The Prps Boyfriend Jean in Clouded Paint: An Exclusive Collaboration

Earlier in the year, Prps and Ron Herman worked together to perfect the look
of their now-famous boyfriend jean, a trend we've championed here for awhile that has recently been popularized by select celebs. The first delivery blew out in a matter of days (we didn't even have the chance to blog about it!), but luckily we had this lovely surprise still on its way -- The Boyfriend Jean in Clouded Paint. Based on a men's Prps wash that we've always loved, this sexy, slouchy favorite is only available in this wash at Ron Herman stores (be sure to order 2 sizes down, they run REALLY big). Get it while it lasts, because once it's gone -- it's gone! Though not yet available on-line, you can purchase it today over the phone or in person. Run, don't walk!

THE SALE!

It's that time of year again! Visit our landmark location at 8100 Melrose ave. to experience the madness of the Fred Segal Annual Sale! All items downstairs at the Ron Herman store are 50% off ticket price. Come by and check out great all the great HALF OFF(!!) denim goodies in the T-Shirt department and at The Jean Bar!

The Graffiti Collection by Genetic Denim

An awesome take on two trends (colored denim and leather leggings), Genetic denim and Ron Herman present the Graffiti Collection: skinny jeans in bold colors, availabe in both matte and with a leather applique. The leather applique is amazing; it lends a cool texture and leather-like sheen. Rumour has it that Anna Wintour was quite curious about it and had it sent to her office! These styles aren't available from the main site yet (blog readers are the first to know!), but you can order them today by calling the Melrose store at (323)651-4129.

Available in matte: Tuscan Sun (pink), School Bus Yellow, Gum Drop (purple), Zinc (black), and Silver.

Available in waxy/coated leather applique: Blue Ocean Breeze (Teal), Peekaboo Blue, Black Mirror and Glass (silver).

New Current/Elliott!

New styles from the most sought after jean of the season are finally here! Tomorrow the main site will send off the official announcement, but we wanted to give a special "heads up" to our blog readers! You can get yours now by calling the Ron Herman store directly and asking for the Jean Bar, (323) 651-4129.

First up, the Skinny Slouch in Loved Destroy, splattered with paint and just the right amount of tearing...



And next! The Elephant Bell in Super Loved Destroy, an extra-wide flare with ripped knees...



These are going to go fast, so if we don't have your size (running true if you want it baggy, a size down if you'd prefer fitted), be sure to put your name on the Jean Bar's Current/Elliott waiting list so that you're the first to know when it arrives back in the store.

RH Exclusive: Ksubi For Summer

Whoa! Stop the presses! These 100% pure rock n' roll Ksubi skinny jeans in mint and pink came in today, a little teaser before their Fall line arrives. Extreme rips and destroyed looks have been all over the runway again in next season's collections (and all over the tradeshows in New York), but you don't have to wait... you can get them here first! How can something in candy colors be this tough?! Leave it to Ksubi -- the reigning kings of punk rock denim style -- to deliver. Both destroyed denim colors are a Ron Herman exclusive, so they won't last long! To get yours today, call (323) 651-4129 and ask for the Ksubi Skinny Trashed jean.

New Nudie

The Fall season is upon us -- at least as fashion is concerned! -- and our new goods are pouring in. Last week we received a great shipment from Nudie Jeans, one of the pioneers of denim in Sweden. A favorite of skate and shoe culture afficionados, Nudie's selection (and fanbase!) has expanded dramatically the past few seasons to include unisex styles and great basics. Six styles have arrived so far, with more on the way! Nudie has a vast array of fits, so take a look at their neat fit guide (http://www.nudiejeans.com/fitguide) if you're not sure what's best for you.

New York, New York!

We just arrived back from hot and sticky New York, where we picked up some great new jeans for the Spring 09 season. Keep on the look out for a little sneak preview of what's to come, plus lots of photos of brand new Fall items just arriving in the store!
