“I’ve been selling the [Hong Kong–based] line Ming for three years [at my boutique], but they only started making denim this season. I am the only one in the U.S. carrying them. I’m wearing them three times a week. The cut is really good on my body. When I buy jeans I usually have to tailor and shorten them. These are designed for little, skinny and short girls with no hips, so they hug my butt and hips. I wear them with ankle boots or high over-the-knee boots. I like to layer a lot, so I’ll wear them with a big chunky sweater and jacket. [They’re only] $79 and come in three washes.” Available at Michelle Tan (1872 N Damen Ave, 773-252-1888). View an exhibition of Michelle Tan Design Fri 23, 11am–1pm at the Chicago Tourism Center’s Style Stop (72 E Randolph St).
