From the land Down Under, Prohibition in the United States must have seemed like a brilliant idea, inspiring speakeasies and fashionable indulgence—hence the name of cult favorite denim line 18th Amendment. Australian designer Rachel Rose paired with creative director Rebecca Dawson to bring the same kind of refined glamour found in the 1920s to its collection of denim. As one of the first lines to bring back the high waist, this fashion-forward label also embraces clean washes, subtly adorning its denim with signature embroidered wings on the back pockets and a small embroidered star on the front.
Borrowing nomenclature from classic movie stars, this season’s styles span the denim spectrum, from high-waisted skinnies to mid-rise flares. We’d rather have a legal cocktail than moonshine any day, but we’d be silly to pass up on a pair (or two) of 18th Amendment’s superflattering jeans. No secret password required.
