BIKER GROOVE
Warrior crossed with
biker-style denim hits
its stride this spring
with heavy stitching
details and reinforced
kneepads. Designers
from Acne showed
their new biker jeans
embellished with gold
studs for a tough yet
glamorous edge.
HOW TO WEAR
Channel the iconic Marianne Faithfull
(pictured above) in the 1968 film Girl On
A Motorcycle by keeping things feminine
but practical. Mix rough and ready jeans with
a simple white T-shirt or a pretty lace top. Add
high strappy sandals or platform heels and
dishevelled hair for a cool biker vibe. Accessorise
with your own Sixties Rolling Stone-alike.

DISTRESSED
Ripped, shredded and
torn apart, Balmain’s
whole collection
featured denim and
leather jeans that
looked tattered, worn
and gorgeous. When it
comes to this style, you
need to channel your
inner Mad Max.
HOW TO WEAR
Match your frayed
jeans with sharpshouldered
jackets
that mean business or worn-in, rock-style T-shirts.
Add high-heeled ankle boots for extra attitude.
If showing too much flesh is not your thing, you
can DIY it and sew some fabric behind the holes
(Hudson Jeans used the Union Jack on its denim),
or wear a pair of coloured leggings underneath.

SKIN TIGHT
The skinny is here to
stay. James Jeans’
denim doctors Catrina
Jamieson and Sue
Gunn’s new super-light
8oz denim will stop
us overheating this
summer, and they also
think the spray-on
jegging will continue to
be a hit in pale washes.
HOW TO WEAR
Team with a ballet
pump for Sixties style,
or heels for endless
legs. A longer length,
slouchy top looks right
with a tight jean,
while a darker colour
is easier to wear.
