A great pair of Jeans to buy this Winter - MELTINPOT

noreply@blogger.com (Denimoholic) — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:50:00 +0000

Hey Guys : Its been some time now i have reviewed my favorite Denim Brand. But yes we are around the best weather and all festive time around, time is just right to review my favourite pair of Denim This Season from MELTINPOT'S brand new autumn winter collection KLSH 2012

The Denim which i picked up as the best from the collection is MP001 D1540-UK111

Check out this beautiful pair of Jeans as i unfold its amazing details in a series of images . .

There lies on top my recently made artwork, one of the best Denim style for the coming winter by MELTINPOT, Italy.

First things first : Coolest aspect of this pair is its a NEP DENIM

Nep denim contains entangled fibres and has those little white dots in them. It helps create a irregualr and roughness to it.

A lot of people think its a fault and devalues the quality of fabric but, we "Denimoholics" Loveeeeee this aspect , as we love raw denims, are we weird in thinking. ( Reminds me of Naked & Famous - color nep denim ) also super cool.

Well i always try to compliment the Denim with some "Artistic " touch as i feel denim itself is so expressive, so i have included this piece of art i did and used as the background. Both complimented each other so well
i ended up splattering some acrylic paint on the jeans ;-) well am wearing them now almost everyday and YESS it looks KILLAH !

I just love MP'S washes, among a lot denim brands i guess they do the best of Laundry jobs on denim. It just shows when you look and feel it. The best aspect of a really good wash is - "It should look as natural as possible" combined with new innovative techniques and precision, which i always found in MP's jeans.

DIESEL is Diesel but, MP is making their mark...

With so many Jeans brand floating in the market today, i'm very much impressed by MP's uniqueness and quality. A pair of jeans is like a ARTWORK ( for me ) i'm sure you guys agree as well. Beauty lies in details.

Crafted in the finest way , i love the way branding flows in an MP Jeans. Using the best materials , trims , labels and Buttons all matters when it comes to denim.

The depth and consistency in the wash is technical thing to master as well, i took some really close ups of the areas where the faded, creased effects are given. Its just a treat to the eye.

Below this small detail of pocket being " made look creased and faded " is a thing you might not notice and ignore, but from my experience in denim making the right way of doing this is very hard to achieve, this is just done beautifully and looks just Natural.

You can style this pair up, with your favorite crisp white shirt for a SHARP, CLEAN look.

I love wearing it with my Favorite T SHIRT with HENDRIX print and walk out . . .

You guys can check out the style online on their webstore to grab it now !

CAMEL ACTIVE - " I Dig their stuff and Look "

noreply@blogger.com (Denimoholic) — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 17:49:00 +0000

C.A.M.E.L.A.C.T.I.V.E

A fRESH Look at Denim and SOME REAL "cool" stuffs i see " .

tHIS is the first thing came in Mind .............. on viewing and going through the latest CAMEL ACTIVE , AUTUMN WINTER 12 CAMPAIGN / WEBSITE.

First of all great website , super cool theme " NEPAL "

i personally heart the "Collection" and the way the campaign has been shot , and of course the scenic locations in the Himalayas. Myself being a "HIMALAYAN" i just loved the HOMEPAGE of CAMELACTIVE and explored the the new AW12 Range and found what i expected it to be.

The theme being "NEPAL" the Look has been kept very, active, rugged outdoor and a trek feel. Every piece just sort of tells a story in every shot.

My favorite pieces from collection would the " FLEECE COLLAR LEATHER JACKET"

and the denim jacket.

Now CAMEL ACTIVE not being a "denim brand" has of course done justice to the denim Look, by making some real cool looking Denims and Outerwear pieces. It totally does justice to every denim piece in the collection !

I would also say " the look for AW12 reminds me of "MELTINPOT" & JACK & JONES !

"A super cool looking collection and a kick ass CAMPAIGN ;-)

Cycle Man – King Of The Alps – Fall/Winter 2012

"just got the first look of a new denim look"

Deep among the Alps is Tyrol with its unmistakable culture, nature and wildlife, reinterpreted as one of the leading themes of Cycle’s new collection.

