LOOKBOOK: CURRENT/ELLIOTT
Blue jeans for Christmas!
Current/Elliott was born when stylists-turned-designers Emily (Current) and Merrit (Elliott) started customizing vintage pieces, mostly made of denim. Now all their jeans go through a secret washing and fading process that makes them feel like your favorite pair from high school.
The Spring 2010 collection has a lot of old staples (such as the perfect shirt), and some new highlights like the skipper jacket (a marching-band style blazer). There are also some non-denim pieces including blouses, dressed, and skirts that can transform anyone from farm girl to pin-up girl. There's even a super cute chambray bikini complete with large blue buttons.
