California Denim Collections: The HUDSON JEANS Spring 2014 Preview Revives Vintage Designs

Californian denim label HUDSON JEANS took a trip to Toronto's ultra-chic Shangri-La Hotel to host a viewing of its Spring 2014 collection. THE BRUNETTES had the privilege of checking out the label's latest line of vintage-themed jeans that varied from flared, distressed, and embossed styles. Made for both men and women, the pieces embodied the brand's effortless, rocker aesthetic.

With the launch of its Zine's NO.1 issue, HUDSON had its guests tweeting #LETYOURSELFGO: a hashtag that aims to inspire one to live their dreams and to be real while looking their best.  

After snacking on some delicious refreshments, THE BRUNETTES posed with HUDSON's in-house models and captured some of their favourite looks from the 70s-inspired collection. The dynamic collection featured unexpected elements like raw hemlines, athletic silhouettes, and tattooed textile prints that left us coveting more than one of the unique pairs.

Triarchy Spring/Summer 2013

We’ve all witnessed from a plethora of Calvin Klein billboards over the years how important a toned, nubile, and half-naked body is when it comes to the marketing of a fresh pair of jeans. Perhaps, this is what Triarchy had in mind with its World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week runway presentation of its upcoming Spring/Summer designer denim line.

THE BRUNETTES had front-row seats to what was undoubtedly the hottest show of the season and watched as semi-dressed models showed off their goods—and the label's wares—to an adoring audience. 

 

  

The Vancouver-based line was inspired by a one-night stand in St. Tropez and seemingly by shipwrecked castaways, given the rope props that many of the models either carried or wore as impromptu tops, and featured denim in many different washes and colors. 

 

 

The diverse range of denims featured studded embellishments, tie-dyed effects, metallic foils, and—our personal favorites—jeans created with a dip-dyed process for a hip and alluring ombré look.
