Another conversion…

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

When trying on anything new, we know there is always room for a little apprehension. So when it came time to get our new blogger friend, Nadine Jolie, in a pair of J Brand skinny jeans, we wanted to make sure she was comfortable and simply staying open to the experience. 
 
J Brand’s Entertainment & Lifestyle Marketing Manager, Thuy-Anh Nguyen, met Nadine recently at a panel where she understood her fear of the skinny jean all too well. Having a very similar body type to Nadine, Thuy-Anh invited her to our offices for a custom fitting, which included trying on several skinny jeans and leggings styles. After several pairs, we helped Nadine find that perfect fit…a few times over.
 
Check out Nadine’s own blog to read all about the fitting here.

We were so happy to help Nadine find the right skinny and boot leg styles to compliment her body. All it takes is a quick look at her smile to see she has become a J Brand fan. Welcome to the family Nadine!

Denim for Days

Monday, April 12th, 2010

We hear this time and time again – the 901 Leggings have become the gateway-jean back to denim. The lastest converter: Cupcakes and Cashmere blogger, Emily Schman.

“I’ve never been a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.  It’s not that I’m always dressed up (because I’m certainly not), but I prefer breezy dresses to constricting, stiff denim.  When the legging/jeans hybrid appeared on the scene last year, I was skeptical that they could be comfortable and simultaneously flattering.  Turns out, some of them are.  Revolve sent over these J Brand Low Rise Leggings last week and I’ve barely changed out of them since.  They’re tight in all the right places (at the ankles) and have the right amount of give where you need it most (upper thighs) and I love that I can just easily wear them with dangerously tall heels as I can with ballet flats.”

All Shook Up

Blogger ’The Stylish Wanderer‘ feels special in the J Brand Houlihan cargo skinnys.

“These J Brand beauties are probably the coolest cargo pants in the entire world. It was a real shock a few weeks ago to open up both Teen Vogue and Nylon and see these pants in the J Brand ad. Sometimes when something of yours is in magazine, you feel kinda special…”

J Brand CEO Jeff Rudes personally fits Liberty London Girl

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

“Liberty London Girl” UK blogger Sasha Wilkins loved her personal fitting with J Brand CEO Jeff Rudes at Selfridges in London.

A girl who only wears skirts – she was instantly hooked on J Brand and said:  “Jeff was such fun. I think J Brand may have converted me to the way of the trouser. Have chinos, leggings & classic stretch jean. Will shoot & report back on Liberty London Girl.”

Check out more of what Liberty London Girl had to say about her J Brand experience on her Facebook page.

FashionToast in J Brand at Fashion Week

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

We love following blogger Rumi Neely’s style at FashionToast.com. Check out what she’s wearing at Fall/Winter New York Fashion Week.

J Brand sent me some jeans last week..as one commenter noted, “I don’t own any pants”. This isn’t entirely true, but honestly I just hate shopping for them since I barely every try clothes on in stores. I trust my eye for picking out my size for everything..except jeans. But these are a perfect second skin.
