Mardou&Dean: A New Concept in Jeans

Posted on 19 October 2009 by Angelique

Mardou&Dean are designers of tailored pieces made from the finest fabrics and leathers, and everyday clothing like t-shirts and jeans. Mardou&Dean want to give you a certain sense of euphoria that comes from wearing beautiful, impeccably made clothing. The company started in 2007 with high fashion jeans, added sweaters and tees in 2008, and launched Mardou&Dean Souterrain in February 2009, a collection of tailored gowns, pants, jackets, shirts, and outerwear that are currently in limited production. Here is pop singing star Brandy wearing a pair of Mardou&Dean jeans for a concert:

Mardou&Dean were inspired by the novels by Beatnik author Jack Kerouac. It’s an Oslo, Norway based denim label that makes jeans for women and men. The jeans are produced in Italy using denim from either Italy or Japan. Two Mardou&Dean lines are available, one in classic styling, the other more fashion forward. The fly is designed to be slightly open, and buttons with engraved buttons and rivets made in Italy. Back pockets are designed to give everyone the perfect back view. Mardou&Dean retailers are located in Norway, Finland, and the US.
