DL1961 and Jessica Alba Collaboration

DL1961 and Jessica Alba are pleased to announced the launch of her exclusive collaboration with the brand.  The 18 piece collection designed by Alba is available online at www.dl1961.com as well as retail partners including Nordstrom, Shopbop, Bloomingdale’s and specialty stores in the US and internationally.  

Alba designed the collection with the DL1961 team and focused on the most important elements of denim design from her perspective: fit, lift and support. With a total of 7 different fits, ranging from No. 1 a high-waisted skinny to No. 7 an on-trend flight suit, each design was labored over meticulously.  

Enlisting her girlfriends as fit models, Alba says “We all want to have a great booty when we put our jeans on, but we also want to be comfortable. Details are everything when it comes to design, especially when it comes to jeans. That's why I was obsessed with things like proportions of crops or the placements of pockets and zippers. If it didn't make sense to me or my girlfriends, it didn't make the cut -- I'm all about the reality.”

“Jessica really spent time on the details of this collection, which you can appreciate the minute you put a pair of her jeans on,” says Sarah Ahmed, Creative Director of DL1961.  “I loved being able to collaborate with someone who is such an empowered business woman while also clearly enjoys the creative process.” 

Another important factor to Alba was the eco-conscious element of the brand. DL1961 is vertically integrated and implements production processes that utilize 50% less water, chemicals and dyes in the manufacturing of its denim.  Additionally, developing exclusive fabrications and materials exclusive to the brand that ensure each pair of denim is not only made of the softest weaves but also retains its shape and fit.
