Press Preview F/W 2013 Week 1 and 2

{MiH selvedge menjeans}

Press previews give us editors a chance to check out the new styles that will be hitting the stores come fall. What is going to be hot right now and what will continue for the next season. A very important question if you want to “invest” in a great pair of jeans. Like, I don’t really want to spend big bucks on a pair of jeans I know will be so yesterday when fall comes….

So here are my impressions: motorcycle, high-waisted and coated are absolutely a MUST for now as well for the coming season. Printed jeans, too, but I see more denim on denim prints than those overpowering summer prints for fall. Metallics – more discreet, more destructed and less shining are not going anywhere soon. And to my delight, more and more brands are investing in selvedge for women. Yes, these are going to cost more, right, but then again, if you want to have “that special” feel that comes when wearing a – let’s say, YSL haute couture dress – well, that’s kind of how I feel about selvedge jeans. And there are quite a few brands that are offering selvedge for a reasonable price without giving up on the quality of the selvedge, like, for instance, Level99 and Cult Of Individuality, which will have their selvedge jeans in stores soon and Levi’s who carry them right now.

So check out my first impressions and stay tuned for more to come in the following weeks!
