    meet the creatives taking selfies in new season denim

    We asked six talents and i-D friends to choose their favourite pair of jeans from the range at David Jones, shoot themselves in their own distinctive style and tell us what they're up to and wearing right now.

    Name: Elizabeth Rose

    What do you do? I sing, write and produce electronic pop.

    What’s one of your highlights of the recent past? Writing and producing my first album!

    What’s a project you’re currently working on, just finished or about to undertake? My debut album titled Intra, I’ve been working on it for almost two years now and it comes out March 4th :).

    If you could have one superpower what would it be? To predict the future.

    When are you happiest? When I’m onstage performing and dancing around.

    What jeans are you wearing in your shot? I’m wearing jeans by Paige.

    What kind of jeans do you typically gravitate towards at the moment? I like to wear skinny jeans – usually higher waisted because I have short legs so it gives the illusion I’m shorter in the torso.

    How would you describe your style generally? I think it’s safe to say my style is relaxed, street with pops of colour and fun prints.

    Name: Emilia Skuza

    What do you do? I study Business/Marketing at RMIT. I also model and run a blog.

    What’s one of your highlights of the recent past? It’s not super recent but late last year I got accepted into the Golden Key Honours Society for being in the top 15% of students at my university. My parents were happy with that one.

    What’s a project you’re currently working on, just finished or about to undertake? I’m currently in the progress of introducing some new dimensions to my blog Notre Lame, which is equal parts exciting and scary.

    If you could have one superpower what would it be? Teleportation.

    When are you happiest? When I’m travelling with someone I love, when my dad makes a terrible joke, or when I’ve just finished a project that I’m really proud of.

    What jeans are you wearing in your shot? Levi’s CTs.

    What kind of jeans do you typically gravitate towards at the moment? Any jeans that aren’t super skinny. My favourite cuts at the moment are either high waisted with a straight leg or more relaxed like the Levi’s.

    How would you describe your style generally? Boyish, relaxed and constantly evolving. I’d always rather be underdressed than overdressed.

    Name: Jamie-Maree Shipton

    What do you do? Freelance writer and stylist with a dash of retail work.

    What’s one of your highlights of the recent past? An image I worked on with my photography partner Agnieszka Chabro was recently featured as Vogue Italia’s image of the day. We were pretty stoked.

    What’s a project you’re currently working on, just finished or about to undertake? I just shot an editorial on Melbourne labels Rare Candy, Dolci & Kabana and HB Peace for Novembre Magazine. I always love shooting for them, they let me go left of centre.

    If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Oh man that’s too much responsibility.

    When are you happiest? I can be really moody creative, but my pug always lights up my days and helps me have a giggle.

    What jeans are you wearing in your shot? I’m wearing Nobody Denim’s new cult skinny in navy.

    What kind of jeans do you typically gravitate towards at the moment? I have always been a high waisted, black kinda gal, but have been really vibing navy lately, so been throwing a bit of that as well as rips into the mix. The more ripped they get the better. There is nothing better than a good pair of denim that I can thrash onset yet still head on out in and add a lil bit of sexy grunge to.

    How would you describe your style generally? I’m usually pretty tomboy, almost always in a jean of some sort and rarely ware much of a bra. I generally like to be easy breezy. I’m all about rings and earrings.

    Name: Aleksandar Zaric

    What do you do? I’m a photographer and editor of Tone Mag.

    What’s one of your highlights of the recent past? I think a recent highlight would have to be a shoot I did for Varsity Club, called “Dial 0”. I got to work with a really fun team and it ended up being more of a party than a photo-shoot. The end result worked out to be one of my favourite shoots yet too.

    What’s a project you’re currently working on, just finished or about to undertake? I’m currently working on the first issue of my zine Tone Mag; it’s taken over a year to put together and I’m really excited to finally release it and share the work of everyone involved.

    If you could have one superpower what would it be? Invisibility for sure!

    When are you happiest? Organising things. I love to plan and organise things without always following through with the end result.

    What jeans are you wearing in your shot? I’m wearing a pair of organic jeans by Nudie.

    What kind of jeans do you typically gravitate towards at the moment? I don’t like wearing things that are too tight, so I opt for jeans that are a bit more relaxed in the leg, usually a lighter denim wash too.

    How would you describe your style generally? 50’s Ivy League with the occasional mix of loud statement pieces.

    Name: Sarah Starkey

    What do you do? Stylist.

    What’s one of your highlights of the recent past? I just got back from a great trip to London, where I worked on a few jobs and then took some time off to travel with friends.

    What’s a project you’re currently working on, just finished or about to undertake? I just shot for Novembre Magazine and Ellery, and I always look forward to my next editorial.

    If you could have one superpower what would it be? I’d be Pyro, the fire-starting X-Man, because everybody seems a bit cool.

    When are you happiest? When I get to do what I love with the people I love.

    What jeans are you wearing in your shot? Citizens of Humanity jeans.

    What kind of jeans do you typically gravitate towards at the moment? Culottes and flares.

    How would you describe your style generally? Styrrrish.

    Name: Byron Spencer

    What do you do? I take photos amongst other things.

    What’s one of your highlights of the recent past? I saw Ciara today.

    What’s a project you’re currently working on, just finished or about to undertake? I am going to India soon. It was the first place I went that inspired me to start taking photos. I am excited to be back there. I would like to work on something creative but I am not pushing it, I will just let it happen organically. It’s an unpredictable place.

    If you could have one superpower what would it be? I think being invisible would be fun. I always go to places and think, “Ah I wish I could just walk around this place and not be seen and go up really close to people and observe them.” Hmmmm, that actually sounds a bit creepy.

    When are you happiest? When I am tanning or being massaged. Family is always nice too.

    What jeans are you wearing in your shot? I am wearing Calvin Klein jeans.

    What kind of jeans do you typically gravitate towards right now? Blue baggy ones, so I’m not sure why I am in black skinny jeans for this shot. It may have been the Parisian influence. I also just bought denim overalls.

    How would you describe your style generally? Relaxed, daggy, naive, manic and only occasionally ‘on point’.
