Called the Immortal, the 100 percent cotton jean incorporates many in-demand Y2K-inspired details including a loose fit, low rise and dirty wash.

The jean combines slit slide pockets with flap back pockets with snap closure. Seam details frame the legs. Zig-zag stitching around the waist and a red leather back patch are other distinguishing details.

The brand said each jean has been individually washed creating one-of-a-kind garments. The Immortal is available in sizes XXS-XL and retails for $189.

Frame

Sleek silhouettes in red and brand favorites adorned with details are part of Frame’s Lunar New Year collection. The premium lifestyle brand offers a mix of denim and loungewear for the occasion.

Denim highlights include Frame’s bestselling Le Crop Mini Boot jean made with stretch cotton-modal denim and finished in a red chrome coating, a washed red legging with button details at the ankle and the 1978 jean, a red high-rise wide-leg jean with an ultra-long inseam. Frame’s oversized jean jacket is also available in a red acid wash.

A line of black sweats—shorts, pants, shirt and long hoodie—have small golden embroidered dragon. Subtle gold accents on the seams decorate Frame’s cashmere long-sleeve top, sweater and cardigan.

The collection retails for $178- $698.

Naked & Famous

Canadian denim Naked & Famous released Tried & True Selvedge, a jean made with 12.5 oz. Japanese selvedge denim geared toward fans of classic jeans.

Dyed with natural indigo, the 100 percent cotton fabric has a unique texture achieved by varying indigo hues that create an elevated look. “This effect comes from the use of short slub irregular yarns—not thick enough to give a three-dimensional texture but varying enough for the indigo to absorb at different rates, which will highlight the vertical fading patterns over time,” the brand stated.

Subtle neps throughout the fabric add to its old-school look. The fabric also boasts red and white and white and blue selvedge ID lines on either hem.

Tried & True Selvedge is available in four fits: super guy, weird guy, true guy and easy guy. Each style, retailing for $162, is finished with custom silver metallic hardware and a 5 oz. vegetable-tanned leather patch that’s meant to age and develop a dark brown patina with the jeans.

Ganni

Ganni dropped its Spring/Summer 2024 collection that includes denim fabrics comprised of organic cotton and viscose made with Circulose.

Highlights include a denim maxi dress and fitted blazer with seaming details, a leopard-print maxi skirt, cropped and relaxed jeans and drop-waist dress, and wide-leg cargo jeans. A relaxed jean and Bermuda short features a mid-blue stone wash and Ganni logo patches.

The stretch Iry jeans nod to the ’70s with a rinse wash. The Denim Rose midi dress and mix skirt both feature a stitch rose artwork.

In addition to denim, the brand bowed accessories made with Oleatex, a leather alternative derived from olive oil production waste and sustainable eyewear made in partnership with Ace & Tate. The frames are crafted from recycled ecetate and Acetate Renew Bio, comprised of 28 percent certified recycled contents and 72 percent bio-based materials. The material replaces fossil-fuel derived acetic Anhydride materials.
