Get Comfortable with Cotton Citizen
If there’s one fall collection I’m super excited to get my hands on right now, it’s Cotton Citizen. (Think James Perse meets American Apparel … but better.) This brand could change the way we look at T-shirts forever.
Made in Los Angeles, Cotton Citizen came about when Adam Vanunu, whose family runs American Dye House (makes sense!), experimented with premium fabrics (think bamboo, organic cotton, jersey and French terry) and unique washes and dyes often associated with denim (think acid wash). The effect was a show-stopping complexity of color. When I first got one of their shirts, an ultra-soft rust-colored number with faded, watercolor-like detail, I wore it almost every day for a week! (I’ve since restrained myself, but still want to wear it every day.)
While Cotton Citizen had an exclusive test-run with Fred Segal early this year, it is now expanding into other stores. The fall collection is filled with beautifully shaded, ultra-comfy T-shirts, zip-up hoodies, tank tops, gorgeous sweatpants and maxi dresses priced from $60 to $200. If it’s celebrity following is any indicator — Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, Jessica Alba, Malin Akerman, and Jared Leto have all been spotted wearing it — expect it to fly off the shelves.

Looks great but wondering why the Cotton Citizen look book has the woman without a shirt or in her underwear, while the guy stays fully clothed? Hmmm
