Jeans with special construction and shading with front pockets that act like a girdle are a girl’s dream come true. Well, wake up ladies, it's a reality. Well, according to the website skinnyjeans.com, Oprah and Rachel Ray. I have noticed Rachel has been looking slimmer on camera in jeans, but just assumed it was diet and exercise, yeah right. Purportedly they slim your thighs, flatten your stomach, shape your butt, make your legs look longer and, oh yeah, come in many rinses. They can be found at skinnyjeans.com. The technique stems from classic denim but with a high nylon/elastane content. This gives them a ‘beefy’ strength to hold you in (no wimpy, gummy stretch here) and creates ‘memory’—the jeans never stretch out, bag out or lose their shape. (You will not have to wash them every time you wear them), said Catherine Hart, the company founder, via her website information. Don’t take my word for it, go to the website, read the testimonials, send your questions of disblief to hello@skinnyjeans.com or orders@skinnyjeans. Of course, there is that old fashion way of calling: 212/755-5577 or 866/946-8348.

Obviously, muffin-top stops here!

Yes she aufs people from her runaway hit Project Runway, models for Victoria's Secret, sings, designs jewelry, and oh yeah, is a mom and married to singer Seal. If that were not enough, now she is designing a full brand of clothing for Jordache Jeans, which she currently models for. There will be countless stlyles of jeans (naturally), tops, coats, etc.... All a fab lady needs for the day or to go out for the evening.

The line is carried by Bloomingdale’s NYC, 1000 Third Avenue, (212/705-2000) or through Bloomingdales.com.

Who wears short shorts? Women who know how to pull them off, long or short, the right way! Do: find the right length and shape for your body. Don’t: copy Daisy Duke or similar looks from magazines. These shorts by Moschino are high-waisted enough to tuck in shirts without looking costumey, or work with a long camisole. Wear them with sleek sandals and a few simple bangles, and you’re ready to go! Note: make sure your legs have seen at least some self-tanner before wearing.

Rompers makes the Couture Team think of children’s outfits from Gap or a Children’s Place, as well as a reminder of the old ‘70s show ‘Romper Room’. Yes, the semi-jumpsuit has made a vintage-like reappearance this season from the funky and fun labels like Paul Frank to the various other incarnations flooding the marketplace. As usual here on the Couture Team, we are split. Tell us, do you love ‘em or hate ‘em? Our inquiring minds want to know.
