Cameron Diaz wearing Corpus

Ms. Diaz is wearing a pair of denim by Corpus while in Europe promoting Shrek 3. I normally don't care for the denim by Corpus but I think these jeans are a great fit for Cameron. And with those sexy heels.. DELISH! The wash she has on is called the Alpha Grey Cracked Jeans and another great thing about Corpus jeans are that they are reasonable retailing at about $150.

Hey for those of you who don't already know. Chip & Pepper have finally open their new flagship store at the Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach, CA. The only one in all of California!!! It's a quaint chic-boutique that you must check out! Great summer fun styles for the men, ladies and even toddler's! Below is all their info!

Newport Beach
Fashion Island
235 Newport Center Dr.
Newport Beach, CA 92660
(949) 644-2447



*American Rag Fashion Island still carries TWO different washes in the women's denim bar that the Chip & Pepper store doesn't carry!*

I'm Audi!

Unfortunately, this will be my last post on here associating myself with American Rag Fashion Island as I have decided to quit for the summer. I will continue to post relevent fashion postings on here about new lines and new collections and all that good stuff, however this blog won't be focused solely on American Rag any longer. BUT!!! Before I leave, I would like to give you one last AR info on a ton of new women's apparel that we've received in the past couple weeks up until my final week which was on Saturday May 26, 2007.


For the Men, actually a lot of things were transferred. The only noticebly new items we have received are these goucho-looking sweat-shorts in black by Corpus, more polo's and tees from Trovata, also more polo's and shirts from Fred Perry. OH! I forgot the name of this new brand, I will post on here as soon as I find out, but also for men, there is a new line of tees and sweaters that are made from Organic Cotton, so for all you environmentally-conscious fellas out there, this line will be a great addition to your wardrobe this season, as they do come in fun vibrant bright colors!!! And it's reasonably priced at $45-$90 (I believe)... And a couple new washes in Insight denim came in and if you didn't already know, Insight denim is very affordable mostly selling for under $90!


The ladies on the other hand has had quite a bit of shipment:

More A.P.C. Madras plaid dresses that come in Blue and in Red. They are only $99!!! My personal favorite, however, is the red plaid dress.

Mike & Chris delivers a mini bubble jacket in Cream and I believe it's a little under $200 which very reasonable for this line and for the great style it brings. I have already seen a couple differnt celebrities sporting this cropped coat already in black! But I think the Cream is a great color for the summer!

NEW Da-Nang shorts and wide-legged pants ranging from $150-$200.

Silk Shorts and a cute knit boho-type tank both in black just in by Vanessa Bruno. Expect to hand over at least $190 for either of the two pieces, but I think it's worth it to look that cute and ZEXY! Especially the black knit tank.

Lots more fun tanks and tank dresses from LA Made, which only runs about $40-$75. Plus great stiped Tee-s and tank dresses that are great to pull over yourself coming to and from the beach to cover up after you've laid out for a fabulous tan.

Splendid has really impressed me with some of their new stuff. There's this new black buttoned sun tank dress that I am in love with and also a V-Neck Tunic-like dress also in black that's also pretty cute. I believe both dresses cost around $150. We also received more cute comfy tops and leggings and thermals that we all have come to expect from Splendid in Spring-appropriated colors and patterns.

Another line that I have come to enjoy seeing in our store is Aude. It's a mix between Splendid and James Perse. It's a simple Basic's line for Women that I have come to adore. We started just carrying fitted Tees and tanks, but we just got in these two thin striped tank tops one is with dark grey and white, and the other is a golden mustard and white.

Sweetees is another line we carried in the Fall that sold rather well also. Mainly dresses, but this time around, the dresses are shorter and a little bit more on the casual side. Again, it's great to throw on and off for a day at the beach or just to go run some errands but you still want to look somewhat presentable and cute! These cotton tank dresses come in blue and in white and will run you about $90.

From Sweetees, we also have Zoe Tees, which we now have in a blue-grey and cement striped tunic tee-shirt dress, and that same print is also on the swimsuit set that they sent us. It also come in black stripes as well! The tunic tee dress will run about $110. And the swimsuit is about $85.

Pulcini is yet another Basic's line for Women. The tees and tanks also come in solids and striped prints. The color schemes seems to be more of a pastel look like baby blue and light pink, etc... at least that's what it seems with what our buyer bought. There is a red tee-shirt in the line as well though. These soft and sensual feeling tops will cost you around $50-$75.

A LOT more bathing suits/swimsuits by Insight are now available, as well halter tunic dresses... all of there stuff are great bold and bright crazy, fun prints... I personally like the brashness of the prints, it for sure seems like something Nicole Richie would be sporting! And a lot of them are pretty reasonable costing only about $70-$90 for the set.