The inspiration is shaped by the materials and colour in the collection – from mélange and felt wool, treated and dirtied knits to aged wools worn down by mountain-life. A range of knits are presented in the collection: tricot, shetland, gabardine – all enriched by leather and fur details. The peacoat, one of the key pieces of the collection, is developed in fleece, felt and gabardine, moleskin, satin and leather, all warmly padded. Highlights in the collection include tricot pieces in the form of cardigans and shawl-necked tops; oversize pullovers which can be also used as outerwear; wool kaban and coats are enriched by felt details

Fab Summer Fun Freebies

noreply@blogger.com (Denimoholic) — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 09:01:00 +0000

Hey Fellas our freind Catherine had some real cool ideas for some fun shopping and zillions fun things to do this SUMMER :

Fab Summer Fun Freebies

Fun in the sun doesn’t have to cost the earth. Follow our top tips for an inexpensive summer this year.

Walking

Make the most of the great outdoors and head for a walk, which can help to burn off the calories before a delicious pub lunch. Invest in some good clobber to plan against the unpredictable British weather, such as good quality women’s and men’s jackets and sturdy boots. The UK is full of great walks – check out the Guardian’s Great British Walks for inspiration.

Picnics

Take advantage of the sunny weather and take a picnic to your local park. Plan a romantic meal for two, or why not invite all your friends along and make a whole afternoon of it? If you’re lucky enough to live near a beach, pack the towels and swimsuit for a dip afterwards. Advance train tickets are a cheap option for exploring more of the UK – remember to pack your film-star shades and wide brimmed hat for summer time chic!

Garden parties

If you have a great garden, share it with your nearest and dearest by holding al fresco summer parties and BBQs. Relaxing with your loved ones is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon, with the added advantage of being able to take it inside if it rains (and we all know how likely that is!).

Summer events

If you’ve missed out on tickets to the big summer sports events, why not find your nearest outdoors big screen to catch Wimbledon or the Olympics with your fellow fans? If you’re a fan of the arts, there are always loads of free events to take advantage of. Lots of cities have open-air cinemas over the summer, with listings of events and festivals normally available on local websites.

House swap

If you fancy a break away from home but don’t have the money for a big holiday then why not look into house sitting? This new travel craze is a great way to visit a new place with free accommodation, with just a few plant-watering or cat-feeding duties to fulfil. The larger house sitting networks may require an annual fee, but the money you’ll save on hotel costs is guaranteed to make them worthwhile.

CoNtinuing from the last post ;-)

wELL SUPER EXCITEd I WAS AS ALWAYS as i opened the new MP style for Spring Summer 12 . No need for me to mention the genius of product development at the MP Studio, the washes are just irresistible for the new SS12 Collection.

Details:

-Top of the art wash. ( Just the perfect summer wash )

- amazing product details ( i love the back pocket detail )

- the ZIPPER detail adds to the energetic and young feel

- the distressed look ( the dry process ) with the layering is just amazing again as was in the Autumn Winter collection.

- Fabric weight is perfectly chosen for a light , easy summer wear.

We did this fun shoot this time around , combining the new Premium Mens Shirt range from KOSLAK's new Himalyan Summer Collection for SS12 (http://www.notjustalabel.com/koslak ) ,www.koslak.com both were meant to be together !

The Himalayan snow shirt series by KOSLAK perfectly complemented the ever' amazing Jeans by MEltin Pot .

Love the Campaign, love the new " washed out " look, again great styles developed both in M,en as well as Women range. I was pretty impressed by the Quality of wash,the weight of fabric used ( 9 -10 OZ ) which is just perfect for a freebird summer feel. Pumped up !

Also i would suggest you guys check the Shirt range, Really cool vintage feel, in vintage florals , perfect for the summer getaway, keeping you in the spotlight and with the latest trend in fashion.

ROBERT GRAHAM JEANS - " An artistic and beautiful Jeans"

noreply@blogger.com (Denimoholic) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:33:00 +0000

ROBERT GRAHAM JEANS " is the latest amazing discovery for me :-)

Robert Graham launched in 2001
Robert Stock is the founder, co-chairman and chief creative officer of Robert Graham
The Robert Graham aesthetic is American Eclectic
Robert Graham is an American company with headquarters located in New York City

Looking, feeling and receiving the product just makes you feel that great warm, determined people are behind the design, production and development of this new amazing Denim Collection. I always remember how their Shirts, Jackets would like, i was in fact pretty curious to have a look at their first pair of jeans, the moment i got the mail from Sonia ;-)

Well to my expectations, it was just beautiful, just as expected, a lot of minute, fine details has been put in a pair of jeans.

