Lucky me met Lucky Brand’s VP of Merchandising Joshua Weiner in a major Canadian Tuxedo last night at Palihouse. Joshua was representing his brand well in the soon-to-be-launched Riviera Club X Lucky Brand jeans, Lucky Brand shirt and Robert Geller jacket. Loving all the Lucky looks and was super fortunate to have been included in a Lucky Brands shoot for Champagne and Heels earlier this year.
I can’t say I’m terribly shocked to have seen so much double denim amongst the fashion set at Palihouse tonight. Is there any better look? Here is Natalie rocking ampersand brands head to toe: H&M denim shirt, Rag & Bone boots and Rich & Skinny jeans.
My Bravo week continues! Tonight I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Brad Goreski’s assistant, Thomas Phillips, in a Canadian Tuxedo at the Tiny Bandit‘s Sample Sale at the Palihouse in West Hollywood. Thomas was looking super adorbs in a Billy Reid denim shirt, Missoni top and Levi’s jeans. We know how much his Canadian-fashion-God boss loves the double denim, so it was no surprise to see Thomas representing in the most stylish of ways. Brad, if you’re reading this: We love you.
Here is actual Canadian Amy DiCarlo in an Canadian Tuxedo at Melrose Trading Post today. She wasn’t actually planning on rocking the double denim, but damn this cold front during her vacation to Los Angeles! We think she looks great in Paige jeans, TNA flannel shirt and sweater, Johnny Cupcakes T-shirt, vintage denim jacket, Super sunglasses and a DOPE head piece she picked up that day at the flea market.
The flea market may have been a little slow today, but the double denim was all over. We spotted NINE Canadian Tuxedos within five minutes of being there, including this gem comprised of a Ralph Lauren denim jacket with an MG logo and Albam jeans (yes, this guy was a Brit).
It all comes full circle. I started this blog as a celebration of the double denim look, often condemned as a fashion faux pas. The first original image I ever posted was of this baby draped in denim, whom I spotted in the elevator at Target in West Hollywood. Fast forward 10 months, and who do I meet? A couple of guys, both with Levi’s, one of whom is a correspondent for denim blog powerhouse Denimology (!!!), in the very same elevator, rocking Canadian Tuxedos.
On the left is Thomas Rossi, Jr., in Levi’s Made for Craft jeans and Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1955 Sawtooth shirt. To the right is Darrrell Nobrega in a Levi’s Type 1 Trucker jacket and 520 taper jeans.
Thanks, guys! You made my week!
Another hour, another Canadian Tux at Coffee Commissary – a.k.a. Land of Denim. If you think I’m joking, I saw SIX Canadian Tuxedos in less than 2 hours there yesterday. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Rheese Detrow, drummer in the band Dendelo, which just completed a new, yet-to-be-named album of raw/aggressive rock. Rheese is such a sweetheart; trying to imagine aggressive coming from him … I digress.
Anyway, Rheese is seen here in a vintage flannel-lined Levi’s jacket and LA-based Schaeffer’s Garment Hotel 15 oz. Japanese Denim jeans.
So many Aussies in double denim at Palihouse last weekend! Right after meeting Dion, I ran into Avishai Ungar of Picaholic.com fame in Levi’s jeans and a denim Zara top. Avishai and I had actually met several months before at the VirtualSx event at The Roosevelt. As a result, our conversation got pretty interesting very quickly last Saturday.
Aussie Dion Agius was rocking the double denim last night at Palihouse in West Hollywood. The surfer/photog is seen here in a vintage jacket Globe button up and Globe jeans.
Rihanna was seen (again) in double denim, this time leaving lesbian night club The Palms in West Hollywood last week. She’s seen here in a denim jumpsuit designed by her for Armani. Rihanna’s developing into quite the hot mess these days, isn’t she?
That's one dope ass Canadian Tuxedo
