Wieden and Kennedy, a global advertising powerhouse, held a reception for the online art auction, W+K=MAKE, benefiting DenimID’s favorite charity, Room to Read. That night and since, the response has been great. Over $6,000 has been raised and a few more pieces are still available. Some more photos were sent from W&K from the reception and are posted below. BTW…99% of the people were wearing DENIM!

All purchases of artwork can be made online at www.wkmake.com beginning May 7, 2009-May 31, 2009. One hundred percent of sales proceeds goes to San Francisco–based Room to Read, an organization that provides education in developing countries by establishing libraries, creating local-language children’s literature, constructing schools and providing education to girls.

“Welcome to our global art show! The show features artwork from employees across all disciplines and represents all of our global offices including Amsterdam, Delhi, London, New York, Portland, Shanghai and Tokyo. In keeping with W+K’s dedication to supporting charities that provide educational opportunities, all proceeds from the show will benefit Room to Read.” www.wkmake.com

Hello Denim lovers, welcome to Spring!

“Denim has become one of the most phenomenal items out there. It is used to make what is probably the best selling item in the world of clothing: jeans.” says MATHEW DOMINGUEZ, CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST of asurampage.com in his article Denim good for most uses.

So what is hot right now? Well, according to Mathew, “It is now spring, which means that it’s time to bring out the miniskirts ladies. Well, I am sure that most guys will enjoy that too, but that is beside the point. So long as you don’t look like you belong on the corner somewhere, you should be OK. By this, I mean make sure they are not too short.”

“Skinny jeans are still hot right now and probably will be for a while. One reason that these jeans are still flying off the racks is because they tend to slim down the legs as well as elongate them just a little. The hottest pairs right now are adorned with zippers at the ankles or anywhere else. They do not have to be super skinny though. If you are not comfortable with the tightness that comes with some pairs, you can always opt for a straight leg jean. They are just as slimming but happen to be more comfortable.f the skinny jean trend is not exactly something that you will be following anytime soon, then you are in luck because wide leg denim trousers are back in. It is something that is a little different and that we have not seen in a while and, let’s face it, they are definitely more forgiving. Just be sure that they look sophisticated and not sloppy. ” Mathew continues.

Mathew goes on to say, “Since the weather is warming up, it is definitely time for shorts again. But the whole Daisy Duke phase is over. This season, shorts that hit just above the knee are back in. They are the perfect choice for those girls who are a little more modest, and they look oh-so chic. And the best thing is that any type of shoes, from heels to sneakers, works with this style.”

“So when it comes to denim, a lot of us just can’t help this addiction. We are always looking for the right pair of jeans and once we find them, we still want more. Denim has been around for a while though, and it does not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. I mean, there are always new styles of jeans that are coming out and every spring, skirts and shorts begin to fly off the racks. So don’t be afraid to indulge because the right pair of jeans, shorts, or even the right skirt will always be in style.” Mathew sums it up nicely.
