Junya Watanabe really gives all leather lovers a good reason to look forwards to their fall 2025 collection. A total leather feast!

And we are talking about almost surrealistic geometric leather designs.

Watanabe also introduced glossy leather pieces sculpted into geometric shapes, transforming traditional biker jackets and trench coats into architectural forms.

Admitted, some of the pieces do look rather “un-wearable” in real life. But then again, who knows – aren’t we constantly changing our concepts of what to wear how and when!?!?

Have a look at the complete show in the video. And check out individual leather looks and highlights in our gallery below

You can shop for Junya Watanabe clothing at SSENSE women/men, Bergdorf Goodman, and at CETTIRE.

Every once in a while we do come across some apparently “makes no sense” denim looks. But here, @Denimology we have one unbreakable rule. We do not judge.

We are here just to report and share our denim finds with you.

As is the case with these jeans from the Duran Lantink Fall 2025 collection. Presented at Paris Fashion Week, the collection, named “Duranimals,” shows the designer’s signature blend of audacious creativity and sustainability. The collection drew inspiration from the animal kingdom, featuring bold patterns and innovative designs that challenge conventional fashion norms.

For those of you who don’t yet know about the brand, Duran Lantink is a Paris/Amsterdam based brand. Super environmentally conscious, Lantink creates clothes made of pre-loved pieces, deadstock and any sustainable materials. And by the look of the jeans here, the brand seems also to have a pretty good sense of humor! Oh yeah, and audacity! Have a look for yourself right here!

If you’re asking now – how is it possible to keep theses jeans up, the explanation is: wearable prosthetics. Well if that doesn’t put a smile on your face….

Adding a layer of whimsy, the collection incorporated wearable prosthetics that accentuated certain body parts, aligning with the “Duranimals” theme and challenging traditional notions of beauty and form.

These jeans won’t be in stores until a few months from now. But we will update you when they’ll be available and where. Stay tuned!

Last year we’ve told you about the upcoming collaboration of supermodel Brooks Nader with Hudson. And now it is happening. This capsule is available to shop for as of right now.

And what we love most is that the flap pocket jeans, kind of the Hudson’s trademark, are so totally back again. Yeah, those flaps with the little Union Jack flag (below)!

We’ve always loved how they make your butt look cool and sexy. And when the brand stopped producing these jeans for a while, we really missed them.

Especially, when you are more of a classic denim fan and don’t want to goo too overboard with the latest denim trends. Flap pockets in otherwise classic fit jeans are a great option to do something a bit different without giving up on your favorite fit.

As mentioned in our feature, one of the new denim fits this season are the Beth Straight jeans. They come in the traditional Hudson wash – a medium dark blue, are ankle length and feature those above mentioned flap pockets.

Part of the Brooks Nader collab capsule, the Beth Mid-Rise Straight Ankle Jean in North Gate is a nod to the brand’s original Beth fit with the same signature flap pocket. It features a double-button waistband, flap pockets at back with the Union Jack flag label and a 28″ inseam with a clean finished hem. To elevate the look, they have added gold branded buttons and a branded patch to the back waistband.

And for those of you who love the latest denim trend, a baggy lower rise fit, there’s the perfect pair for you in this collab as well.

The Brooks Low & Loose Jean, available in a light blue and faded grey wash.

The Brooks Low & Loose Jean in Poolside is designed to sit low on the hip with a baggy fit throughout the leg, and it has a clean finished hem. These jeans also come with gold branded buttons and a branded patch to the back waistband. Both – the blue and the grey jeans – are made of lightweight Italian rigid denim. They feature heavy stone washing, bleaching, whiskering, all-over hand-sanding, edge grinding and tacking at the pocket scoops.

You can check out the the complete capsule collection from this collaboration here.

Also, watch the “Behind the Scenes” video, really cute!

R13 – as always – has us covered in the latest and most advanced fashion trends.

The Boyfriend Cardigan

Camouflage pattern has been a fashion thing since we can remember. Some seasons it becomes a must-do trend that you see everywhere. And some season the camos kind of fade into the background.

The X-Boyfriend Jeans

This spring 2025 camo everything is definitely one of the biggest must-do trends. And by that we don’t refer only to camo pants, but shirts, dresses, and skirts as well. And it’s trending everywhere, in streetwear, high fashion, and utilitarian-inspired styles.

The Drop Neck Shirt

The Sleeveless Midi Dress

Over the years, designers have reimagined camo prints in various ways, from traditional military patterns to abstract and colorful interpretations.

R13 this season decided on combining “hard core” with “soft” They have embellished the traditional camouflage with roses. Either in prints or appliques.

Roses x traditional camo print – actually quite a juxtaposition. Camos are associated with war and fighting while roses are the symbol of love.

