trend: boyfriend jeans

During the spring shows last year, I noticed my new and current obsession, Mr. Alexander Wang, debuting a pair of what has now been labeled by fashion insiders as: Boyfriend Jeans. The look is sloppy yet sexy, while maintaining the ultimate level of comfort (ALWAYS a plus in my book). To achieve the look, one can easily raid your boyfriend/brother/guy-friend's closet, or just find a pair of the loosest fitting jeans you can find with a low waist. Also, boyfriend jeans appear best when worn with a loose, sheer top (see runway photo), such as a sexy version of a  t-shirt, or a button down.

I'm not quite sure what it is but there's just something about this girl. The sweet dress and hair paired with chain necklaces and makeup that says, "I haven't washed my face in days but I keep reapplying because I just have too many awesome parties to go to" just really does it.

A collage I did for a class last quarter. We had to make a collage depicting the target consumer of an assigned store. Mine was a surf/skate/snow store for the fashion forward.

Fall 2007 was about tailored and structured pieces. Girls chopped their locks (my self included) to emulate the refined, British bob of Victoria Beckham and flowy florals were swapped with tweeds and wool (maybe that was just me?). But it's summer time baby. I am changing my fashion focus to a more hippie, Native American princess meets biker chick toughness. If instead of beating concert goers into a bloody pulp, a Hell's Angel fooled around with a hippie chick at Altamont and they had a baby, she would look like this. A recent editorial in French Vogue featuring the impeccable Ms. Moss, as well as Erin Wasson's shoot with Dan Martensen depict the vibe of the look perfectly.
