I N TO T H E S U N Our summer is sun-faded blue Photography Benjamin Alexander Huseby
This season my focus is on the boyfriend, with the launch of two new slimmed down silhouettes: the Phoebe Slim and the Tomboy. Laidback with just the right amount of slouch, they’re super-easy to wear and a great alternative to the skinny jean.

M i H BODYCON JEANS ARE DEVELOPED TO FIT AND FEEL LIKE YOUR PERFECT JEANS. SOFT TO THE TOUCH BUT STRONG ON THE BODY, THEY PROVIDE THE MOST SLIMMING SILHOUETTE YET.
MAKE THEM YOUR PERFECT JEANS We’ve done everything possible to make the Bodycon the most flattering jean of its kind. It starts with the innovative fabric construction: a tight coil of stretch fibres surrounds traditional cotton yarn, giving the denim incredible power as it is stretched. The greater the pull on the fabric the more it rebounds, simultaneously holding curves in and smoothing them out, for a super-slimming effect. We’ve combined this fabric technology with unique jean
engineering to give a sleek, streamlined shape: from the removal of the front pockets to reduce bulk, to altering the waistband for a cleaner line through the waist. Gone is the back ’yoke’ seam to add shape and allow the bum to ’lift’, replaced with darts to create a curve that starts at the top of the jeans. The combination of our innovative fabric technology and unique jean engineering makes the Bodycon Jean the most flattering pair you will ever wear - a revolution in denim.

Look for jeans that suit your figure, not the current trends, and think about what will best fit your lifestyle. The ideal pair of jeans will easily fit in your wardrobe, and make you feel great every time you wear them.
