Known for mastering the "perfect fitting jeans," DL1961 paid homage to the brand's New York City roots with a display of men's and women's denim, showcasing the latest in fashion-forward and trendsetting washes, prints and textures, as well as distressing, hand embroidery and leather accents.
The Spring/Summer 2013 runway show unveiled couture embroidery, cool metallic tones, muted pastels, a plethora of prints and a throwback to acid washed jeans, denim jackets and vests.
