DE:Part Denim Gives Premium Experience for Those Who Value Inclusive Sizing
Denim veteran Christina Choi’s 20-year career in the industry informed her decision to launch inclusive, made–in–Los Angeles brand DE:Part Denim, but her blood ran blue well before her work as a designer.
“My family’s love for denim began nearly three decades ago in the heart of Los Angeles with humble beginnings selling at local swap meets,” said Choi, who launched the DE:Part Denim brand in 2025. “At the time, Los Angeles was the denim capital of America, and that environment played a significant role in shaping my understanding of the industry.”
While size inclusivity has become a welcome norm in fashion, Choi recognized many brands that claimed to be inclusive were simply clinging to popular messaging. There was an accessibility problem that Choi believes prevented women of a variety of sizes from enjoying stylish, well-made denim.
“While many brands speak about inclusivity, it often feels like an afterthought. You can see it in their marketing, where a limited range of body types is represented, and in their product assortments, where not every style is available across the full size range,” Choi said. “Inclusivity isn’t simply a marketing message for us but a foundational part of how we design, develop and bring our denim to life.”
DE:Part Denim’s first collection, which was released in March, currently features ten silhouettes—including skinny, straight, boot cut, wide leg, slim and flare—in three washes: the light Ellis, medium Sutton and dark Gramercy. Denim sizes range from 00 to 24. The brand also released four T-shirts and tank tops in three colorways: white, heather gray and black. Shirts are made in sizes XS–3XL. The brand is available at DEPartDenim.com, with denim priced at $158–$188.
“DE:Part is built on the belief that every woman deserves access to premium denim that is comfortable and truly fits,” Choi said. “Our designs are created with a fit-first approach and offered across an inclusive size range, proving that women should never have to choose between style, quality and feeling confident in their clothes.”
