Brandon, the designer of Canadian-based denim line Naked and Famous, is a bit of a bad-ass. He is anti-celebrity and anti-endorsment. Which means he is quite a rebel as far as today's celeb-driven society is concerned. And he's not anything like the other designers we carry. Which is why GQ Magazine can't stop raving about him (see below).
Be sure to check out http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/ for loads of cool information about the brand, including the following:
"Naked & Famous Denim uses only the most unique and rare denim fabrics from Japan. The prestigious mill in Japan, from which we import all our fabric, is committed to producing only the best (and most expensive) denim in the world. Throughout each step in denim production (weaving, dyeing, finishing…) the mill uses a combination of old school and modern methods and practices. So much culture and history is poured into the fabric so that it can be appreciated by the denim purist.
We keep all our jeans raw and simple. No washes, no embroidery, no gimmicks… just the best fabric in the world combined with modern fits. We have eliminated these costly (and in our opinion unnecessary) after-effects, and have stripped down our jeans to the core essentials. Now true denimheads and newcomers alike can enjoy these special fabrics at a reasonable price."
So, boys, if you were looking for the perfect pair of plain but cool jeans to wear with everything from a suit jacket to a hooded sweatshirt, we have your answer. Nolita is one of the only places in Portland you can find them. So email nolitaportland@hotmail.com if you're into it.