A long thin red and cream striped cardigan and a new blouse in by Lisa Gorman which I think is quite darling, although I'm always a sucker for cardigans! I believe the cream blouse is about $145, and the cardigan is about $150.

New denim washes and fits for 18th Amendment, Raven Denim and Paige are now in! Plus we got in two new denim lines: Small Town and Anlo! Both are in skinny fits only and are about $200.

AND FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!! More Trovata for Women. love, Love, LOVE! the new Trovata denim shorts, it also comes in denim overall shorts. A cute multi-colored hoodie sweatshirt and a khaki canvas-like bolero rounds out the new apparel we got in from Trovata. I am hoping, and am pretty sure, more will be sent in from this line very soon.



Keep checking back on this post as I will try to keep updating it with pics and more exact price info. Sorry there aren't any pictures attached to these labels.

Happy Memorial Day!!!

I hope everyone has a safe and fantabulous
holiday on this Memorial Day weekend!!!

-Cheers.

Amazing How Trends Spread...

Here is Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives fame in a pair of Rich & Skinny Jeans in the Leggy Gogo Grey wash at the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End premier last Saturday.

She's Rich and Skinny...

Lindsay Lohan is rich and skinny... and she wants you to know it! Here is Lindsay wearing a great pair of Rich & Skinny Sleak Denim in Grey, which I actually have and am in love with. This is a great pair of stretch denim that conforms to your body beautifully... Rich & Skinny jeans aren't your typical pair of Seven's or Citizen's so they won't shrink the way most denim would, for a more true-to-size fit. Not only are the fits amazing, but this denim line has one of the best colored denim collection that is hot this season. However, American Rag Fashion Island does not carry this line since I believe Neiman Marcus has a deal with them or something... BUT! The American Rag in Los Angeles does have a few different washes in stock, so please check out our La Brea location to see what they have. San Francisco AmRag may have it as well. This line also carries skirts, shorts, capris, boot cuts, straight legs, and flares... so no... they don't just have skinny's!!! Rich & Skinny jeans costs around $190-$225.

Life With Bird.

For those of you who have shopped at our store last season, Life With Bird was a devilishly flirty women's line that we carried that sold quite successfully and again, it is an Australian brand. I was sad when I didn't see any of their Spring apparel in our store because I when I was on their website checking out their latest collection, I thought that American Rag Fashion Island customers would really like it! So while I was working on Sunday, Bridget McCall (ie: Bird from Life With Bird) came in and shopped around and I mean I didn't know it was her until we started talking to each other and she confirmed that Ruthie, our women's buyer, had PLACED AN ORDER FOR THEIR SPRING COLLECTION! (I believe it's Spring, perhaps she ordered the Fall collection) So I will keep you updated as I find out more about what exactly we might be receiving! But do check out their stuff, it's fantastic!

Hello, Madras!

I couldn't talk about this season's trends without mentioning the "MADRAS" craze that's is making its rounds to a variety of retailers from J Crew and American Eagle Outfitters to Barney's Co-Op and of course, American Rag Fashion Island. We have an assortment of brands that cater to your Madras needs...

For the Women, we have a great simple classic line called Tailor Vintage. This New York based company has been shipping their contemporary sportswear to all the high-end upscale businesses like ARFI! Their shorts will run you from about $98-$120.

Below is a color swatch of the different patterns their Madras come in. We only carry the Key West Tea Dip and the Sand Bleach.


Madras is so big this season, reknown fashion lable, A.P.C. launched their own Madras line, which is even more price friendly than their already reasonably priced apparel. Below are some of the great new things we received in from their Madras line. This sun-dress below is my personal favorite from the Madras collection by A.P.C. It retails about $129. There's also a match handkerchief that would match this dress for about $30-$40 sold separately. Overall, this collections ranges from about $50-$220.

**There is a matching tote bag to match the top above
and/or the jacket below for about $60 sold separately**

*The floral blouse above is not from their Madras line, but new to our store*

And for the Men, we actually just received our Tailor Vintage (Men) shorts for men this past week. Again, we have the Key West Tea Dip, the Sand Bleach and (I believe) the Flamingo Acid. The men's shorts will run about $108-$125.



Also for the Men, we carry some great shirts and shorts by Engineered Garments. Now I must say that I personally like this line a lot. It's a sexy, yet stylishly classic brand. Below are some of the great stuff we have in from them this season. Prices range from $150-$200




Hey fellas, pair the Madras shirts with some fine quality premium denim also by Engineered Garments (see below). We only have a few sizes left in the wash below. I believe it is a Raw rinse. Engineered Garments' denim retails at about $230.

