J Brand was co-founded by denim manufacturer Jeff Rudes and stylist Susie Crippen. The two set out to design classic and sophisticated jeans with an emphasis on fit, while holding to one mandate: creating timeless products. Paying careful attention to details and clean, dark finishes, together they have created a combination of style and comfort in jeans for men and women. A favorite of celebrities, J Brand Jeans won Denim Designer of the Year at the 2007 Los Angeles Fashion Awards and continue to influence contemporary styles worldwide.
