Current/Elliott

This LA design duo once styled together and realized they couldn't find exactly what they wanted in the available denim lines...hmm, sounds familiar. They use vintage styles as inspiration and tailor them to have a more modern fit. I love the country-bumpkin meets trailer-trash aesthetic of this collection and am impressed by their refusal to stay in the "denim box" of what's trendy and popular. Yes, I do love my skin-tight, hipster jeans too. But hand me a slouchy, dirty, worn-in pair that my mother would shake her head at, and I'm a happy girl.
