Trend alert: denim blue

This eighties revival seems to only be gaining momentum. The latest? The once dreaded double denim. This cool, laid-back look is cropping up everywhere from catwalks to home designer collections.

This trend was most visible was in Ralph Lauren's spring/summer collection for 2010 (pictured top) with models featured in boyfriend jeans and faded overalls. But you can also see it in Stella McCartney's retro denim heels (left) and Louis Vuitton's Monogram Denim bag (right).

In homewares, you can start with baby-steps by injecting a dash of denim with these Denim storage bags from Next or even recycled denim waistbands turned cushions from deco-blue designs.

Go a little more daring with this striking Denim tableware collection (left) from Soendergaard or these gorgeous Ceramic Ottoman side tables (right) designed by Paolo Navone for Gervasoni.

For the real denim lovers, you can go the whole hog and transform your living room into a haven of denim with these covers in Light Denim Blue (top left) paired with these pixilated denim blooms (bottom right) along with a slightly nautical Static Stripe- Light Denim Blue (top right).

Top tip: The key to a successful double denim look (read: to avoid looking like Bryan Adams in the 80s!) is to pair different shades and washes of denim together.

I love the demin storage bags!
But concerning fashion,I'll kindly say:
thank's but....no thank's!
One jean item per outfit is more than enough!

I do love pops of jean in decoration though.
There is a jean closet and a few pillows living with us...maybe I'll link them in the facebook page.

Best regards
Be well
and a lovely new week and month : )

I was at a classic couples' dinner in Vasastan yesterday, and the very trendy, cool, AD at H&M Rowells, hostess was wearing double denim! So yes, it's hot :)

won't catch me dead in it though... I hope...

I know what you mean about dreading the double denim! Maybe because I was there the last time it was in fashion? Id love to see your denim interiors though so definitely post them on FB. Looking forward to it [Christie]

So... when is Bemz providing us with some real denim fabric? I'm just waiting for it to come!!! Pleeeease!

[Christie]

Hi Berit! I know, I know! You are not the first to ask. Any requests are best put in writing to our customerservice @bemz .com as they tally them up and pass them on to our product development team. From what I understand, a real denim fabric as you say, is harder than you might think as the indigo dye they use to color real denim comes off from fabric onto clothes which leaves us in a bit of a dilemma BUT we are looking into it! Stay tuned Berit, and sign up for newsletter alerts on bemz.com so you be among the first to know if denim is launched.
