Fashion shows always makes people bring out their best worn in denim, and at the Gallery International Fashion Fair, which was held from the 9th through the 11th of August 2012, we spotted a bunch of beautiful jeans. We’ve picked out only the best for your inspiration – notice that one of the wearers is a girl, a rarity to find in the tough world of dry denim.

Christer Mårtensson wore something else than his old 1937 Levi’s Vintage Clothing jeans and his red Red Wing oxfords, this is a pair of Lee jeans made in Ireland in the early 90s.

Outside the doors on the first morning of the show, I met this girl who has wearing a beautifully worn in pair of selvage jeans together with a pair of Red Wing 8180 moc toes – turns out she has helping out at the Red Wing booth. Cudos and thumbs up for any girl wearing in her own dry denim jeans, unfortunately it’s not something we see that often.
