Naked & Famous Denim

When I first saw the name Naked & Famous and the accompanying logo (a 50’s pop-art cartoon image of an idyllic blonde woman), I was a bit put off. It seemed yet another fashion line unabashedly flaunting a celebrity consumed self indulgence.  Upon experiencing the product, however, I learned that my assumptions were far from the reality of the brand.

As it turns out, the name and the logo are ironic, full of dichotomy much like the denim the brand produces.  These are ironic, of course, and stand as an appropriate paradox that is the duty of any decent parody (think Roy Lichtenstein). The jeans they have produce are masterfully done, outright quality that hold appeal for a wide range of consumer tastes.

Whether you are a merely a tasteful shopper, a fashionphile, a denim purist, or someone just looking for a well made pair of well fitting jeans, Naked & Famous denim has something for you.  They combine excellent quality denim with modern cuts, so they have something for denim purists as well as urban style mavens.  With N&F, image never trumps comfort.  Oh, and did I mention that they have denim in a Cashmere blend? Likewise, they have patented a denim with a silk blend.  With both of these, the outer part of the denim remains tough and sturdy. The inside is soft, supple, and blanket comfortable.

Though the jeans are produced in Canada, the denim is loomed in Japan.  Understand, this is serious denim.  And in good Japanese form, it is some of the best denim in the world (even by denim aficionado standards).   Function is at the crux of Naked & Famous‘ design.  Thus, weight is a serious part in the quality of this product.  It gets as heavy as 24oz., the heaviest denim sold in the world, though most of the denim falls in the 12 to 18oz. range.  It is denim made with the quality, skill, and method as that which was produced on original 19th century looms.

Most of their jeans have a slim, modern fit (called Skinny Guy and Slim Guy, respectively). Most of the skinnier jeans contain stretch and are very comfortable, even if they are worn quite tight.

Available at Bonnie&Clyde’s, this is the Black Power Stretch in Skinny Guy fit.

For the more traditional person or denim purist, there is a wider cut (Weird Guy).  Many of the jeans are selvedge and EVERY pair is RAW.  They don’t wash any of their denim.

This is the Cashmere Denim in grey.

And for those of you who don’t care much for denim but like the way that jeans fit, there is the Gabardine Pant, which is my personal favorite.  They are slim, sleek, and comfortable (true gabardine with a hint of elasticity).

Above is the Gabardine Suit, available as a whole or as individual pieces.

All of these styles are available at Bonnie&Clyde’s Boutique.
