Nadia Fairfax talks denim rules for Cotton On collab

Warning: You will want the whole collection.


You know we love our staples here in the Fashion Weekly office, so when a denim collection drops - we can barely contain our excitement. Apart from loving a fresh take on an old classic favourite, throw a collaboration in the mix with a trusted brand and personality - we naturally pull out our credit cards.

So what's all the fuss about? Well, retail giant Cotton On has announced a brand new and exclusive 18 piece denim capsule called 91:LTD. The collection features the latest on-trend styles including skirts, dresses, jackets and jumpsuits.


But what we are most excited about is the creative collaboration with blogger, Nadia Fairfax! She has been known to have a deep love for denim and while working with Cotton On she has shared her thoughts, tips and tricks on pulling off the key statement pieces this season.


Here is what she had to say.




What do you love about denim?


NF: My favourite part about denim today is that many of the old rules no longer apply. Whether you mix a chambray shirt with cut-offs or rock a fitted dress with an oversized jacket, denim on denim is killer. It's so easy to feel inspired, and I love that.

What are the hot must-have denim pieces this season?


NF: The denim mini skirt or skort. Just when you least expect it, the denim mini returns! Yes it's true, here comes [the] 90's fashion again, Also anything with a frayed edge - this trend isn't going anywhere!


The culotte jumpsuit is super cute but a tough piece to wear. How can you wear this from day to night?


NF: This culotte jumpsuit feels oh-so-chic. The deep indigo denim over a classic wash is instantly versatile. It really doesn't take much to take this from day to night. A simple pair of wedges would do the trick.


What do you love most about the culotte jumpsuit?


NF: The raw edges. It adds a touch of nonchalance - we all want that 'undone' look, right?


So what's all the fuss about? Well, retail giant Cotton On has announced a brand new and exclusive 18 piece denim capsule called 91:LTD. The collection features the latest on-trend styles including skirts, dresses, jackets and jumpsuits.


How do we get your look?


NF: Keep it simple and casual. Add some statement slides and for that extra effortless look, spritz a ton of sea salt spray to the hair. Ta dah!


Why do you think denim continues to be such a staple for people?


NF: The real testament to denim is on the streets. You can hardly walk a block without spotting a girl in a perfectly styled 'Canadian tuxedo' (denim on denim). Denim is the perfect combination fo style and comfort, which is why I believe everyone from my grandmother to Alexa Chung consonantly rocks denim.


Why will fashionistas love this collection?


NF: Because you can slip from bad-ass boots to Superga sneakers to heels and back again. It's a dream capsule collection, the perfect mix and match.




The 91:LTD collection will be available online from July 29 at cottonon.com and from August 1 in selected Cotton On stores. Prices range from $39.95 - $89.95.
