We know what you’re thinking. “Oh, wow! Another denim
line.” Can you blame us? After all, we live in the designer
jean capital of America, and the right pair of jeans just makes
everything come together so effortlessly. We marvel at all the great
things people are doing with that simple and sturdy fabric, elevating
it to the point where spending $150+ is totally acceptable.
That being said, we could not pass up the opportunity to get a closer
look at New York-based Bishop Of Seventh,
which has everything you could want in premium denim—great
fabric, imaginative stitching, eye-catching uses of hardware and
tailoring. And yes, they are up on all the latest denim trends—like
the skinnier silhouettes. However, it’s their trouser offerings
that make them stand out. They have made work-appropriate clothing
for women fun again with the fabrics you need for the 9-to-5 —
pinstripes, tweeds, plaids
and herringbones — executed
in fits that effortlessly flow right into after-work cocktail parties
and date nights.
These worship-worthy pants and the denims are the product of creative
minds Chachi Prasad (a veteran
of stints at John Varvatos, Calvin
Klein and Oscar De La Renta)
and Karam Kim (late of Michael
Kors, Donna Karan and TSE).
With resumes like that, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that
they can come up with something that-literally-fits the lifestyle
of the young professional woman.
Celebrities who have confessed their fashion needs to the Bishop
includeCourtney Cox, Rosario Dawson,
Kelly Ripa, Mary J. Blige and Anjelica
Houston. Southern California stores carrying Bishop of
Seventh include Fred Segal Fun in Santa Monica,
Diani in Santa Barbara, Let's Go
and Maude Carrin in LA, Rouge
in Beverly Hills, The Denim Bar in Long beach,
Nordstom in Savvy.
This week, 2 lucky winners will win
a pair of Bishop Pants.