You can shop for this collection here.

How about enjoying another one of the very “Diesel-like” ad campaigns? Always guaranteed to add a smile to your face!

Diesel just launched their Spring/Summer 2025 ad campaign is about an intriguing and immersive exploration of human interaction. What unfolds when a group of strangers live together, aware that their every move is being closely observed.

Come in. Make yourself at home and get to know your fellow houseguests. Living in such close quarters, you’ll make friends, enemies or take a lover. Enjoy, experiment, and express yourself. There is but one house rule: we get to watch.

The Diesel SS25 campaign, The Houseguests, is the latest visual collaboration between creative director Glenn Martens and art director Christopher Simmonds, who continue to antagonize and amuse with ironic visual narratives stocked with eccentrics. 

The Houseguests is inspired by an archival Diesel campaign from S/S’94 depicting a multigenerational cast of disparate characters in a living room, shot from a bird’s eye view. Photographed by Frank Le Bon, the S/S’25 campaign emboldens the concept, capturing a range of absurdist scenarios.

The diverse Diesel-clad housemates, spanning ages, races, genders, and body types, host a surrealist dinner party where the dress code is Summer Casts denim.

When one member of the house drives a car through the living room, two others pose on the hood in bright red and yellow Sporty Racer leather looks. Everyone else stands by unphased in moto jackets with racing stripes and denim with race car details. In the kitchen-turned-beauty-parlor, the houseguests await leg waxing treatments in jacquard and fringed denim from the SS25 runway. The communal bathroom becomes a backdrop for draped and tied Bandana looks. Otherworldly creatures, including a bird, flock to the slime green bedroom to lounge in trompe l’oeil lingerie looks.

Under the all-seeing eye, no detail goes unnoticed. Accessories include new curvy Double D bags, Metamorphic stainless steel chain jewelry, the Closer bracelet watch and Trini-D-Y sunglasses and optical frames accented with industrial hole-punch details.

The Houseguests embodies Diesel’s spirit of individuality, freedom and personal expression through irony and wit. All the world’s a stage, and someone is always watching. 

Diesel’s newest spring collection is available on their website. You can also shop for Diesel clothing at YOOX, Farfetch. and at CETTIRE.

Giveaway: Enter to Win $1,000 Worth of Iconic Pieces from KATO

KATO first popped up on our radar a few years back when we first got a look at one of their Ripper Flannels. Each season since then, they’ve piled one noteworthy release on top of another, winning new fans and followers at every turn.

Their 17 oz. Mammoth Four-Way Stretch Selvedge (which we’ve reviewed here) is arguably the best and most-dependable heavyweight stretch selvedge on the market, and their stable is chock full of rip-snorting denim, sashiko, Melton wool, and moleskin jackets and overshirts.

As well as anybody, KATO have proven themselves to be a kind of one-stop-shop for those looking for their particular brand of smart casual or elevated rugged. If the style speaks to you, this is a can’t-miss giveaway.

The giveaway is a complete starter kit for those looking for a style overhaul or upgrade.

It includes a pair of their 14 oz. Four-Way Stretch selvedge jeans, a Brace Diamond Plaid Shirt, an Anvil Birds Eye Sashiko Shirt Jacket, and a denim wash and spray kit to help keep the raw denim pieces smelling fresh. All told, they’re giving away nearly $1,000 worth of gear.

14 oz. Four-Way Stretch Selvedge Jeans

This is the denim that really got the ball rolling for KATO. The 14 oz. Four-Way Stretch Selvedge features stretch yarns woven into both the warp and the weft, which allows for a small but noticeable amount of stretch both up and down and from side to side.

Pairs made from this denim have proven to be an excellent bridge into the world of well-made selvedge for newcomers, but, at the same time, they’ve also converted a considerable number of raw denim purists.

Equal parts comfortable and stylish, they’re an excellent weekend pair for weekend warriors or denimheads who want or need a break from stiff and heavy pairs.

Emerald Brace Diamond Plaid Shirt

With their manufacturing base planted in the American Southwest, the designers at KATO have clearly been inspired by their sun-baked surroundings.

Their flannels are far from the heaviest on the market, but that’s the point. They’re as easy wearing as they are easy on the eyes.

Their new Emerald Brace shirt is one of the most handsome colourways we’ve seen this year (and we’ve seen a lot).

Made from 100% cotton and finished with metal cat’s eye buttons, the flannel is also available in Ruby and Sapphire, but the earthy Emerald colourway is our favourite.

---

Anvil Birds Eye Sashiko Jacket

We recently got a sneak peek at KATO’s new collection, and this 10 oz. sashiko leapt out at us. With strong potential to be a signature fabric for KATO going forward, it oozes charm from every little stab.  

