CdM One to watch from FWLA: exclusive interview with Gilles Bendenoun of Robin's Jeans


My favorite collection from the evening shows at FWLA Day 1 was Robins Jeans. I spoke to the marketing Director about their latest collection. The fun and stylish denim brand is designed and manufactured right here in Los Angeles. The Robins Jeans brand is all about style and the collection of denim looks included mens and womenswear. I loved the added sparkle on the jeans and their amazing jean jackets. These well designed pieces had an amazing fit and didn't look confining or stiff on the runway. I loved the Los Angeles look and mix of casual and dressy denim in this collection. According to Bendenoun Robins Jeans are made right here in downtown LA and they currently have 15 retail locations. I love discovering new boutiques and can't wait to check them out! Robins Jeans is breaking all the rules and not just with their edgy designs. When I asked about the trends from the runway collection Bendenoun explained that the designer always designs what he feels because the brand isn't subject to department store trends since they have their own stores. I could tell that the collection was full of creativity and loved the play on colors and styles. The brand is able to produce the collection and ship it to their stores easily since they are local one of the benefits of being LA made. The brand has a culture and large following around the country. Popular artist Fetty Wap is a customer of the brand and even sings about them in his song Remy Boyz 679. I would definitely wear this collection and can't wait to see more from this up and coming brand!
