Nine Days is the product of ingenuity and art using denim as a canvas. Forged from the mind that brought you PRPS, Denim Guru Donwan Harrell now brings you the color of the 70’s revolution and the attitude of the 80’s punk with fashion forward twist. Nine Days sports an average price of under $120, proving that a high fashion doesn’t have to come with a higher price point.
Using premium denim with unconventional washes and treatments, Nine Days is not for those who accept uniforms. Harrell says, “ this is for the influencers, the early adopters, the beneficiaries of the flattery which is bred by imitation.” To win the race you can’t be afraid to take the lead.

Not too long ago, we brought you Photoshoot in Potomac, Part I. Below you'll find the video sequel we promised you. But first, a quick word about the shoot from the lovely and talented photographer who made the magic happen:
"The shoot was super fun. Jeff Sachse was a great host, and his place served us all so very well. The boys were all fit and tasty, just the way UG likes 'em. It was fun to mix ambient and strobe light in the house, with really great rooms and spaces. The challenge was racing the clock out on the dock when the sun finally went behind the trees." --Scott Henrichsen
Thanks again to Scott and models Dean, Edward and Kyle! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you.
Let the countdown begin! Our first Fall Fashion Preview starts in only two hours! Now that we have the chance to breathe a little, here are a few tidbits of info that might be of interest:
Swag Bags
We received some awesome goodies from sponsors and vendors alike. We only have 100 swag bags, however, and they're first come first serve... so make sure to arrive early!
VIP Swag Bag Contest
We've put together a very special swag bag for the lucky winner of this very simple contest. To enter, all you have to do is snap a photo of you and/or your friends at the event this evening. (Might we suggest posing in front of our amazing step & repeat?) Post the picture on our Facebook "Fan" Page Wall by next Friday, 9/17.

Just in time for my yearly trip to Southern Decadence in New Orleans, Universal Gear got in a new shipment of Deep V's from Andrew Christian. (I'll be taking one in every color!) Deep V-necks are fun and sexy and definitely lend to accessorizing with longer necklaces and chains. They are also great for showing off your hard earned chest! For more bold Deep V styles check out the new Andrew Christian lineup at www.universalgear.com!
