She’s the pint sized fashion power house who’s become one of the most sought after celebs for style inspiration. She’s always on the best dressed list and is all over the celebrity blogs.
Nation Ltd. by Jen Menchaca
Jen’s rise to fashion designer is a somewhat unlikely story. In fact, her father always wanted her to follow in his footsteps and become an engineer for NASA but Jen never had the passion for this and she wasn’t exactly feelin’ the whole spacesuit thing.
After earning a B.S. in Advertising from U.T. she moved to NYC and landed a job as a cocktail waitress. A few years later, Jen decided to relocate to LA where she found herself working for David E. Kelly productions on the off beat dramedy, Ally McBeal.
Jen was always a fan of her father’s white v-necks because they were so soft and comfy. However, the pit stains and yellowing could be a bit distracting and thus made them unwearable in public. This is what inspired her to create her own version of the perfect, worn in men’s inspired t-shirt. People loved it and it quickly became a side business for Jen. She juggled both careers for some time but before long Nation Ltd. got so big that it became her full time business. With so many celeb fans of the brand, it’d probably be easier to name who hasn’t been spotted in Jen’s designs rather than who has. What began as a love of her Dad’s old t-shirts, blossomed into quite a cult following.
These days her line includes dresses, tunics and of course, t-shirts. Jen’s not stopping there though, look for leggings due out this Summer!
Although Jen didn’t exactly follow in her Dad’s footsteps, something tells he’s pretty proud of her.
7 For All Mankind Ginger
When a company practically invents the Premium Denim market, as 7 For All Mankind did in 2000, no one expects them to maintain that market lead forever. In any new trend, a crowd of usurpers will gravitate towards the leader to siphon off marketshare and offer up similar designs and pricing in hopes to steal the crown away for a season or two.

The fashionistas of print and their gossip-rag celebrity counterparts will constantly seek out newer brandnames and fresher labels in order to ride on the cusp of an ever-thrashing wave of emerging designers. The natural order of a trendy market dictates that the goose in front must eventually slide to the back of the formation in order to give the next bird in line some time at the lead.
Over the past 9 years, the Premium Denim market has become crowded and Seven has expanded into menswear, tops, accessories and *insert groan* a line of premium denim for children. Even though they are growing into other markets, they haven’t lost their roots and continue to churning out quality denim in fresh styles and perfect fits.
Last year they dropped the Ginger flare leg jeans and slapped them right onto some prime Hollywood asses. We picked up a pair and fell in love with the fit and feel.
The good news for you? 7 for all Mankind is busy pushing out their line for 2009, so if you hurry, you can pick up a pair of Gingers for almost half off.
