Without denim jeans we wouldn’t have such creativity but the work from these artists rises far above the mere garment.
Again we want to share the amazing work of JIM ARENDT. This time through his denim sculpture.

Another portrait from PAM GLEW.
Denim has been an iconic fabric for generations. It is a fabric like no other with quixotic properties of losing its indigo colour after washing, bleaching and sunlight exposure. As well as harnessing the desire of both the mass jeans market as well as of those aficionados of the blue stuff denim has captured the imagination of creative artists Worldwide.
From the use of pre-loved indigo denim as a craft form it is now used as a high art form by unbelievable talented creatives using denim as paint. Its unique ability to bleach down, wear down/out and display different casts of blue enables such artists to take the use of denim to a much higher level than mere jeans.

Skimpy fitted denim jackets were the handwriting of Wrangler hitherto so well known for their jackets and fitted denim shirts. Man style cuffed jeans are totally pulled together when surrounded by 50’s style .
Essential blazers , velvet, tweed, cord always with the ubiquitous white shirt and rolled denim cuffs. The blazer could replace the cardigan for a smart retro attitude.
Waist focus - high cut, belted 50’s style purple casted denims. Slanted side pockets and rolled cuffs land girl style combines with wide short sleeved shirts. The white shirt as the Mom jeans accessory once made hugely famous by MM.
Super high waisted Mom jeans in dark textured indigo denim. To complete the 1950’s inspired ensemble add skimpy short sleeves with ditsy print or embroidered motifs.
Matelot stripes with wide retro neckline works perfectly with straight cut or Mom jeans. Don’t forget the rolled cuffs.
Bare midriffs, front tie shirts and high buttoned cardi’s work with high waisted easy cut well worn indigo denims. Crackle textured denim is essential for these Mom jeans. Now with stretch to help their fit.
