When Dani Michelle presents style 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 obtained the possibility to select her mind about fall developments, find out how to construct a wardrobe, and what seems to be she’s sick of seeing.
Relating to aesthetics, Michelle is the epitome of effortlessly cool and extremely female. She clothes her purchasers in saggy fits paired with crop tops, robes that depart 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 made from. Every thing she does is recent and painfully stylish. All of this to say, Michelle had some fairly refreshing and probably controversial style takes—one being that she’s truly right here for the thin denims revival and “loves” the barrel development. Whereas I’m obsessive about the horseshoe silhouette, I’m not leaping on the probability to deliver skinny denims again into my denim rotation. Nonetheless, it appears I’d must get with this system contemplating the spring/summer season 2025 runways of labels like Proenza Schouler, Prada, and Marni have been crammed with 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 saggy pairs (which could be present in Michelle’s new Joe’s Denims capsule assortment), cargo types, and naturally jorts.
