To many I am a fashion guru... the one my friends and family go to whenever they need help in the wardrobe department. Since denim is such a huge part of fashion these days, I thought a guide to finding the best brands would be a fantastic idea! Because I live in Los Angeles I have all of primo boutiques, showrooms, and stores at my finger tips to see, feel, try on, and buy the best brands of denim. I've selected all my favorites for different fits, styles, and colors... ENJOY!
My friends in the denim world also wanted to lend a helping hand to all you jeans seekers with some discounts just for my readers! Check them out and find some jeans to fall in love with just like I have!

These jeans kick ass. I get a lot of double takes when I wear these. Everyone wants to know where I get them and for some reason wants to touch them...ha ha. Rockstar has the same flavor as the wonderful Balmain jean, but at 1/3 of the cost. Oh...these make me want to start a band! I got mine (the Brown Biker Skinny's) from the designer himself, Frank Mechaly! You can get your own from Jeans.com.
Probably the roudiest bunch of people in the denim industry, Chip & Pepper are all about California style. Their jeans have a vintage feel and are all about comfort. I love the Niki Martin! It fits like a glove. I went to visit Chip & Pepper at their office in Venice and saw their new collections! They were so rad. They are also launching the line Mill Iron, which is super cool...I got one of their t-shirts which is my favorite now! Check out the line on CHIPANDPEPPER.COM
I first came across Superfine when I saw the ever fashionable Ashley Olsen talking about them. This brand has really rad style and marketing. They are very Euro-chic and look fabulous on! You can get them from Shopbob or also in Europe! Check out their page: SUPERFINE
Dylan George jeans are all about the best fit, best fabric, and best wash. They are meticulous when it comes to their jeans and work hard to make sure that it shows. The designer, Danny Guez (formerly of William Rast) has been doing denim for ages and can crank out an amazing collection of jeans. These are my favorite for that basic "matches everything" "always looks good" jean. Try the Amber Low Rise Boot Cut in Palmero. Try it on in Bloomingdales or Nordstrom and buy it from DYLAN GEORGE.
Stitch's jeans are ones that you buy, love, buy more, wear more, love more, and love to buy more. The fit is perfect and the fabrics are super soft. Get the ones with the flap pockets if you need a little boost in the booty, try the Chekore Sexy Bootcut. These cost a pretty penny...but you will definitely look pretty in them! Check out the STITCH'S SHOP. Try them on at Kitson.
If you are looking for super soft denim that feels like you aren't wearing anything, try Black Orchid. The collection is really solid and the designer is so nice. I'd say my favorite are the Milky Way or the Skinny Leg in Venus (the black distressing is really unique.)
Current Elliot has made a wonderful presence in the denim world. The bohemian style and relaxed fits are great for every girl wanting to look pretty. These jeans go great with tea parties, canvas paintings, and Bob Dylan albums. Check out their site and try some on at Bloomingdales.
I love the pocket detailing that Monarchy does. Their washes are very nice and all of the distressing looks natural. Their full collection is really good; the London look really comes across, but subtly. This brand has been around a while and is really making a name for themselves in the fashion world. Check out the Babbette Skinny Zip Pocket at Jeans.com!
Red Engine is a great brand if you want a consistant fit and want your
favorite jean to be available whenever you need it. They keep their
collection very tight and edit carefully. The Scarlet is their best fit
or the Cinder Skinny.
Many people have been wearing jeans designed by Jerome
Dahan without ever knowing it. Jerome began his denim career as one of the
founding designers of Lucky Brand jeans. After working alongside his mentor,
Adriano Goldschmied, for many years, Dahan left to create 7 for all Mankind.
Now with his latest creation, Jerome is again redefining the world of denim.
His creativity with denim fabric knows no bound. My favorite are the Sunset Shorts and the Faye Wideleg in Willow Creek.
