Anchorage gets Current/Elliot

Comments (0) |

There was a brief moment back in July when fashion bloggers got all bothered about Katie Holmes’ jeans. She wore them baggy, ripped, pegged—and in public. You can’t be Victoria Beckham’s short-skirted sidekick one day and Punky Brewster the next without raising a few sculpted eyebrows, and the sentiments ranged from concerned to horrified. And this launched the Katie Holmes Jeans Watch 2008 ...

Long story short: The cyber-fashionistas criticized what they didn’t understand, but by October Holmes’ style was cutting edge. And now (in six short months, mind you) you can buy one of her fave labels in Anchorage in the infamous style.

Boutique Blush’s downtown location (720 D Street, 677-8967) has Current/Elliot jeans in “The Boy Friend” cut ($229). Wear them with leggings now (hey, it’s 20 degrees!) or wait a few months for flip-flop weather, but just don’t say we’re too far behind the style curve, kids.
