eModa’s Michelle Miller Grills “The Boss”…Rick Ross!

Monday, 16 March, 2009


Our own Michelle Miller (eModa’s resident stylish and PR/Marketing whiz) sat down with Miami rap (and, allegedly, drug) kingpin Rick Ross for an interview! Michelle (a/k/a/ Misha) is working diligently on said interview, which will be made available for your viewing pleasure on our sister blog. M&M. (The “M’s” stand for Misha and Marina (Kogan), eModa.com’s buyer women’s buyer.)

Floridian MC Rick Ross (real name William Roberts II) burst onto the scene in the summer of 2006 with his battering-ram of a debut, Port of Miami. Powered by the monster single “Hustlin’” (the remix of which featured a four-star guest verse from Jay-Z) and “Push It” (which sampled the theme song from the consummate gangster film, Scarface ), Ross quickly rose to the top of the charts. His gritty brand of drug-fueled hip-hop stands out from the rest with its somewhat relaxed delivery and Ross’ frequent exhibition of playfulness…he sounds like a boss who’s already made it and can afford to take it easy. Misha’s interview with the rapper will detail a different side of his personality: fashion! Ross is definitely a big guy, standing at 6 feet and roughly 300 pounds…Misha’s interview will detail his take on dressing for success when so many high-end designers limit their lines to smaller sizes. Check back for updates…we’ll let you know when the full interview is available!

Three Ways to Wear the Latest Women’s Designer Jeans

Tuesday, 24 February, 2009

Those wanting to stay on top of women’s designer jeans and dress like the rich and famous need to keep their eyes and ears open constantly. In many cases, the various labels and styles go in and out of fashion so quickly it can be hard to catch them while they’re hot. The best way to get the most from the best designers is to get them while they are rising. This means staying up on the latest news and insider gossip. So, where do you find this information?

Retailers Who ‘Know’ Women’s Designer Jeans And Their Creators

Find trendy retailers who can provide you with the latest fashions. Since they are directly involved in the industry, they can provide you with the news and tidbits that you likely won’t hear anywhere else. Their websites are rich in news, gossip, images, and tons of ideas as to how you can put the hottest looks all together.

They can tell you who is wearing which designer — you then know who to watch for hints and tips on how to put these looks together yourself. Retailers also attend several fashion shows and track these brands right to the source, so you can get the inside scoop on new items before they even hit the shelves. As an added bonus, you can also get the latest celebrity gossip. Finally, you get the opportunity to discuss the latest designs to find out what not to wear, and which looks suit you the best.

The Hottest Celebrities And Stars

Celebrities can make or break a women’s designer jeans label. If you have a group of ladies such as Beyonce, Paris Hilton, and Angelina Jolie say they absolutely love a particular brand of denim; chances are pretty high that those items will become extremely popular in a short amount of time.

The rich and famous generally wear what their stylists suggest for them. Use this to your advantage by selecting a few that have a similar body shape to yours as well as a style you enjoy. This way, you can use what they have worn recently as well as what they wear in the future to help develop a style of your own.

The Internet, Movies, Magazines and Television

No one watches famous people, designers, and women’s designer jeans closer than the media. After all, that’s how a large number of them make their money. If you want to know anything about style, these mediums can provide you with a well-rounded idea of what happens within minutes in some instances. You get news, tidbits, and images as well as links and leads to other sources that can teach you how to piece together some of the hottest looks of the day.

Learning about the latest women’s designer jeans and how to use them to create trendy looks isn’t as difficult as many think. Retailers, the media, and even the celebrities themselves make great teachers. Find looks that you can customize to suit you and become a trend-setting star yourself.

How To Dress Up Men’s Designer Jeans For Comfortable Yet Cool Evening Apparel

Monday, 23 February, 2009

Men’s designer jeans may be popular as daytime clothing, but that doesn’t mean they can’t turn into sexy evening apparel. Since they are so comfortable and trendy — there’s no reason not to. With a little creativity, you can dress them up quickly and easily. You’ll be looking suave in no time at all.

Start With The Right Pair Of Men’s Designer Jeans

 First, try to avoid styles with rips, tears, or frayed edges — they always seem to hold their informal appearance. When it comes to the debate between baggy or tight fitting denim, the choice is yours. Wear whatever style makes you feel comfortable and look good. Color is also a matter of personal choice. However, many feel that white, cream, and dark colors appear more formal than those shades in between.

Find The Right Shirt

If you were to match a pair of True Religion men’s designer jeans with a washed, fitted t-shirt, it isn’t going to look very suitable for evening. Therefore, what you choose to wear with your favorite denim styles has a significant impact on your overall look. Pick out a button-up, formal shirt and match it with a pair of darker denim jeans. If you want to wear a t-shirt, wear a fitted tee with a solid color and pair with button-up shirts over top.

