When Dani Michelle presents trend recommendation, you’re taking it. The stylist, who works with Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Daisy Edgar Jones, was just lately named the artistic director of Joe’s Denims, and StyleCaster bought the prospect to select her mind about fall developments, easy methods to construct a wardrobe, and what appears she’s sick of seeing.
Relating to aesthetics, Michelle is the epitome of effortlessly cool and extremely female. She clothes her shoppers in dishevelled fits paired with crop tops, robes that go away little to the creativeness (I’m nonetheless not over the Schiaparelli quantity Jenner wore on the 2024 Academy Gala final month), and denims desires are product of. Every little thing she does is contemporary and painfully stylish. All of this to say, Michelle had some fairly refreshing and presumably controversial trend takes—one being that she’s really right here for the thin denims revival and “loves” the barrel pattern. Whereas I’m obsessive about the horseshoe silhouette, I’m not leaping on the probability to deliver skinny denims again into my denim rotation. Nevertheless, it appears I would have to get with this system contemplating the spring/summer season 2025 runways of labels like Proenza Schouler, Prada, and Marni had been full of tremendous fitted pants.
Michelle can also be very into cropped straight-leg denims as they’re “actually nice” for boots. She particularly suggests Joe’s Denims The Margot—which presents a high-rise match and stops proper on the ankle. Her Joe’s Denims appointment couldn’t come at a greater time—since as of late, denim is having a serious second. Along with skinny and barrel, we’re seeing a heightened curiosity in dishevelled pairs (which might be present in Michelle’s new Joe’s Denims capsule assortment), cargo kinds, and naturally jorts.
