How It’s Made: AG Jeans
From this...
...to THIS takes a lot of skillful people.
Fact: The perfect pair of jeans can make a woman feel confident, sexy and, somehow, more like herself than any other article of clothing. Once you slip on a pair that feels like it was made for you, you’re hooked. And second-rate jeans won’t cut it.
For premium denim brand AG Adriano Goldschmied, fit is the secret to a pair of jeans every woman will love. And the secret to the brand’s consistent fit lies in its sprawling factory outside Los Angeles. There, AG manufactures every pair of its jeans with a unique attention to detail. In fact, 78 pairs of hands touch every pair of AG jeans during the production process.
Here’s an exclusive look behind the scenes at the AG manufacturing process that keeps your backside looking so good. One of the only vertically integrated manufacturers that still exist for denim, AG does everything from start to finish in one place. The brand does not outsource any part of the process. That means AG has much more control over the end product. No steps are missed and anything that needs to be fixed can be reacted to very quickly.

In Detail: Koral Los Angeles
After selling 7 for All Mankind five years ago, co-founder Peter Koral along with his eldest son, 29-year-old David Koral, and fellow 7 for All Mankind alumnus Rick Crane have dipped back into denim. In late July the trio launched Koral, a new Los Angeles-made denim label that prides itself in simplicity and craftsmanship.
Unfussy pockets and a discreet logo captures the essence of the brand and the product.
Koral’s finishing techniques enhance the natural nuances of denim, with handcrafted details that are meticulously applied to reveal dimension, texture and character.
With the distinct knowledge of how denim ages naturally, the brand’s signature Lived In Length collections are featured in a range of progressively altered washes from 0-Month to 48-Month.

And since then it has grown tremendously, these past 3 months alone I’ve been traveling for projects and fashion weeks. (Lollapalooza with Teen Vogue, 2 design collaborations, Miami Swim Week, New Zealand Fashion Week…) I believe I am a ‘Blogger on the Cusp’ because the years of growing a relationship with my readers and sharing these opportunities, these adventures and my inspiration on my blog have brought me to a very exciting moment. I feel extremely humbled and grateful to be at a point where looking back, I can see tremendous growth in comparison to where I started.”

On Set: The Christmas Book at Bonneville Salt Flats
The Christmas Book 2012
Our creative team returned to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats for this year’s Christmas Book because the play of light makes it look like a vast snowscape. It is very remote, however, and this video shows how much effort it took to create the right conditions in a very unique and challenging location. It was absolutely gorgeous, unlike anything I’d ever seen before. From a styling perspective, the salt presented a bit of a challenge. The salt would get on everything and cake onto the bottoms of all the shoes, and if left on there long, would eat up the fabric and ruin them. We had to make sure all the merch went through a thorough cleaning before being packed back up! The salt even corroded our car battery from sitting out there all day, and we had to get a jump before heading back into town. But we had a really hard-working and fun crew, which I think resulted in a beautiful story for the 2012 Christmas Book.

You’ve waited very patiently for this, and for that alone you belong on Santa’s “nice” list. NM and Target announced an epic co-collaboration with 24 CFDA designers way back in July. We now present the collection, which will be available December 1. As promised, it’s chockablock with giftable items for women, men, children, pets and home. What’s on your list?
Today in New York the retailers unveiled the products to the press, appeared on “Good Morning America” and announced a major integration into the ABC series “Revenge.” Target and Neiman Marcus will be the sole sponsors of the show’s November 11 finale, and in lieu of commercials, the Revenge team is creating original content incorporating the #Holiday24 collection. It will be stylish, scandalous, and it will destroy you.

NM @ Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
The third annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic returned to Will Rogers Polo Club in Pacific Palisades on Saturday. The event—co-hosted by renowned Argentinian polo player and face of Ralph Lauren‘s Polo fragrances Nacho Figueras, alongside designer/stylist Rachel Zoe and president of Veuve Clicquot U.S., Vanessa Kay—drew a crowd including celebrities and polo enthusiasts from around the world. The event was inspired by the famous 1922 match in Delhi, India where Patiala faced Jodhpur. Guests were welcomed to the match with coupes of vintage rosé, which continued to flow throughout the day. Later that afternoon, actress Ali Larter kicked the match off by throwing out the first toss. It ended with Nacho Figuera’s team Black Watch defeating team Nespresso with a score of 10 to 9.

Fall’s go-to topper, The Jacket, has covered the runways this month. For Spring, designers are delivering moto, baseball and bomber jackets in traditional leather cuts, and also sporty and grungy variations. The rugged styles balance out the season’s floaty sheer fabrics and in many cases are used as a component of the season’s completely leather looks.

Inspired: Skaist Taylor’s Spring Playlist
Skaist Taylor Spring 2013.
Entering Skaist Taylor’s Spring 2013 presentation, atop The McKittrick Hotel in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, felt like stepping into an early 1970′s musical jam session (the kind you read about in Patti Smith’s book, Just Kids.) The loft-like industrial elevator opened and James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” vibrated the dark hallway, while the scent of incense led the way into an intimate outdoor space. Celebrities, editors and buyers were nestled around rustic tables and benches, models emerged from a variety of vantage points with teased tresses, cotton crochet dresses and tea-stained eyelet skirts. Like the souls that found themselves at The Troubadour in its early ’70s heyday, co-founders Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor riff off the vibes of friends, icons and each other to create an eclectic, autobiographical mix. Bold bursts of poppy and lemon dance through the collection in a dip-dyed silk motif, while laser-cut metallic leather pieces are grounded by lightweight knits. The Skaist Taylor train is movin’ and groovin’ this Spring. Here’s the soundtrack…
Skaist Taylor Spring 2013.