Accessories To Match

Accessories can take an outfit from ho-hum to eye-catching ‘wow’ instantly. Start with a great belt and a stunning buckle. Look for something with a little detail and pizzazz to spark up plainer men’s designer jeans. For outfits that already have a lot of sparkle, go for something refined. Depending on your look, you might also want to consider adding a hat carry the look through. Scarves for men have also been making a huge mark on the fashion world.

Don Some Jewelry

Balance simple, clean looks with some jewelry. Refine your look with a pendant necklace, link bracelet, and silver rings. If you really aren’t ‘into’ wearing jewelry, try a plain item. For example, don’t underestimate the impact of a great looking watch. Just be sure not to overdo the accessories! As a general rule, put on enough pieces, remove one piece, and you will have just the right amount.

Finish Off The Look With Shoes

You don’t need to wear dress shoes, but you don’t want to wear your old tennis shoes either. Dark suede sneakers are not only super trendy, but they look fantastic with the right denim for a sexy evening look. Diesel and True religion also have some great looking sneakers that fit in well with your new look. Strapped sneakers have also made a comeback in recent months.

Start by picking out your favorite denim threads and begin building your look from there. Remember that your finished look depends on what you choose to pair with it, and the combination of accessories you decide to wear. Finally, keep in mind that confidence is the true definition of ‘sexy’!

Men’s Designer Jeans 101 – Learning The Lingo And Finding the Right Fit

Wednesday, 18 February, 2009

When you purchase men’s designer jeans, you want to look great. A large part comes from understanding the words used to describe the various traits of designer duds and knowing how to test them for fit. When you know what is available and what to look for, finding the perfect pair of jeans is far easier than you would think.

 

The Shapes Of The Legs

 

Men’s designer jeans will have pant legs cut in one of four main styles. Wide leg has been a popular cut for several years. These have added width starting at the beginning of the thigh and keep that wider shape right down to the bottom hem. They often have a slight flare as they go down.

 

Straight Leg DenimWide Leg is very similar to two other leg styles — boot cut and straight leg. Straight leg generally has the same width from the crotch seam right down to the bottom seam. Some brands might also taper inwards on the last quarter of the leg length. Boot cut flares out more dramatically than a wide leg or flare jean. These have considerably wider angles than any other style and are noted by their wide bottom hem.

 

One style that is becoming increasingly popular at the moment is skinny or slim-cut men’s designer jeans. This style is the male equivalent of women’s slim-fits. They fit your shape from top to bottom and show off your best features. Some of these may also be stretch denim for added comfort.

 

The Fit Of Jeans

 

The legs aren’t the only things that vary in shape and size in men’s designer jeans. The ‘fit’ of denim refers to the room in the butt and upper thigh areas of the cut. The roomiest cut available is loose-fit, which has an inch or more of excess material in the seat and upper thigh area. Relaxed fit gives you just a little extra space (about a half inch). The narrowest style is a traditional or regular fit. These give you a standard or a slightly smaller fit than the other styles.Skinny Leg Denim

 

How To Tell If A Pair Of Men’s Designer Jeans Fit You

 

You can have the trendiest and most expensive set of denim threads on the market, but if they show sagging in the wrong spots or look like they are bursting at the seams, they are going to look terrible. Pants that are too snug will show. Your backside is one of the first spots to check. When purchasing pants, use the mirrors provided by the store to check out your own backside.

 

If you notice any visible strain or a classic wedge look, go for a bigger size. From there, you want to check out the rest of your bottom half to see how they fit. Make sure there is no pulling or folds in the waist or crotch area as well as down your legs.

 

The most important thing about men’s designer jeans is that they are comfortable. While you are walking, sitting, standing, and bending over in your potential new threads, pay attention to how the material moves. If you notice rubbing, bunching or digging in, they are likely too loose. The last thing to check is the material itself and how comfortable they are. If you find them to be stiff, scratchy, or do not have the features you need…keep looking.

The Unusual Back-Stories Behind Leading Brands of Men’s Designer Jeans…

Tuesday, 3 February, 2009

The world of men’s designer jeans is lead by several prominent designers. Some of these brands were born out of a passion for clothing while others started with a passion for a lifestyle that needed the ideal brand to match. Regardless of how these designers have started, they have ruled this area of fashion from the start, and when you see and feel their creations, it is no surprise.
 William Rast
William Rast

The brilliant line of William Rast is created by a duo from the top of the music industry. Trace Ayala and Justin Timberlake had a passion for modern Hollywood and historic Southern culture. Not finding a style that met this need, the pair decided to create their own brand, and did they ever.

Every item produced by their company combines comfort with a trendy and energetic style that quickly and easily goes from day to night. It is made for fashionable men with lifestyles that move quickly. The brand is carried in some of the world’s most important boutiques in the world and has held prestigious honors such as features in fashion shows and magazines held to the highest regards.