50% OFF SALE NOW!!!

ONLY AT AMERICAN RAG at FASHION ISLAND!!!

HURRY HURRY HURRY!

New Denim Alert!!!

Let's start with the Men...

HEY! Guess what? J Brand for Men is NOW AVAILABLE at American Rag Fashion Island in three different washes. Starting at $180.

New washes in Ksubi just in, including the rare Van Winkle Pipeleg Stretch Skinny w/ Button Fly, in a Washed White Steel Blue that looks mucho bueno! It is priced about $265. (see below)



Now for the Women...

Deener is BACK! We carried a generous collection of Deener's in the Fall of '06 but transferred them all during our winter sale. But we are fully stocked again with three brand new washes including a skinny leg with flap button back pockets! And if you've never tried on a pair of Deener's before, YOU SHOULD! They are incredibly soft made from the finest Italian and Japanese denim and you can feel good wearing them because they run a little bigger. So if you normally wear a 28 waist, I would recommend you try on a 27, or a 26 even! Now doesn't that sound good?! Deener is your NEW default denim! Deener's will run you around $173-$200, but in my opinion, it's well worth the comfort!

More Paige Premium Denim are finally in. We can't seem to keep Ms. Paige on our shelves lately. But a few more darker denim in a more straight to boot cut fits to please all you ladies out there who aren't quite ready to venture into the trendy Flares and Bell Bottoms that are in this season. And I agree, if not worn properly by the right person, this look can be tragic! So stay safe with the straight/boot cuts! And Ms. Paige has got 'em! Prices vary between washes from about $170-$220.

What else have we got?? Oh, that's right, more 18th Amendment denim. A Mischa Barton favorite. This is denim line that is an ode to the classic American roaring 1920's. Simple and sophisticated. It's a vintage look and feel without being used... (see below)


Just received some Ksubi in the Low Rise Skinny Pins Mikey Blue's priced at $275. Also available in a High-Waist fit.

Australian Fashion Week!

If you hadn't noticed, our women's buyer is quite fond of designers from down under. Lover, Ksubi, Marnie Skillings, Cohen et Sabine, Kirrily Johnston, Gorman, Shakuhachi, Anna & Boy, Something Else, Mimco, Deborah Sweeney, Alice McCall, etc, etc... With the Australian Fashion Week just ending yesterday and our buyer currently on a buying trip there, you can be expecting a lot more apparel from these desingers, among others. For more details about this event, please click below.

Australian Fashion Week

What is She Wearing?

First off I have to say that I love Courtney Cox-Arquette. She is flawless and I really think her style is stunningly and playfully elegant, I don't know if that makes sense... Some may say boring, but I'm not too adventurous myself in my fashion statements considering my color schemes tend to be grey, black, navy, and white with greens and reds mixed in here and there for some color. Below the former Friends star is wearing what I believe to be an A.P.C cardigan. Want the entire look? Pair it with some black slacks by Raven which we also have in stock with one of the assorted vintage white blouses we carry in our vintage collection . If I'm not mistaken, the A.P.C cardigan runs about $227, the slacks by Raven are about $220, and a vintage white blouse can run anywhere from $19.95-39.95. I'll get all the exact details in asap.

Unfortunately American Rag does not carry any of these titles, BUT we do have a HUGE CD/DVD collection! And the music and movies are eclectic and are rare finds, so definitely come by our store and check out all of our titles in stock.

More denim shorts...

Hey all, I recently posted a blog about denim shorts and how I liked the whole, "pockets sticking out of the shorts" like what Mischa Barton was wearing... Well, here we have La Lohan lounging with her pal DJ Samantha Ronson, with the same concept, except she's wearing grey denim shorts which I haven't seen too, too much of lately, and variety is a good thing...for the most part. But I love, Love, LOVE the grey wash on these shorts Lindsay's wearing. They look like a pair of Ksubi's that she cut up into shorts. If you didn't already know, Ksubi is a master at perfecting the grey wash on their denim! I think everyone should own a pair... well, everyone slim, since Ksubi's denim line tends to run on the slimmer side. Even for the men's it can be pretty snugged! Although the Dee Dee's for men and the Scooter's for women are a bit more of a comfortable fit. American Rag Fashion Island is proud to be one of the only few retailers in California with a HUGE stock of Ksubi denim. More than twenty styles and washes to be exact!

