its themed decoration stores featuring authentic safari elements such as Jeeps, foliage, steam, sand and many more.

In 1983, Gap Inc. acquired Banana Republic and rebranded the label as a mainstream luxury clothing retailer. To separate itself from the modern casualwear brand Gap and lower tier streetwear apparel Old Navy, Banana Republic houses its stores with historic locations and classic architectural interiors. Throughout the years, Banana Republic has established itself as a premier casual luxury apparel. Fairly recently, Banana Republic has expanded to the Middle East, Asia and England.

You have seen it on a trenchcoat, purse, umbrella or scarf. Its distinctive trademark pattern is among the most recognized luxury brands and cultural icons in the world today. Yet, it’s also one of the most widely counterfeited labels around.

In 1856, Thomas Burberry, a former draper’s apprentice, founded and opened his first store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. Initially, the store focused on outdoors attire. By 1880, Thomas Burberry had invented a tearproof water resistant yet breathable fabric called gabardine. In 1901, the Burberry Equestrian Knight Logo was designed containing the Latin word “Prorsum”, meaning forwards. Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Wales granted the company the Royal Warrants of Appointment to recognize that Burberry is an official supplier to the royal family. Around the 1950s, the Burberry brand was bought by a United Kingdom based firm called Great Universal Stores, which has now split its company into Home Retail Group and Experian.

The Burberry classic check or Haymarket check, with the black, white and red pattern tartan, was initially used as a trenchcoat lining. After that the Burberry check started showing up in umbrellas, scarves and luggage. A more exploded, bigger and slanted diamond mitre pattern, called the Novacheck, catered to the younger market. Fairly recently in 2006, an even more exploded version of the Novacheck called Housecheck debuted during a runway show.

What is William Rast? Who is William Rast? William Rast is a clothing company in Los Angeles, California founded in 2006 by Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala. William Rast is a brand of designer denim and premium jeans. But where did the name come from? William Rast is actually a moniker combination of Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala’s grandfather’s last names.

William Rast‘s trademark symbol is a check mark with a slash across that resembles a stylish “W”. The signature stitch varies in design and usually shows a lot of detailed embroidery on the back pockets.

Most recently, William Rast‘s ad campaign presents a series of web shorts and video trailers with Justin Timberlake, starring as William Rast, and supermodel Erin Wasson. The theme is a tongue-in-cheek “Natural Born Killers” escape from authority with a fashionable touch.
