After 10.5 months, 146 articles, 1.2 million page views, and hundreds and hundreds of comments, we can finally say that this Fade Friday concludes 2011. Needless to say, it’s been an amazing year – we’ve had loads of learnings (denim and non-denim related), had the opportunity to meet many fellow denim heads out there, and have some exciting plans for 2012 and beyond.
Before jumping into 2012 though, we thought it is only fitting to look back on the year and highlight the Top 5 Fade Fridays of 2011.
