HIGH WAIST - Make a cool look!

High waist jeans!

The low (and we mean low) waist trend that's been lingering for the past few seasons seems to be on its way out. In its place is a return to comfort, as high waisted jeans muscle their way back into the spotlight. Complete with designer touches and detailing, they also come with a new special added feature - "butt-lifting". It's time to celebrate that booty, and let your jeans show it off (we can thank Jennifer Lopez for this). Darker, indigo blues are the shades for the season, and stretch is also making a long-awaited comeback. Jeans that are stylish and comfortable--what a novel idea!

3D PAPER DENIM - How to draw your perfect denim on paper!

Everything was spontaneous, i never had an intention to really sit down on the chair and plan out a denim drawing session at the end of my day in the studio :-D

wELL but i was killing time for a change right, So i just drew some denim styles on a clean sheet of paper which i just grabbed out of the dead lying printer. and Of course i drew it pretty fast and 'there i was with three "not so cool" styles, thought i would just add some color on it - REST was HISTORY frens  !

After applying blue INDIGO all over , am smudging so the color is absorbed through the paper to give more depth.

rub more, and yeah, just highlight wherever you want the FADED GLORY ha ha ...

both ready, Grab the SCISSORS and get your denims out.

left one is more of a neutral STONE WASH faded style, whereas the right one is given a more used and BRUIsed , Stained look.

Alright , NOw to give the real denim feel, hold both the styles and crush to PERFECTION!

Does'nt it looks like two real denims folded together ( depends ;-)  )

 well there are two freshly washed and treated DENIMS.

 STONE WASH ( NATURAL FADE )

BROKEN DOWN , AGED "BRUISED" WASH

RECYCLE DENIM

Just browsed across this cool 'RECYCLED DENIM' shoe.
Some thought for Denim Lovers.

W.A.S.H Experimente'

Visited a denim laundry on the outskirts last week, it was quite far from in a village like place, and they had no idea about denim washes.

To THE LAUNDRY  ; ;;

Facilities inside.

All they knew was how to bleach and enzyme washes. Did a small workshop with these people and guided them to do few of the simpler washes and few tricks "vintage" "broken" "torn" "whiskers" , result wasn't bad though.

Me showing some handwork skill , DENIM
GYAN !

Pretty impressive for first timers - - - - -

Sample shots of the washes developed --

    vintage "bruised look" little damage and light sand blast.

 

Light enzyme + pumice stone was "slight wrinkle"

 

Tinting "grey" + permanent crease, spot sand blast

Vintage "old skool" wash ( wrinkle + stone wash)

Premium "aged vintage" ( laser whiskers + sand blast effect)
