SkinnyGuy Skinny fit, regular rise -
This fit can distress well but it’s very tight fitting. If you work out or have big legs don’t even think about it. If you have a slim build then this fit can work for you.
SlimGuy Regular rise, straight slim fit.
These are the most comfortable of the the bunch because of the straight slim leg.
WeirdGuy Low rise, comfort fit up top with tapered leg. Can be worn regular or low on hips.
This is the best mix of comfort and style. The tapered leg makes it look more fitted.
Yo guy, fashion fans. This is MoVernie! How’s it going yo? Did you enjoy my first ever fashion video blog with designer Meghan Erin? If you like what you are seeing, keep on following. This week, we are showcasing our second episode of our fashion video blog with designer/singer-songwriter, Jay Manara and along with his crew at the Ryerson Fashion Show.
During the show, Jay got to get up the stage to share his stories to his success as a designer/singer, sharing his experiences with other up and coming designers who are chasing their dreams and goals. It was a very inspirational and motivational speech. He placed emphasis on being creative, continue to believe and chasing the dreams but at the same time, being able and willing to listen to feedback and constructive criticism to get better with the work and be able to listen and improve on the collection. Being able to balance the financial budget while carrying the passion for designing clothes are key. Designing is an important element but also being able to run the business with profit and being able to bring food to the table are also important in a day-to-day operation.
During the show, Jay also showcased his collection. In his collection, you will see a heavy influence of tattoo art and rock music culture. The brand is owned, operated and run by people who have lived and breathed the tattoo and rock music lifestyle for many years. Rock Parlor believes in the individuality of people and design, and strives to deliver unique pieces that will make you want to rock (and I truly believe his collection is definitely make you rock!)
Until next time, MoVernie is outta here! Stay tuned for more fashion video blogs and be sure to check out FashionStyleBlog.com often.
How to add the distress marks to your jeans instantly
Got a new pair of jeans and want to make it look like rockstar vintage distress jeans instead? Follow the tips from this video.
Make whisker marks with a bleach pen
Use X-acto knife to have the peeling distress effect
To make a hole just cut with a scissor after wash it will extend naturally
for a rip or slash, make an incision then
Cut out a hole and patch it with sewing by hand or machine
For larger distress use sandpaper
!Keep in mind that the distress is REAL! A hole is really a hole and you can’t go back. That’s the warning according to the video. We are playing for real here!
Video shows you how to spot a Levis fake. 501 and 550
A few simple ways to spot a Levi’s fake. Follow these and it can save you money from buying a fake. Nothing feels like the real thing.
Make sure there is a registered trademark on the tab
Make sure the tab is the brownish yellow colour, some of the fakes are different colour maybe white
Make sure the stitching around the red pocket tab has clean stitching
Some Levi’s only have R on the pocket tab without “Levi’s”, that doesn’t mean it’s a fake. They do it for some of the jeans (They put R on every 100th pair of Levi’s they make)
The part number on the paper size label should match the part number on the inside cloth tag.
LSSF code on the ribbits
If it has “Levi” instead of “Levi’s” on the pocket then it’s a fake
I did a video of me washing my raw denim jeans for the first time after 18 months and it was a big hit. Got almost 20,000 views in less than 11 months! Got a lot of feedback and questions about it. What’s most interesting was another person posted a response email of him washing his raw denim jeans.

Many wouldn’t consider leaving their jobs during a recession, but brothers Mike and Dave Radparvar did, and then student, Fabian Pfortmueller, contributed time to the building of a company that sought to do more than just sell clothing. With consumer, producer, and Earth in mind, Holstee delivers socially conscious designs to the public, as well as donates 10% of all revenue to empower third world entrepreneurs through micro lending.
I caught up with Dave at the Holstee office to get an exclusive on the company and its endeavors. Check out the video below:
After the video I made which showed me washing my selvage jeans after over 18 months of not a single wash people always provide helpful feedback such as “that’s disgusting!” and “gross”!
(It’s got over 6000 views in less than 6 months!)
That was the issue I had with the jeans too. It did not have a fresh smell but if you want great fades that’s the only way. The smell took over the closet and even my room once when I leave the closet door open. But a very effective solution I found was to use Fabreeze. Just spray it once every few weeks and you are good. Kills the smell and bacteria.
Another solution is to throw it in the freezer. I have not tried this before, but if you have please let me know how it is.
The notion of pairing sports and fashion has always been regarded as an oxymoron, up until now. In an effort to promote national pride and the Canadian Basketball Foundation, a series of limited edition shirts under Canada Basketball’s new CB Authentic label were created by Jing Liu of JUZD.
The advertising campaign, directed by eMCee, was recently shot and features the shirts in black and white and other cool effects, along with interviews with Canada’s athletes, such as Alisha Tatham and Kevin Pangos. Check out the videos below:
