Double down and do double denim right! by Emma Riemersma

I loved leading the Styling and creative direction for the Denim feature and Cover Story of SALife Magazines August Issue. captured by Haley Renee.

A classic look.

“Break up your double Denim with White or Ivory for a classic look.”

Most people find it quite confusing when it comes to piecing denim x2 together.

Unfortunately one of my hero’s believes NO style icon should wear denim, but this time Queen Anna Wintour, you might be wrong! No disrespect! I mean.. James Dean, Elvis, Bridgitte Bardot, Lauren Hutton, Jane Fonda, Jane Birkin…. the list goes on!

The Cover is a classic look for all ages. Great for the tall and slim and very flattering for women with curves, good layering suits most body shapes and what’s not to love about a bespoke hat thanks to incredible Adelaide Milliner Sylvy Earl.

In this shot I have gone for similar light shades of denim (jeans from seed and Shirt is Levi’s from Trims), broken up by an Ivory body suit and timeless Trench for Karen Millen. The taupe mules for Jo mercer give a beautiful tonal finnish.

A youthful touch.

For a youthful play on Double Denim add a Vintage T found at my favourite “Midwest Trader” for American Vintage clothing.

Go for Dark denim mixed with Mid Denim.

This look works so well because it’s broken up by the wool trim and the Navy shirt from Lumiere Collective. Jeans and Jacket are Levi’s from Trims. Add detail and personality by accessorising with a bold earring, these are from Days of August @ Brick and Mortar Creative.
