Sample Sale Report: Current/Elliott, Joie, Equipment
Last night I had the opportunity to stop by the Joie, Equipment and Current Elliot Sample Sale for the VIP night. What I learned was that you can find jeans for women from Current/Elliott from size 23-32 in a multitude of patterns, colors and textures. However if you are looking for Joie or Equipment merchandise you will be out of luck if you are looking for anything other than a size small. When going to the sale, please note that you'll have to check in your bag and your coat but the guys are fast and you can get through that process rather quickly. The fitting rooms on the other hand can get very busy and you'll have to most likely be prepared to wait in line. I believe there is a 5 item limit per person so the line moves.
For Equipment as you can imagine, although there are a few other items it's all about tops, tops, tops! If you are looking for signature silk blouses those were few in proportion to cotton wovens although there were more silk versions in the sleeveless section. There is just about every color of the rainbow available and some prints that are super fun while others look a bit dated. At $50 a pop it is a fraction of what they cost at retail. As I mentioned earlier, just about everything is a size Small. There was a silk cat print that I thought was quite fun and the landscape toile that I thought would make a great addition to any wardrobe.
Here are the rest of the prices.
PJ Pants $25
Shorts $30
Pants $35
Tops $50
Sweaters/Dresses/Rompers $75
Leather/PJ Robes / PJ Sets $100
For Joie there was a small selection of fur coats and vests which are priced great for $150 a pop. There weren't many pieces however, just a mongolian lamb jacket in cream, a vest in cream as well as grey. Leather skirts and jackets were also marked as $150.
I also liked the graphic cardigan priced to sell at $25! There was a very Great Gatsby-esque skirt with beading for $60. The silk dress with the great motorcycle print above is from Equipment and was $75.
Joie Soft Price List:
Tanks $20
Shorts/Skirts $25
Sweaters/Sweatshirts/Tops $25
Rompers $30
Dresses/Jackets $35
Jumpers/Pants $35
Accessories were very well priced but there were not very many items. Sandals are $36 and sizes seemed to range from 7-10 for these shoes. My particular favorite piece was the colored block booties in Navy/Tan but I only saw 8 1/2-10 1/2 in these. The all black suede/leather bootie had one lonely pair of size 5 but the right foot was too tight for me, otherwise I would've snagged them for $50. There were also a few color block totes and small leather bags but none of them really caught my eye.
Accessories & Footwear:
Sandals $36
Booties $50
Small Leather Bags $56
Heels $60
Handbags $96
Large Leather Bags $110
Last but not least let's talk Current/Elliott. There were rose patterned jeans, floral patterned jeans, metallic jeans, coated jeans, snake print jeans, lace print jeans and the list continues on and on in size 23-32 with a good selection in each category. You have to be careful though because some pairs have fabric irregularities that are marked with red tape. Check your merchandise carefully but at $41 per pair of jean that normally goes in the $200+ category, it is a great price.
Here is the full Current/Elliott Price list:
Tops $30
Pants/Jeans $41
Shorts/Skirts/Vests $35
Jackets/Rompers $45
Sample Pants $50
Sweaters $50
Leather $150
Overall some great merch at this sale for a great price as long as the size is right for you. If you're in need of jeans - the price is right and sizing is available. Otherwise if you are a Small, this is your sale. Some of the merchandise looks a bit dated but there are definitely some fun things to find.

Interview: Rich & Skinny Designer Joie Rucker
So I was super excited when I had the chance to catch up with Joie Rucker, denim designer extraordinaire who is now working with Michael Glaser on the Rich & Skinny line. Between the two of them they have over 50 years of experience working in denim...so serious Cred!!! Her jeans are available for purchase on the Rich & Skinny Website, Revolve Clothing and Nordstrom.com.
Joie tells us about her "secret" denim care trick and what types of jeans work best for curvy women, her design philosophy and what's in work for Fall 2009. Plus we have Fall 2009 preview images from the Rich & Skinny lookbook! Enjoy :)
xoxo
SRC: Was it a difficult to leave Joie, the namesake company you founded?
