J BRAND PARTNERS WITH HENRY DUARTE

The premium denim label J Brand has collaborated with Henry Duarte, the designer famous for his fancy denim creations and detailed lacings. For their collection the former California rocker Henry Duarte and J Brand’s Jeff Rudes and Susie Crippen have created three styles inspired by rock ’n’ roll biker chic while compounding the trademarks of Duarte with the stylish and classical aesthetic of J Brand. The new collection includes original J Brand dark denim, low-rise, stretch and skinny jeans with a special attention to fit. Every pair of jeans from the J Brand/Henry Duarte Collection is made-to-measure and will arrive at retail in December.
