“Jeans Whisperer” Brings Huge Designer Denim Deals to NoVA

Hello there, shoppers! Get ready to read some news that sounds too good to be true, but rest assured this is not an early April Fools prank.
A new store in Clarendon, cleverly named The Jeans Whisperer (3101 Wilson Blvd.), sells designer denim from must-have brands like J Brand, 7 for All Mankind, Joe’s, Paige, William Rast and more for $59-$99! Yes, you read that right.
The store also sells dresses and tops in sizes small to extra large from indie New York and L.A. designers plus locally made jewelry, travel bags and shoes with interchangeable tops from Onesole.
So how did this all come about? Following 18 years as a commercial leasing agent, Jan Forman of Great Falls began taking advantage of a great family connection in New York’s garment district seven years ago and started doing trunk shows and fundraising events at college campuses and vendor shows around the country. Not only was Forman, earning the nickname “the jeans whisperer,” able to offer discounted premium brand jeans, but she found she had a knack for fitting women and putting them in the right pair of jeans.
Building on her success, she added other clothing and accessories to complement the jeans and enjoyed a great deal of success selling those as well. Having eventually tired of traveling, however, Forman decided to open a shop and let her customers come to her, and also make all of her lines available on the store’s website.
There are no words, except Hallelujah! And thank you.

Hello there, shoppers! Happy Friday!
Nothing against diamonds — hey, they’re my birthstone — but I think the perfect pair of jeans is really a girl’s best friend. My fashion besties go by the name of Hudson and J Brand. Maybe your BFFs answer to the names AG, Citizens of Humanity, Current/Elliott, 7, Paige, Joe’s … True Religion? Fortunately hanging out together doesn’t have to cost you a pretty penny — that is if you take advantage of some awesome sales.
Through Aug. 22, Cusp is offering all designer denim at 20 percent off, online and in stores.
Anthropologie has select designer denim styles reduced drastically, like these Paige flares, now just $99.95, regularly $189, in stores and online — the sale racks in stores are your best bet. I couldn’t believe the denim deals at the RTC Anthro last weekend!
Shopbop currently has all kinds of killer denim deeply discounted — many prices slashed 50 percent.
And South Moon Under has select styles on a major sale.
Happy shopping! And have a great weekend!