The Anvil Shirt Jacket has been a popular favourite for quite a while, but it’s never looked quite this good. With curved chest pockets and patch pockets at the hip, it’s equal parts rugged and elegant, and it’ll just get better the more you wear it.

---

Bonus: Denim Wash and Spray Kit

The good people at KATO understand that raw denim is meant to be worn for as long as possible between washes. To help extend that period, they’ve provided a Denim Linen Spray that helps freshen up denim (it can also be used on bedding and other fabrics).

Of course, this only delays the inevitable. When your jeans need the full wash, treat them to this French denim soap, formulated specifically for dark indigo tones. It’s tough enough to remove set-in stains, but your denim will come out of the wash feeling surprisingly soft and supple.

Wrangler’s second collaboration with multi-award-winning country star

 Lainey Wilson kicks off for Spring/Summer 25

It’s back, and it’s bolder than ever. Wrangler and Lainey Wilson join forces again to bring a new collection that fuses the essence of country with fierce femininity.

The multi-award-winning country star takes her career to the next level this year, kicking off her Whirlwind world tour in Europe this month before riding on to North America. With Wrangler supporting the tour, Wilson brings her explosive live event to major venues in cities including London, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles.

Created with Wrangler’s design team, and drawing inspiration from her own wardrobe and the Wrangler archive, Wilson has curated a collection that tells her story, from her Louisiana farm roots to the dazzling spotlight of the world’s biggest stages.

“Lainey’s grit, heart, and style are unmatched,” said Vivian Rivetti, Vice President of Global Design at Wrangler. “This collection captures that raw energy, blending her bold, unique style with Wrangler’s timeless western heritage.”

Wilson’s trademark silhouette headlines the collection, with bellbottoms featuring leopard print, jewel embellishments, wildflower embroidery and floral jumpsuit. Bold red, white and blue stripes give flares an Americana feel, while the bestselling boot hugger jean fit is a more subtle take on Wilson’s aesthetic.

Wilson’s boho vibe inspires festival looks with suede fringing and embroidery, alongside oversized tees with vintage graphics featuring lyrics. Classic Western shirts, with nostalgic landscape prints, remind us of the rugged beauty of the West.

With the Western trend dominating culture, authenticity shines and trailblazing is the driving spirit. The Wrangler X Lainey Wilson collection is a celebration of grit and glamour, ready to redefine the Western style, one unforgettable look at a time.

 This collection is now live and available for purchase on the Wrangler website.

So ok. It’s confession time from yours truly. And summing it up in one sentence – there will always be skinny jeans in my life.

By now it’s no big secret that I have always been about baggy and uber oversized jeans. And I definitely still am. The more over the better, actually. And by always I mean, literally always. Before boyfriend jeans became a thing I used to wear mainly men’s jeans. So then, this said, my confession should really be shocking, but then again, it isn’t shocking at all.

Because I have come to accept that the skinny jean will always be my go-to for certain occasions. Skinny jeans will remain a wardrobe staple in my denim closet. And here’s why.

Can you imagine showing up at a first date in baggies? Or going to a job interview? Or meeting your future mother-in-law for the first time? Or going with your boyfriend/husband/partner to his college reunion? Can you really go through life without a pair of black skinny jeans? I could go on forever, but I am sure you already got the idea!

This said, well, unfortunately it’s not the easiest task these days to find cool skinny jeans out there. But I did score the internet and also looked in brick and mortar stores and below you can find my top favorite skinnies and why I love them.

But before you scroll down – do you stick to skinny jeans, or do you switch it up with different fits? We’d love to hear from you:-) You can leave a comment below this feature or anywhere on our social media.

Mott & Bow’s Jane Jeans ($119) have perfectly placed back pockets which make your butt look amazing. Available in mid- and hi-rise in five different washes.

Madewell 10″ High-Rise Skinny Jeans come in a beautiful vintage wash and are available in petite (I am 5″4) as well as standard and long. The perfect inseam length is an important issue for almost everyone.

MOTHER The Mid Rise Dazzler Ankle Jeans ($238). Summer is coming and there’s one denim wash I will always fall back on to: a very light shade of blue.

Not to mention a pair of skinny white jeans. Quite tricky because they can be very transparent. That’s why I go for a heavier weight denim like the Zadig&Voltaire Ava Cropped Jeans ($248). The zipper on the front pockets is an additional plus!

And definitely the must-have black skinnies. No explanation needed. There is and always will be an occasion in our life when these are a “fundamental necessity”!

L’AGENCE Marguerite Skinny Jeans ($245)

BLANKNYC The Principle Vegan Leather Jeans ($98)
