Tasters of Fall 2013 (la deuxième partie)

Wrangler’s Denim Spa is continuing from its spring launch with new wintery shades and added styles (including my fave; Jess, the high waist skinny). Those of you not familiar with the concept, it basically is a spa treatment for your legs as you wear your jeans! Denim is infused with moisturizers like olive extract, aloe vera and sea kelp to help smooth your legs.

Wrangler Fall/Winter 12 Launch (Farkkuja & Vaahterasiirappia)

On Tuesday I visited Miltton Showroom to view the new collection of Wrangler – the original American outdoor denim brand. Company’s history dates back all the way to the early 20^th century, to 1904 to be exact. Today design details and icons from Wrangler's heritage meet modern innovations.

So the morning started by eating some pancakes&trying on jeans. There were great cropped cigarette pants and flared bootcut styles...but my favourites were high-waisted & skinny, 50’s inspired Jess jeans. They have a way of making your waist look smaller and I've been wearing mine every day since Tuesday. X

Diesel & Heikki Salonen – the beginning of a new era

Yesterday I was excited to see the first full collection that the newly appointed Head of Design Heikki Salonen with his team has designed for Diesel’s spring/summer 2012 season! At the same time the whole Diesel womenswear brand has been relaunched and is getting a slightly more grown-up and softer aesthetic.

The denim line has been reduced to six styles (available in several washes) and completely redesigned. They include a high waisted & 50’s inspired Highkee (which apparently is how the Italians pronounce the Finn Heikki’s name), Myguy boyfriend style and skinnies that have a higher back so you can actually bend down comfortably.

Traces of the former Fashion East and NEWGEN designer Salonen’s style can definitely be seen in the menswear influenced shirts, prints, shorts, sheer fabrics and in a certain long dress with leather detailing. Meanwhile there was so much more: shoes, great rucksacks and so on but having only gotten two hours of sleep the night before, I was going around like some mad lady and couldn’t get my head around for the half of it...
