5 New Denim Lines to Know About for Fall 2010

Jeans EXTILE Elizabeth and James Resin

TEXTILE Elizabeth and James | Resin

Doesn't it seem like the fashion industry is consistently flooded with new denim lines? Finding the good ones can be a challenge -- especially if you decide to splash out and treat yourself to a pair of $100-and-up premium jeans. Here are the new lines to know about this season and what makes them special. (And if you are in the market for something a little less expensive, be sure to see this list of the best jeans under $40.)

TEXTILE Elizabeth and James
The Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen-designed denim label launched in the spring with just three jeans styles. The 1960s and 1970s-inspired fall collection is more serious business, promising a full denim collection with eight fits in multiple washes, cords, and tops including distressed sweats and T-shirts, chunky sweaters and flannels. Hitting the racks in mid-September at stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Shopbop.com and Intermix, a piece or two will set you back a bit, ranging from $155 to $255 for jeans. The jeans are hand finished and produced in Los Angeles, made with super high-end Japanese denim fabric. Look for a men's collection, too.

Resin
Resin, a chemical that has been used in creating denim washes for the last 10 years, is what revolutionized the industry and allowed designers to experiment with new washes. That's why Paper, Denim & Cloth's Chris Gilbert and denim designer Chantel Valentene set out to launch a new jeans line, called Resin last spring. For fall, the company has expanded its mix to include deeper, darker washes in new colors like green and burgundy. "We try to push classic washes without sacrificing comfort," Valentene told StyleList. Resin can be found at Barneys New York and Fred Segal stores. They retail from $128 to $200 a pair.

O*T*R
Anlo owners Jenna and David Lonstein just launched O*T*R (standing for Off The Record) for fall. The collection, Jenna tells StyleList, offers "more fashion and edgier styles and washes" than its sister label. O*T*R also sells for a lower price point, ranging from $99 to $136. "Anlo has a loyal customer base and we did not want to alter what has been working," Jenna said. "Therefore, we thought the best solution was to create a new line from scratch." Check out O*T*R at Shopbop.com and RevolveClothing.com.

Rag & Bone/JEAN
Last season David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone found it necessary to break out their highly sought-after basics into its own collection called Rag & Bone/JEAN. The collection of three styles -- a skinny, available in eight washes; a straight-leg in five, and a stiletto boot cut in five washes -- has been so successful that this fall the company has expanded its mix into new categories called Rag & Bone/KNIT and Rag & Bone/SHIRT to go along with the jeans. Rag & Bone opened a much-gabbed about store in downtown Manhattan recently, but you can also find their wares online at Shopbop.com and Nordstrom. They sell $170 to $225 -- expensive, but not as expensive as the brand's main line.

James ICON
James Jeans' founder and creative director Seun Lim can't wait to introduce her newest venture this fall. It's called James ICON, a collection that focuses on denim and everything that goes with it -- knits in rich wool blends, cotton T-shirts, and even leather and fur jackets made with some of the most intricate detailing. "The line is targeted for women who are not only fashion-forward but are the trendsetting leaders conveying style and taste," Lim told StyleList. The James ICON line is hitting stores like Olive & Bette's in New York and Madison in Los Angeles now. It retails from $160 to $220.

Are you a total jean-lover? Then check to see if you're covered with the four styles that every woman should have in her closet.

After a quick glance at this story I see two problems-- the spam posts and the anorexic models being used. I say the healthy way to handle this is to refuse to buy from scammers and spammers, and anyone who uses the "thinner than a pencil" models should be considered even worse than the spammers.

Don't buy from anyone who makes women hate themselves, starve themselves, and tell the stores you shop in why you won't buy.

Let women live healthy.

I agree with colcam. What size do the models wear? How many of us can fit into them and even look good. What is wrong with a woman with a little meat on her? they don't look healthy and cater to girls who wear a size 0

Won't encourage anyone to buy these

There is nothing wrong with being that skinny, I am and I eat perfectly healthy heck i can eat anything i want and to get skinny jeans to fit me I have to buy 0's. Yea some of those models could be anorexic but you don't know that so don't judge a book by its cover. Some people are just that skinny naturally, and yes i agree they should use models in bigger sizes too everyone is beautiful. And another thing, that is alot of money for jeans, they do look nice but I think I'm going to spend my money at Walmart

Raven spoke about naturally very thin versus the problem people-- when the elbow is the widest part of the arm below the armpit, that is not a healthy "thin" but one that is very unhealthy.

What is wrong being size 0? I am size 0. I have 3 kids (twins+girl), I exercise 1-2 times a week....Eat healthy. Nothing of this is hard to do! I don't understand how any woman can *let herself go*...and using "after having kids I got big" as an excuse!

