highwaisted jeans! i'm so stoked! these have been kind of bumping the edges of mainstream fashion for a while, and i'm not sure if they'll ever totally hit (and if they do, it's going to take AT LEAST a few years to pry the last vestiges of the low-rise flares from both the west coast and the teendeathgrip). it's funny though, right now i feel like fashion is working at these two totally different extremes - slick ankle booties are coexisting with slouchy, above-the-knee boots, and the grey color that is EVERYWHERE right now is offset with 80s skate punk fluorescents. and the same with jeans. i don't think skinny jeans are going anywhere for a while, and those look best in very basic black, white, grey, or in darker washes. so it's rad to see kate moss show up at fashion week wearing highwaisted, STONEWASHED vintage bellbottoms. literally every option is available right now. vintage stores are exxxxcellent resources for highwaisted, 70s-inspired (well, actual 70s) denim, and for skinny jeans i like cheap monday, and i wear silence & noise. i've also heard from three different people that they love their new levi's - especially the skinny slouch cut.
on a side note, i got bazaar yesterday and alex + chloe is featured.