A lot of hand on craftsmenship. Those crisp, unique embroidery details, the use of bright trims and the stitch quality are few things you would notice in a pair of Robert Graham Jeans.

Apart from these it has a unique selvedge detail of contrast stitch, which just enhances the look of the jeans as you fold it up.

Also a great feature i found was the, antique finish, old font "Robert Graham" branding coated with transparent acrylic on the front button.

The Rivets/studs engraved "Robert Graham" also gives you a sense of an old masterfully made jeans. All in all every detail in the Jeans pair compliments to combine and form a " artsitic and beautiful jeans"

"I would define ROBERT GRAHAM JEANS " as " An artistic and beautiful Jeans" ;-)

You guys should go ahead and appreciate the beautifully crafted jeans by Robert Graham. Well i am for sure, and i will put up a new post about these same pair later sometime when i would have lived in it for quite some time ;-)

ANOTHER LEVEL & STANDARD!!

noreply@blogger.com (Denimoholic) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:42:00 +0000

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence and Technology,, today, it appears that all these worked towards giving us a lot of help and advantage.... For instance, photo shop, corel draw are highly used across the globe by many designers to help enhance the idea and finally give a visual attraction and bring it to Life.

We here at Denimoholic are exploring and working hard towards bringing that standard of expert-ism to the Industry. So that many explorations can be done viz, washes and looks without actually spoiling or ruining any trial samples. This way we thought the industry would save a lot of fabric from trial and error.

Here's a little treat on how to save a cost.

- create your designs

- scan the fabric

- now using photo shop/ fill in tool u can actually fill up the design with the fabric

- finally u know what the actual composition is to be used inorder to get the actual product as desired.

VOILA!!!

ITS SIMPLY ON THE WASH!!

noreply@blogger.com (Denimoholic) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:27:00 +0000

It has to always start from a scratch. From creating the Design on a piece of paper keeping in mind all the important features and details. In this case the Fabric, Basic silhouette, the wash, the buttons, stitch lines/ details, pocket linings, and add ons such as the worn out effect and the torns would come naturally once the layout is done.

If you think of using any extra element such as leather detail,, think smart and practical as to how, where and why to apply the same. With the same view always remember the aesthetic part of the product. Because without a look or appeal it'll go and come back straight from the market without a response. We dont want that, do we???

Now from what we called a Basic Denim we thought of giving it a little bit of appeal wihtout having to put in too much of styling detail and hard work. Hence, the answer came quite quick with the idea of giving it a worn out look..... It'll have a real grunge Look from its worn out effect but in a subtle manner based on its basic design apart from the wash.

So here we go, a basic denim with a grunge worn out effect.

LET'S MERGE AND SHARE!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Denimoholic) — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 19:26:00 +0000

I feel good, excited and would like to thank my pal Thinles to have given me the liberty to share and execute my ideas and know how to the amazing blog. Lets say this is another small extended intro version to the main base huh Thinle??,, Meaning to say we are growing steadily and working hard to fill the hunger for the NEXT EPISODE, we'll try and make sure it's on the high Buzzzz..... Cheers and Peace!!!

A lot of great reviews and accolades for their cliche defying,bold, contemporary menswear line.

They have combined traditional with the individualistic fashion from the urban life. The effort is to bring fresh ideas and new elements into the Indian fashion Industry. This collection had an interesting synthesis of hand-woven ‘snambu’ woven locally in Ladakh with various weights of jean fabric or denim giving the collection an inimitable blend. The collection comprised of specially worked upon outerwear pieces. They have imparted a very rare feel and look to the pieces which make the coarse snambu fabric a lot softer, wearable and highly desirable keeping in mind the practical use of garments.

The outerwear pieces of the collection are goncha-inspired with ornamental trims and accessorisation. The silhouettes are slightly loose and confortable but edgy. The pattern used for the jackets are specially developed from the original goncha pattern. The highlight being the intelligent incorporation of a contemporary fit through technical pattern making.