Please tell me what you eat, I really need to know.Because I workout everyday, doing, running k-bell, yoga and weights and I have never been under a size 6[8. So I would like to know your food plan.

Not everyone can be a size 0. Most of these models are starving themselves. If you want to stave, go ahead, be my guest.
Women can look great at a size 10, still be in shape with a great body.
You have to be nuts to spend $200. on jeans. Sorry, no jeans are worth that much. I don't care what designers name is on them. There are tons of great jeans out there under $50.
Have fun starving

I know what you mean elena. I have been fighting for years, I am 52, to keep weight on. At my age they don't make any jeans to fit me unless I go to the juniors dept. And I eat anything and everything, within means to not only keep the weight on but to gain weight and I am tired of people calling me anorexic.

Hey Rita!!

Much agreed, Elena....I was one of the ones that let herself go after having my baby and all it has led to was big clothes and a back surgery. Stress and depression had a lot to do with mine also. Being a size 10 does look great on women...if they are tall. The smallest I will ever be able to get before I look sick is a size 8...a size 10 would be perfect for me because i'm tall. Its more about height/weight ratio than it is a number on a label. I know a lot of thin women who eat 5 times a day. They just eat healthy instead of food loaded with fats and preservatives.

OK but I'm sorry but how can someone say that "skinny isn't popular anymore"? How can you down someone for being healthy and in shape? People are what they are and they can either work at the weight they want or just sit around and gain weight. I'm a size 1 - 3 depending on the jean style and I have a four yr old I love the way I look and I'm tired of being told to eat a hamburger I eat all the time and enjoy all kinds of foods

Elena, I too eat right, I exercise three times a week including both weight bearing and aerobic for a total of 1 hour 45 minutes each time and I have had no children. I am a size 16. I am a slightly smaller version of my mother, sister, and aunts who do not exercise and do not eat right. Please don't believe a woman's size is completely a matter of "Letting herself go." Genetics and age play a part in body size.

Elena, Women shouldn't "let themselves" go?? I'm guessing your in your mid 20's early 30's? Women just don't let themselves go, the way your implying. I let my self go to a size 8, I feel fine, that's what counts, not what anyone else does, not even a husband, so before you let your mouth go, think.

I exercise every day and eat right. I have even had a trainer work with me for a month and quit in disbelief when his efforts and mine yielded no results. If I even think of having some birthday cake or special dinner out occasionally it greatly effects my efforts...I have always been heavy, even as a kid and I am not sure what else I can do to be more visually pleasing. On a good note, my cholesterol level is 130, bp is 112/70 and at 49 I can keep up with my 5 kids playing football/softball and just keeping up with them daily.

I am glad your thin, but not all of us can be through no fault of our own

stop being a snit. there's nothing wrong with being a size 0, perhaps that's naturally you. there's nothing wrong with being a size 8, 12, 14 or 20. if you are healthy and that's naturally you, you shouldn't worry about it. some women who gain weight while pregnant have a problem after having children, their metabolism changes and doesn't change back. myself, my feet grew 2 sizes. the point is that almost all models used look sickly, not healthy. i had a girlfriend who was a size 0, she was healthy, looked great, not like these models. i'm not a 0, looking at the pix i have no idea what i'd look like in any of these jeans. that's a problem. designers can't say they're designing for everyone when the only models they're using are pencil slim. maybe i have the money to buy their clothes, but i pass them by because their ads say to me "you're to fat to fit what i'm selling".

I, too, am very thin, have a small frame, and eat properly, BUT not everyone can say the same. It's easy to think anyone can be a size 0 but it's NOT true, and to think it is means ignoring reality.
Be happy you're so blessed, careful, and smart.
Some women have large frames, and no matter how hard they might try, they will never look thin, and it's ludicrous that companies depict women this way.

I find your remard "get a life little zero" really distasteful. I eat a lot but can never seem to gain weight. That is just how some people naturally are. It may not be true for all people, but there are people out there like me. Others may hate it and say that people who say that are lying, but that simply isn't true. I myself have never been anything but a size 0 or 00. This is also when I don't work out and eat like a pig. I am not saying that its healthy to do so, but thats me.
ps. I also have a friend who is size 9, eats healthier than I do and is no where near being considered fat.
My point is it depends on the person's body type and metabolism.

Talk about out of touch. The country is in a recession with people out of work. We are supposed to "tighten our belts", not spend over our heads! The average person can't (and should not) buy these excessively priced clothes. Hey AOL, How about an article on the "Best Jeans under $40?"
