BRAND WATCH: DL1961

It’s not a secret. DL1961 is on the mission to create the perfect fitting jeans.
With this mission as a guide, the premium denim line put forth an impressive FW13 lineup, debuting for the press at the most recent NYFW.


The new indigo washes are inspired by none other than the brand’s home - New York City, with several of the washes being named after NYC streets. Another differentiator for the collection is the use of muted color, which draws inspiration and aesthetics from military garb.
The colors shown are Brigade (red), Cadet (grey), Helmet (navy), and Army (green). While the colors are more muted, they lend themselves to a more sophisticated Fall wardrobe. All shown in Russell, the brand’s Classic Straight fit.


For the indigo washes, styles shown hanging are the Clarkson, Tribute, Bronco, and Eldridge. The key component to these DL1961 denim styles is the look of raw denim, but the comfort of your favorite jeans. Similarly, the brand offers its take on the coated jean in the Essex wash. This innovation has the look of a coated jean but is still soft to the touch and wearable as it contains their XFit stretch.

THE MARKET: Michael Bastian for Uniqlo

In epic collaboration news, there’s Michael Bastian for Uniqlo.
The CFDA winner tackled one wardrobe item for the quickly growing global retailer: polos. Bastian put forth nearly 50 new designs, each intended to have a slightly slimmer fit than your average polo.
“My obsession is trying to make them a little sexier, a little less nerdy. “I’m always asking, ‘How do you give a guy a new reason to buy a polo?,” Bastian states.

THE MARKET: Opening Ceremony’s New Tokyo Location



The innovators at Opening Ceremony have relocated the retailer’s flagship to Tokyo’s chic Cat Street in the Omotesando district. The new digs span 13,000 square feet and cover four levels, hosting familiar resident brands like Acne, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, and a variety of other directional labels.
Led by Huberto Leon and Carol Lim, the retail concept is designed to have an open, lofty feel, with large glass windows and several quirky animal installations that are indicative of the Opening Ceremony brand itself.
The store will open to the public tomorrow, but not before tonight’s inaugural party hosted by Chloe Sevigny. Read more about the store’s new Tokyo location on WWD.