What started out as a collaboration that produced some of the finest men’s designer jeans in the world has led to a full fashion line. This includes tops, vests, and pea coats that create a completely new line in fashion that makes rock and roll sexy, comfortable, and stylish.

 

Laguna Beach Jean Co.

Laguna Beach Jean Co.


If you like the beach style of California, you will already recognize the ‘Orange County’ style of Laguna Beach men’s designer jeans. The Laguna Beach style originated by hand making every pair unique to its owner. They combine the region’s modern art with that of comfortable design to create pieces unmatched by any other brand in the industry. To complete their look, the company created a special technique to create washes that enhance rather than hide the finer points of the material. Their products have become a lifestyle rather than an image alone.

Evisu

The brainchild of Hidehiko Yamane, this entire line is created to fill the ultra-fine quality niche. He started with the idea of creating men’s designer jeans that were of the finest materials in 1988. He originally called his truly custom pieces ‘Evis’ and was made of American culture by hand in Osaka. To emphasize the personal touch in each pair, he would hand paint his famous seagull logo onto every pair.

EvisuBecause of the methods he used, the demand for his products became far higher than his 12 pair per day quota could satisfy. The arrival of vintage clothing in the early 90′s further grew the need for his designs. He moved his company to Italy where it would soon fill more than 400 premier clothing boutiques. Today, Yamane has added three additional lines, which include Kizzu, Evisu European Edition, and Evisu Shoos.

These three lines have defined men’s designer jeans proving that men can be as fashionable and sexy as women. The care and quality in these denim threads bring comfort and style together in a variety of ways to suit any taste.

 

Women’s Designer Jeans — What’s Behind Those Threads?

Wednesday, 28 January, 2009

Any fan of women’s design jeans can instantly recognize the threads, the cuts, and the style, but very few know the real stories behind those designs. Each designer has his or her own story that tells how a simple passion turned into one of the largest labels in the industry. Here are a few stories you should know about.

True Religion Jeans
True Religion Brand Women’s Designer Jeans

This Los Angeles premium design company began its journey in 2002. What really got this brand started was its unique denim and the unseen attention given to the smallest details. Their vintage washes have a touch of class unmatched by any other designer in the business. The True Religion style is evident in every inch from the stunning embroidery that is flawlessly applied, and forward seams that have been expertly sewn.

These designs flow evenly from top to bottom in the finest style. True Religion may be best known for its denim, they have a full line of clothing that match the perfection of their jeans. This line includes hoodies, jackets, skirts, blazers, t-shirts, and much more to help you find that perfect style.

 Miss Sixty

Miss Sixty Women’s Designer Jeans

Miss Sixty has taken the elegant end of women’s designer jeans to all new heights. They started their brand in 1991, and since have explored the irony, feminine, and wild ends of women’s fashion all with a sophistication and glamour that makes every girl feel sexy with the first touch of the fabric. Like True Religion, this brand focuses on its denim line, and the passion shows. Nicole Ritchie, Hilary Swank, Demi Moore, and many others swear by their denim. These jeans have the unique ability to make any girl look hot.


7 For All Mankind Women’s Designer Jeans

Los Angeles saw the birth of ’7 For All Mankind’ back in 2000. They quickly rose above the massive competition, and have dominated ever since. Their women’s designer jeans are known for cuts that mix classic style with modern style in a perfect mix. Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz are just two leading ladies that swear by their designs.

Their unique cuts in combination with their designs and washes give ‘Sevens’ their popularity. They walk somewhere between revolutionary and feminine to produce the perfect-fitting pair of jeans for all women. Two years after starting their brand, they fed the hunger for their unique designs by expanding their original line. Today, they provide with women and children with some of the finest handbags, sportswear, and footwear on the market.

These are just three of the companies leading the way in women’s designer jeans. While True Religion leads the way with trendy creations, Miss Sixty rules the world of the feminine cuts. 7 For All Mankind has managed to take the road between the two. Together, these three brands can provide a woman with the perfect fit in a style of her choice. Visit eModa.com to check out all three of these brands and much more. �

Make the Cut Your Own!

Tuesday, 27 January, 2009

Most people who frequently wear and shop for denim understand that jeans come in different cuts, most notably the straight and boot cuts. Straight-leg denim measures the same at both the knee break and the leg opening, making for a consistent cut that is especially flattering to those shorter in stature. Meanwhile, boot cut denim has a wider leg opening, giving them a flared-out look. This style originates back to the early 1800s, having been worn by everyone from naval cadets to hippies. This cut works best for taller people or those with ample thighs and hips.

However, there are other, less-popular styles of denim…styles with panache of their own that you may be missing out on! While straight- and boot-cut jeans are versatile and classic, they’re not the be-all and end-all of denim. Just like you wouldn’t limit yourself to wearing only one or two brands, why limit yourself to only a couple of styles?
