Denim Designer Morgan Lewis Reveals The Must-Have Denim Silhouettes And Washes For 2022

April 25, 2022. 1 Comment

Take a look at the spring 2022 runways and the presence of denim cannot be ignored. The difference this year is the explosion of not just washes and treatments but also an array of silhouettes.

With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, we checked in with designer Morgan Lewis about her passion for denim, the brands she views as leading and this year’s 10 hottest trends denim trends.

Snobette: What attracted you to denim?
Morgan Lewis: “I was searching for a job five years ago and was contacted by a nice recruiter on LinkedIn who insisted I apply to an open denim position she had. Until then, I had only designed a denim jegging with a minimal dry process. Denim was not my expertise. Now, I no longer have an interest in designing anything besides denim. I like to describe learning about denim as peeling back layers of an onion. People have no clue how much goes into making denim despite how ubiquitous it is. It’s quite fascinating.”

Snobette: Looking at the trends you selected, do you have a personal favorite? 
Morgan Lewis: “It’s a tie between low rise and boot cut, reminds me of my youth.”

Snobette: Can you share with us your three favorite women-owned denim brands?
Morgan Lewis : “Oak and Acorn by Miko Underwood, Mother Denim co-owned by Lela Becker and Pistola by Grace Na.”

Below, check out Morgan’s takes on the 10 hottest denim trends for summer 2022 and beyond.

Denim bras and corsets: “Nothing says warm weather like a cute bra top or corset. Make it denim and you now have a great top to complete your Canadian tuxedo.:
Contoured cuts: “The contoured jean provides gorgeous style lines and can aid in the illusion of a more shapely figure. Let’s face it, not all the gworls want to go to Dr. Miami.”
Y2-K prints: “Break out your Lisa Frank!! This trend is giving me so much life. It’s full of expressive energy but not for the faint of heart. It also represents optimism post lockdown.”

Ombre/Gradients: “If you think Y2K prints are a bit mcuh, can I interest you in this? Also fun and full of energy but minus the craziness. I’d also like to officially stick a pin in this trend because it will show up in fall denim under another name, so stick around.”
Workwear/ Utility: “I’d like to think this trend is two-fold: The celebration of us going back to work and a nod to the tons of DYI projects we took up during COVID lockdowns. Remember when The Home Depot parking lot was packed at 2 PM despite commercial construction being non-existent? Wild times….
Low Rise: “Someone call Mariah Carey and tell her to bring the scissors!!!!!!! My favorite of all the ’90s trends. If this isn’t low enough for you there is an ultra-low rise fit in stores too!” 
Boot Cut: Another nostalgia-driven trend. I’m surprised this trend took so long to come back on account of how chunky sneakers have become.” 
Relaxed fit shorts: “For those who don’t usually like denim shorts, these may pique their interest. As shown above, the relaxed cut can be found in lightweight chambray fabrics or more traditional weight denim.”
Wide Leg: “The cut of the skater boy has returned. Wide legs are very forgiving and an easy way to get back into jeans for anyone reluctant to give up their COVID sweat pants.”
Two-Tone: “J’Adore this trend. It’s all over the market from mall stores to mid-tier and high-end denim. You can find it in varying levels of contrast. Some even feature a white panel contrasted by a non-indigo color on the other side.