Materials used for the Jackets are raw denim, ecru, twill, heavy linen and leather with fleece lining combined intelligently with snambu(wool). They are worked upon with indigenous wash treatments and also smeared in ink and paint to impart a unique look and feel. The shirts have original placement prints and exclusive details inspired by the Himalayas. The Tshirts have avant-garde silhouettes and made in light weight viscose jersey and bear original screen printed graphics with interesting placements. An exclusive part of the collection is special hand crafted denims which are artistically blended with
material and current trends offering a natural feel,loose and comfortable fit.

RETARDED VELVET :Lakme Fashion week Debut 2011: "Feathers and Dots"

Canadian designer duo Theresa James and Roger Prince of Retarded Velvet's debut collection, Feathers and Dots could be defined as global eclecticism in a nutshell. The collection was unisex with its vivid amalgamation of South Indian lungis, Mexican serape and ponchos in candy colored batik and ikat prints. We loved the attention to details in the form of fringe that gave the ensembles a very Native American vibe. The collection as a whole looked promising with stand-out pieces that transcend from runway to wardrobe with ease.

Teresa :”emphasis on proportions, the collection had a unisex appeal with a relaxed unstructured touch. Bringing together the beauty of varied fabrics like Ghanaian batik, Native American fabrics, South Indian cotton with Tencel and Lyocell…”

I'm so loving the images Matthew Burditt Photographyfor Retarded Velvet http://www.retardedvelvet.com/ss-2012/press-kit/

Retarded Velvet - S/S 2012 - PRESS KIT

"I love the SUPPEEEEEEEER COOL voluminous, loose,summer jeans with an equally SUPERB wash effect."

Truly the piece would set a trend, you can pair the cool pants with your regular vintage t-shirt, loose plain white t shirt, to have a unisex & relaxed look.

Check out what's boilin in'it inside RETARDED VELVET's creative den *

The Retarded Velvet duo have taken a circuitous route to fashion design. Theresa James (aka Holiday) and Roger Prince (aka Capital) met during a marathon DJ set by house music legend Danny Tenaglia, but little did they know that their paths would be so entwined in life and art.

Growing up on a farm in rural Saskatchewan, Capital dreamed of being a member of Loverboy. Zig-zagging across Canada from West to East (and back again) as a contractor, he has restored heritage homes, is self-taught in interior design and has been involved in a number of construction projects in the Lower Mainland and Gulf Islands. Fearlessly, Capital plays as hard on his mountain bike as he does on his snowboard, and is known for whipping up a mean sucre a la creme.

Holiday's longing for adventure did not cease when, as a child, she was mugged by a rogue monkey while wandering the streets of Bombay. She did, however, abandon her early dreams of fine art studies for "practical" professional training in international development and human rights law to work for the UN. Her life lead to cultural and professional experiences in Ghana, Northern Ireland, the Netherlands, Albania and Papua New Guinea. Guided by instinct, Holiday collected bolts of fabric from her travels knowing there was a greater purpose at work.

Life is amazing indeed ‐ I say it again ;‐D

" I just had this thought of buying a new pair of jeans for myself, my old ‘faithful ever classic 501 was telling me to stop wearing him all the time " Ha ha ha ......

Well its hard to find a cool pair of Jeans " i mean something like what i wanted" it’s almost impossible to get in India, believe me i tried every single brand, store, prices .. .......u name it DIESEL, ENERGIE, JACK & JONES etc but i could never find a pair to replace my vintage 501.

22nd July. 2011 16:25 pm i get a call from the courier guys that i have a parcel from 73046 Matino (LE) ITALIA , i was super excited. As i had been waiting for this parcel to arrive. Waited long enough but, guess what it was all worth it. I hold her hand (i mean my other half ;‐) and rushed to check the parcel, there it was right in front of me!

Well most would think why was i so excited, its like a normal parcel, a denim you ordered and you received huh !

" Who gets so lucky to get his/her choice of favourite brand/favourite style/custom fit worth Euro 185 for free, couriered to you from ITALIA ‐to ‐ INDIA with love ".

Well this case was different :

This was the perfect pair jeans i had in mind for myself, which i could find nowhere, it looked like my LEVI'S® 501's lost brother. Guess I’ll be living in and out of it for at least a month every day, every hour . . .

. . .......

Why don't you guys have a look at this amazing pair. Visit www.meltinpot.com to get this style !
