Denim Design Lab @ American Rag Cie – Window

For the launch of DDL at American Rag’s World Denim Bar in LA, we did up one of the windows right…. It was rough to get good photos due to some serious glare on the windows, but thought we would share some with you nonetheless.  In addition, we were able to merchandise some key real estate inside the WDB and included some pics of these areas as well.  Be sure to stop by American Rag this month and check us out (160 S. La Brea, Los Angeles) .

Thanks to Jeff Park from “eskuché” (http://www.eskucheme.com) for all his help in setting everything up!

2008 Golden Globe Awards – “Secret Room” Celebrity Gifting Event

Although the Writers Guild strike derailed the traditional on air extravaganza for the 2008 Golden Globe Awards, the celebrity gifting suites still managed to attract a few up and coming celebrities interested in getting their hands on the latest and greatest.

Denim Design Lab was the official denim sponsor for the Secret Room gifting event in Brentwood, CA in honor of the 2008 Golden Globe Awards. Limited edition Denim Design Lab LE books and DDL vintage T’s were on offer to the celebrities and major press, and for the lucky nominees of the GG’s, Denim Design Lab pulled forward some of its best men’s and women’s Fall 2008 premium denim styles and crafted them into custom models for the lucky few.

This custom premium denim opportunity was made possible due to a collaboration with Cone Denim of North Carolina and the Blue River Denim Laundry from Los Angeles, CA. Denim Design Lab utilized some amazing fabrics from Cone for this program, including organic selvage denim, “Black Seed” pima cotton denim and Cone’s new patent pending S Gene stretch denim to create one-of-a-kind premium vintage inspired jeans.

Below are just a few of the lucky celebs that stopped by to pay us a visit….

Denim Design Lab – 2007 ESPY Style Suite

Be on the look out for DDL Denim off the court, field, track and on the “Red Carpet” in the coming months… Denim Design Lab recently participated in the ESPY Style Suites, an exclusive event in association with the 2007 ESPY Awards.

The world’s best athletes, along with upcoming actors, actresses and “taste makers” came through the ESPY Style Suites held at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles to partake in one-of-a-kind gifts and services.

Denim Design Lab “LE” books were on offer to the “A-List” talent, but what really got the crowd going was the one time opportunity to have a custom made pair of DDL Denim made to measure and finished to their taste. In a collaboration with Cone Denim of North Carolina, Blue River Denim Laundry and Blue Jade, Inc. from Los Angeles, Denim Design Lab utilized organic selvage denim as the raw canvas to start with to create a truly premium pair of vintage inspired jeans.

Below are just a few of the lucky 100+ celebs that will soon be sporting their custom made Denim Design Lab jeans….
