Monday, December 28th, 2009

If you haven’t heard the latest, you don’t want to miss this one! We’ve teamed up with Henry Duarte, California rock ‘n roll denim connoisseur to co-design 3 denim styles inspired by rocker biker chic: Raygun, Ziggy and Suffragette.

Duarte made a name for himself by creating one-of-a-kind denim and leather creations for musicians and high-profile celebrities. Now known for his low-rise, sexy styles with intricate stitching handcrafted hardware and the iconic lace-up jean.

J Brand Duarte capsule collection is the Ziggy Stardust to our classic denim. Each and every pair has the signature J Brand fit with custom-designed hardware making them individually unique. These are for designer aficionados whose own alter ego has a sexy edge.

The latest staple item you must have in your closet is a pair of our new Denim Leggings. Taking you from day into night, we have created three unique designs to fit your mood, style and occasion, offering the ultimate in versatility.

We love wearing the 901 Legging with an oversized sweater. It takes us back to those iconic models of the 80’s like Christy Turlington. The 902 Legging Short is one of the latest runway trends to add to your daily attire. And there is always something feminine and a little sexy about a Capri Legging – the 903 is just the thing for showing off your new shoes.

Oh, and there’s one more thing … THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE!!!!

Hilary Swank rocks the 910 skinny

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Hilary Swank

On and off the red carpet, we are continuing to see Hollywood’s top actresses wear J Brand skinny styles like the 910 Low-Rise Skinny Leg. Often donning formal gowns at premieres, Hilary Swank recently kept it casual yet fashionable by styling her skinny jeans with a military-inspired peacoat while promoting her new film Amelia in New York. As seen on Hilary, the tight fit of the 910 looks fab with flats and is an exceptional pick to tuck into any boot, especially this season’s must-have thigh-highs.

the 1287 santa cruz …
comfy and casual all the way

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

We love taking inspiration from menswear, creating a style that’s easy going, effortlessly casual and oh-so-comfortable – like the all-new 1287 Santa Cruz!

This wrinkled, roughed up chino sits low on the hips for a perfectly slouchy, relaxed look. Pairing fantastically with a statement piece like a tailored blazer, brilliant pashmina or oversized bag, the Santa Cruz is sure to become your next favorite basic.

Take it from our in-house expert stylist, Susie Crippen, J Brand Co-Founder and Creative Director:  “A great way to style the Santa Cruz slouchy chino is with updated classics to give it a sexy twist.”

celebrities love the 901 legging

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

The ultra-lightweight 901 Legging is one of the best selling products we’ve ever produced and celebrities know a good thing when they see it! Rock star and fashion designer, Gwen Stefani clearly has it all … including more than one pair of this uber-stretch pant.

Sisters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson also own a pair of 901s and have been spotted rocking their denims from New York to Beverly Hills. This is by far the most comfortable denim legging you’ll ever slip on, but don’t just take it from us – try them. We guarantee you won’t want to take them off … ever.

the 912 ombre … J BRAND’s latest twist on tie-dye

Monday, December 21st, 2009

If you’re looking for a style that’s as unique as your personality, the 912 Ombre is ideal for you. Take the form-fitting, classic look of our 912 Low-Rise Pencil Leg, enhance it with a dark to light fade down the leg, and you’ve got an updated look that stands out in a crowd.

Paying careful attention to this wash in production, we were able to ensure the fade will hit you in the most flattering way. Actresses Rachel Bilson, Sienna Miller and British pop star/X Factor judge Cheryl Cole have all been spotted in this new wash.  We suggest pairing with a monochromatic look.
