This week we introduce you to Lisette Geller, Managing Editor at Denimology.com.  This interview is dedicated to all and all Denim Lovers

What is Denimology?

Denimology is an international denim blog. We are dedicated denim fans, always on the hunt for what’s new and trending. Denimology is  also writing about denim manufacturers all over the world, keeping our readers updated in what’s new in the denim fabric world – like sustainability, new denim fabrics, and denim treatments.

We thrive to cover all aspects of denim, starting with posting lookbooks, celebrities in denim, trend predictions, we assist trade shows to learn about the newest evolution, and visit showrooms to checkout collections…. and much more.

I started as a contributor to Denimology about 8 years ago and have been the managing editor for 3 years. I live, love, and breathe (in) denim. Ever since I was in high school, I have had a big love affair with denim, and it stayed this way until today. I love all aspects of denim: the fabric, washes, styles, especially the feel of denim. Personally I consider myself a real denimhead, preferring selvedge and heavier weight jeans – no skinny stretch jeans with the feel of spandex ever for me.

1. What sparked your interest in Denim and drove you to be with Denimology?

I grew up in the fashion world, my family was in fashion. I was taken along to anything fashion since I was a small kid, and I always wrote a lot of what I saw and thought. To write about denim was a logical next step – as I had been a denim addict since for-ever. Communicating with the denim world – this opportunity was given to me by the Denimology’s publisher and I am deeply grateful that through him I have found my real “niche” in life.

2. How do you balance creativity with commerce?

By being brutally objective and cold minded. When I write about denim, I always try to be objective. This is another reason why I refrain from posting images of me in any denim brand on social media. As an editor, you need to be impartial and just communicate by writing about it to your readers that “it is what it is” and not that “it is what I think it is”. As far as I can tell, this has always worked well commercially spoken, because I can write about any brand, any denim style, whatever there is – just saying what it is and not saying that you NEED to wear this or that.

3. What is the hottest upcoming denim trend for SS/18.

Straight leg jeans made with rigid denim or very little stretch , denim trousers in borrowed-from-the-men’s styles, as well as wide leg denim trousers.
