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.
To many denim aficionados, raw denim is considered an art form. Raw denim is essentially jeans in its natural state, protected from the intervention of mankind. As such, it is a reflection of the wearer’s body and possesses the unique ability to tell the story the denim has imprinted over the course of time.
Jing Liu has embarked on a journey with his Naked and Famous denim for the last 18 months, which coincidentally enough is roughly the same time Juzd was created. One could argue the very same pair of jeans he has worn every single day has chronicled the journey Juzd has taken.

GROWING PARANOIA – THE MOVIE
VERONIKA LONDON- STARRING AS LACY
Logline:
Hired by a biker gang to live inside a residential house being used for a marijuana growing operation, Steve Dillinger and his girlfriend Lacy think they have the perfect job. But the seclusion and paranoia due to the illegal nature of it, causes stress and tension to build, especially when they discover they are not the only ones residing in the house.
Synopsis:
Steve Dillenger is a small time drug dealer going nowhere in life, until opportunity knocks and a biker gangs has him move into a house with his girlfriend, Lacy. The basement of the house is set up as a marijuana growing operation for the biker gang and as to not attract unwanted attention from neighbors or the police, the bikers need Steve and Lacy to play “house” and keep any suspicions at bay. It’s a dream job with more money then either of them have ever seen.
But as time passes and cabin fever sets in, their job takes its toll on the couple. Paranoia sinks in and Lacy begins seeing things, convinced the house is haunted and the Spirits are not happy with them being in their home. Believing that the bikers will not let them just walk away, Steve, who has been increasingly dipping into the readily available stash of narcotics, is desperate to get out of the situation. In the hopes of making a lot of extra money quickly, so they will be able to just sneak away in the night, he brings in a Crystal Meth cooker to set up a lab upstairs at a very inviting price. But sneaking around behind the bikers’ backs only adds to the paranoia.
And as Lacy looks into the history of the house and who the angry Spirit might be, it’s already too late for everyone in the house. Between the bikers and the ghost of a woman who used to live in the house, no one may make it out alive.
And also be sure to watch the trailer for Jane Doe right here on our blog.

I learned one of the most important lessons from this book. I read Chasing Cool about a month ago as it was recommended by my friend Yvonne of HeyDoYou. As I started reading I begin to think it was a composition of articles throwing out catch phases and cliches about going within to find yourself and not copying or looking at others.
It talked about avoiding trend reports. What a foolish thing I thought, how can you design relevant pieces that people will buy if it’s not on the mark or what is hot.
The more I read into the book I realize the whole book was that one theme. But something change, it was me. I started to fully understand what it means to be yourself and not care about others. I knew what it meant to be authentic, true to your brand, your vision, and who you are as a brand.
That have been an important lesson, at the end I knew who I was, what JUZD Streetwear stands for, what I have to do create and not follow. It’s a simple lesson “be authentic”, two words but for me to understand the meaning behind the two words I had to read 227 pages and it was worth it.
What we have been doing was looking at the trends and fashion reports and works of other designer. However it felt very strange, incongruent. The first JUZD collection came out and it was very well received. Even to this point people are still ordering it. Yet when we did the first collection I didn’t know anything about fashion, about trends, about reports or the shirt industry, I did it because that’s what I thought was good art.
As I am working hard on the current collection no longer do I care what others are doing or what is doing well in the stores. JUZD is not in the business of copying others or even following paths of other lines, we are in the business of creating our brand, our own direction, and our own style. It’s even better if our line doesn’t look like what’s hot out there. It means we are original, and when you create good art, those people who appreciate it will buy it.
It’s the last of the major fashion weeks – Paris – for the fall/winter 2010 season. Not too long before we begin reconsidering the warmth of spring again. So in this edition of the weekly style redux, we’ve opted for a very summery outfit, which you can wear with your Koncept tee from the online JUZD shop.
2. Patterns are definitely still in for another season. They’ve been a complete hit since several seasons ago; and yes, floral is still in! Pick up this vibrant floral printed skirt, online only deal at Urban Outfitters for $58.00 USD.
3. Wedges are hot this season; spice up your shoe collection with these black wedges from Forever 21 for $22.80.
When one thinks of being “green” , the first thought that comes to mind is the phrase “reducing, reusing, and recycling”. A Toronto based brand has latched onto this idea effectively in the form of stylish and practical designs making use of gently used fabrics. The founder of Preloved, Julia Grieve, opened the first store in 1995 and has only moved up since. Grieve has been asked to appear on numberous television shows, such as Project Runway Canada and How to Look Good Naked Canada, and was also the host of Diva on a Dime. Along with creative designer, Peter Friesen, the Preloved named has moved out of Toronto and extended its reach as far to Australia, the U.S., Japan and all over Europe.
The designs for Preloved are chic and modern and celebrities including Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, have been known to sport the brand. Despite its cosmopolitan appeal, the biggest claim to fame for Preloved is its green initiative and sustainability. Grieve has stayed true to her beginnings and still uses only pre-worn clothing, such as sweaters or jeans, however, she does not limit herself and also creates wonderful designs from curtains, and bed sheets. No matter what materials are used, this writer still thinks Preloved creates some of the cutest dresses she’s ever seen.
And be sure to check out the Spring 2010 collection by Preloved, showcasing at next month’s Toronto LG Fashion Week!
As New York Fashion Week kicks off with fall and winter designs, the fashion industry was shocked to learn that designer Alexander (née Lee) McQueen was found to have committed suicide yesterday. The 40 year old designer was said to have hanged himself after a slew of anguished online remarks regarding his mother’s death last week. McQueen is credited with reviving the once dying British fashion industry with his edgy and ingenious designs. The revered designer will be sorely missed by admirers of his boldness and by the fashion industry, family, and friends.
The JUZD team would like to offer their condolences to those affected by the death of Alexander McQueen. We too are shocked to have lost such a talented designer.
