Last week Elle Magazine editor Jade Frampton and G-Star invited FashionIndie to host their Women’s Night in NYC along with fellow digeratis Jessica Conaster from Denimology, Lois Sakany from High Snobette, Wendy Lam from Nitrolicious and Danielle Rinaldi from Stylesight. Clad in this super chic knit poncho and killer leather skinnies from the G-Star fall collection I (along with 150 super stylish women) was pampered from top to toe with Warren Tricomi blowouts, Bobbi Brown makeovers, and Sally Hansen denim manicures while shopping the night away.

Here’s our running list of denim brands that we love, based on quality, fit, wash variety, and overall fashion-ness:
1. Naked and Famous- Rare and unique fabrics from Japan, high quality and satire play on our celebrity obsessed culture. Win.
2. April 77- Known for their attitude and underground influence, not wallet-breaking price. Made in France.
3. Cheap Monday- Tons of crazy prints and colored washes. Made in Sweden.
4. Replay-Great skinny and ‘boyfriend’ style, in a bunch of interesting washes. Made in Italy.
5. Acne- A ton of variety in mens’ fits, and repeat winner of ‘Designer of the Year’ by Swedish Elle. Made in Sweden.
6. K(T)subi- Formerly Tsubi, currently Ksubi, this brand invented themselves based on fit, and has continued to outfit surfers in super, super jeans ever since. Made in Australia.
7. Nudie- Made from the best Italian, Turkish, American, and Japanese qualities using the best techniques. Made in Italy, with the only con being they don’t have a women’s line (yet?).
8. Diesel- I know people that swear by Diesel, mostly skinny guys who can never find sizes small enough for their 26 inch waists and still long enough for their 6’0 tall frames. Diesel has always been known for their high-quality and long lasting denim. I may be impartial because I love everything Diesel makes, not just their jeans. Made in Italy.
9. Levis- After coming out with the 510 and 511, Levis seemed to have redeemed themselves as every hipster and musician’s best friend. Made in the US!
10. G Star- ‘Raw’ denim. Prides themselves in being about nothing more than the product itself, keeping it fashionable and well-fit. Made in the Netherlands.