Joie Rucker : Yes- it was very difficult and no bueno. However, we all have lessons in life and that was one of mine.
However, Serge Azria, the current owner of Joie Jeans, has done a good job with the brand.
I am happy to see that he has continued the "Joie" vibe and been successful with it.
JR: Whenever I am designing, my primary focus is how my customers will look and feel in the clothes. I want them to feel "rich and skinny"... Another not-so-controversial way of saying it, would be that I want them to feel the luxury of the garments in terms of quality and I want the garment to compliment their shape- no matter what the size or curves.
SRC: I love your philosophy that people should wear the jeans that they feel most comfortable in; it’s not a matter of just following the trends. Do you have any tips for cuts that our readers should buy to flatter their different body types? Ie. curvy, boyish figure, shorter ladies etc?
JR: Yes, I hate seeing "fashion victims" (people that wear something only because of trend).
Trends are great and fun, but not every trend works for every person.
There are general rules of proportion that apply to different body types, i.e.. curvy bodies look better in slightly higher waisted boot cut jeans than in skinnies because the boot leg will balance the hip curve in the eye of the observer.
A higher waist will accentuate the positive curve above the hip.
That said, Curvy women can look good in the right skinny, it all comes down to fit.
Fit in a jean is everything and I pride myself in making fits that can compensate for figure "flaws" and allow more women to wear various style options and still look good.
JR: If I told you and would have to kill you :)!
SRC: Do you remember the moment that you first fell in love with denim?
JR: I first fell in love with denim when I bought and started wearing my shrink-to-fit button fly red tab 501 Levis jeans (this was before "premium" or E). As they started to wear in, each rip, tear and scuff became a memory and the jeans started to take on the feel of being a diary of my life. I know, sounds strange, but the magic and allure of indigo is thousands of years old.
I'm just one of the latest indigo "kooks" and my love affair continues...
JR: All's Fair... except I really hate it when people brag about buying a pair of jeans cheap and I look at the quality of the jean and where they were made and it's not the USA.
People don't realize that when they brag about a good price, there's a reason, either the quality, the treatment of the workers, or the designs are compromised. To a trained eye, you can see them coming down the block, but your average customer won't know the difference until they have owned the jean for a while and it starts falling apart. I try to make jeans that will someday be bought in second hand boutiques, I want our jeans to last...All of our denim is made in Los Angeles.
JR: The best way to keep denim looking great and if you are a denim aficionado, build the best broken-in finish, is not wash them as much as possible.
One way to keep from having to wash is to put the jean in a freezer bag and freeze for a few hours. The freezing process kills any bacteria that can cause odor, however it won't help remove dirt or stains.
If you must wash, cold water with the least amount of detergent is best. Low heat dryer if necessary.
But don't make yourself crazy...nothing is "wrong" with washing when needed...
JR: I love the neons too- especially neon pink which we did as a special color for Intermix storeas in NYC.
We also have some amazing "destroyed" finishes that are fun for summer and my favorite wash for Fall is our "Mended Heart" wash in my Skinny Boyfriend fit. Mended heart is a vintage wash and I added small details of iron-on patches over small holes. I love it and think it looks very authentic.
JR: I have sooo many!!! Aside from being a surfer and a read-a-holic... it's Shoes and Lingerie - just like every other girl!
SRC: What are three things you can’t live without?
JR: Things? Ok- My Wayne Rich 9'6" tri-fin (long board), my hanky panky's and my grandmother's cowboy boots! I know, strange combo...
JR: I love the men's line and it's still just developing... we have a small fan base building. We have kept the distribution very limited but the need for great fitting, comfortable Men's denim is definitely there. We have some really great fits and finishes and I have been getting really good feedback from all of my guy friends... I am currently focused on expanding Rich and Rich & Skinny, but you never know what the future holds.... I will keep you posted!!!
JR: Thanks for having me and for helping to get the word out!! You guys rock! Love Joie