** Thanks to a tip on Superfutre, the shorts Lindsay's wearing are by Ksubi and they're called the Albercurque in Worn Grey and it retails for about $220. Although we don't carry it in Worn Grey we do have the Albercurque in Black in stock for only $150, but the Worn Grey's may be sold on ebay, so you guys could try there. Either ebay or ebay Australia. Thanks Louce!**

En Route...

Hey ladies, I just read the latest women's buying report and there are a few new things to expect in the next coming weeks.

More bikini's from Insight are on the way, we only have one two-piece set in right now. It's actually pretty cute and colorful, definitely something the fellas will notice!

I'm excited to announce that American Rag Fashion Island will be receiving a new casual-wear line, Saint Grace. I had came across their line a while back and had made a request for our buyer to look into it and whether it was my request or she already knew about the line, either way we are getting in a shipment very soon. I had thought when I saw the collection was how well it would sell at our store because of how cute and simple it was and plus it was reasonably priced. which in my book is always a great combo! I would say it's a mix between Splendid/C&C and Clu. A great line in my opinion and I can't wait to see what we get.

We'll also be getting more apparel from French designer Vanessa Bruno, another women's line that sold very well at our Fashion Island store last season. We have a couple new Spring items in already from this line, but I'm excited to see more!

For all my chicas trying to get themselves a pair of high-waisted denim shorts like our celebs below, the Alice McCall Hi-Waist Denim shorts are being shipped as we speak so sit tight and keep calling in to see when it arrives because I am thinking this trend will stay through the Summer and you're gonna want a sexy pair of your own to strut in! This is what I believe will be sent in, as it's the only denim shorts I could find on Alice McCall's site this season and it is one hot sexy pair if I do say so myself:

Image Source

Other celebs in various other denim shorts:

Mischa Barton being very busy-busy in her barely there denim shorts exposing her pockets. Which I personally think is a hot look. The fit and rise complements her well, which is a rare thing for the fired "O.C" actress.

Here's Ashley Olsen in what appears to be a vintage pair of denim shorts which I'd prefer over Mischa's. AR has a variety of denim shorts in all sorts of colorful washes in our vintage section at our store, so you too can have this sexy classic vintage look. And hey, you'll pay less, AND you'll be very up-to-date with the trend! Plus, with vintage, you can expect the rise to already be a little bit higher anyway.

Keira Knightley is making a bold fashion statement pairing her denim shorts with leggings, which I feel defeats the whole purpose of wearing shorts, but a part of me actually likes this get-up, so I applaude Ms. Knightley. There is a pair of Diesel denim shorts at the store that look very close to what she's wearing. If anything, I think our Diesel denim shorts are cuter! But the style is pretty much the same. I believe we only have a few sizes left as it came in a couple months ago.

NEW Designer Alert!!!

As a Vietnamese American, I was pleased to come across a Vietnamese designer showcasing her talents at last year's New York Fashion Week. I am hoping we'll eventually carry her stuff at our store, but until then check out this article below all about this up-and-coming new designer.

"Thuy Launches Designer Women's Clothing Line and Opens Showroom

New fashion line Thuy launches at New York Fashion Week with the showroom exhibition of its Fall 2007 Collection. Lead designer Thuy Diep comes full circle from her days as a child learning to sew in her parent's tailoring school, to Parson School of Design graduation through diverse fashion industry work, to deliver casual chic designer clothing with understated romantic sophistication.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 31, 2007 -- Thuy is pleased to announce the launch of its Fall 2007 designer women's ready-to-wear clothing line. The exhibition of the collection to be held on Saturday February 3rd at 5 p.m., will take place at the Thuy Showroom, located at 114 W. Houston, Suite 3, New York, NY. The presentation will also mark the opening of the Thuy Showroom, a tranquil and inspirational space dedicated to the display of Thuy's clothing.

The new line is a true reflection of its designer, Thuy Diep. Born to parents who taught at and operated a tailoring school in her native Vietnam, and surrounded by an extended family spanning virtually all aspects of the fashion world, Diep began honing her skills -- and a love for well-crafted clothes -- at an early age. A Parsons School of Design graduate, Thuy's career in the fashion industry has spanned a wide variety of positions, from pattern making to designing. With the launch of her self-named label, Diep brings her life's influences to realization in her clothing.

"My clothing mixes casual chic with understated romantic sophistication," describes Diep, whose designs highlight form, craftsmanship and subtle -- yet dramatic -- details. Her creations reflect a woman of beauty and intellect, one with an artistic and forever-youthful soul.

For information on the exhibition or to schedule an appointment for the Thuy Showroom: Phone: 646-429-9521.

Founded in 2006, Thuy is a designer women's ready-to-wear clothing line -- and dedicated showroom -- based in the SoHo-area of New York City."
