You know me, ladies! I live for taking fabulous youthful fashion trends and reinterpreting them for us! Naturally, I had to deliver the trend of the year: cargo pants a la Baby Boomer!

Loving those cargo pockets, but not on the thighs? Well, me too! Who wants all the bulk? So I made the pockets petite amd moved them down to just above the ankle, right above the skinny-jean zipper! We also added moto-stitching around the knee for that authentic touch! Now you’ll get that same great DG2 Skinny-Jean Fit, but with fabulous designer details that allow you to make cargo your own and give you a lean, streamlined silhouette!

I just LUV my job!

Of course, I couldn’t stop there, so you’ll find that the February fashion collection has oodles of fun jackets, tees, shirts, and sweaters to carry out the theme, but it all starts with the jean! That’s why it’s our Today’s Special for February!

So please come join us February 26th for an exclusive world launch on HSN!

XOXO,

D

    please, please make some BOOT cut jeggings in LODEN in TALL, plain, embellished, sparkly, I”ll buy them all, thank you, they are the only ones I can wear in your line, due to health issues around my waist, which prevent me from having metal zippers, rivets, pockets, extra pressure points in that area and any other style like skinny or cropped just don’t look right on me, need the boot cut thank you so very much for your consideration

  • llvvk1 says:

    Diane,
    Love all your jeans!!!
    Why don’t you make boots to compliment your jeans?

  • Sweetdizred says:

    I am thrilled with these jeans… I will not wear any other Jean ever again! Most comfortable pants I’ve ever had on …… Can’t wait to get them in every style! Can’t wait for Diane to be on again HSN I’m ranting, and raving, to everyone over them. Thank you Diane. I am so much happier in my DG2’s, please keep them coming, what comfort! Nothing I see wrong with any of them. I just can’t get enough of them Thanks again Diane!

  • Simi772 says:

    Diane, Have watched you for years and the other night you said most of us baby boomers have our weight around the middle and hips…so what not make those GREAT pull on skinny jeans in a BOOT CUT that will flatter us all???? I cannot wear a jean with a zipper as my waist is large and my thighs and legs are thin. I am DYING for PULL ON BOOT CUT JEANS! PLEASE, PLEASE consider my request. Thanks.

  • SandGirl says:

    SYDNEY PANTS!!!
    Diane – you HAVE TO BRING THESE BACK PLEASE!!! I wear them to work every single day, I have one of each color you had but I’ve had them for years and I need to get new ones and a new size as well.
    WIll you be bringing these back?
    Please do! Thanks so much for all your great fashion but bring back my SYDNEY PANTS :)

    • Samantha44 says:

      I called when you were on one day and a man told me that by the end of March you would be releasing more fit and flair jeans. The ones you have now are older ones, and therefore a lot of sizes are already sold out. Please bring more fit and flair jeans out as soon as possible. Really like them and don’t want to buy someone else’s designs.

  • deb10810 says:

    Hi Diane,
    As everyone else, I love your jeans. I have also bought many jackets. Diane,I am a baby boomer. I am 59, and would love to see you come out with tops for summer in a 3/4 sleeve. I hate my arms I wear between a 8 and Medium in tops.I love all the sleveless tanks, but will not buy them because of my old, ugly arms. To put a top over the tank, is just to warm.I live in Phoenix, AZ. A top that is light weight with a 3/4 sleve would be such a blessing. I love your work!! Thanks so much!

  • CLANNH845 says:

    Diane,
    I’m 40 years old and love love love your clothes, it’s been 5 months and now I’M HOOKED. Especially your jeans, some of them are very stylish and hippy for my age, that’s exactly what I wanted to wear in early 80s back in my country (Vietnam). I notice that you’ve been wearing a wide band leather belt with kind of rectangle shape buckle, I wonder that is one of your previous line, and is that coming back soon? i’m looking for one like that.
    Looking foward to your summer collection.

  • Snookie1259 says:

    I love your clothes. My story is the same as the other older boomer ladies, trying to find something that fits comfortably. I don’t wear much other anymore than your designs.

    I purchased a pair of the French cuff animal print jeans. The only problem was I should have removed the cuff link before I wore them. I lost one first time out. How can I get a replacement cuff link?

    The petites seem to vary in length between some of the styles

    Thanks again

    • rainlo says:

      i also purchased the french cuff jeans in five colors and i also have about six pairs of the bootcut jeans ,two pairs of jeggings, and a pairs of grey jeans with a lot of zippers. they are the best jeans i’ve ever worn being that i’m 67 ye4ars old and couldn’t find anything before that fit. thank you so much for thinking of the boomers. i also purchased jackets for the cuffed jeans so i know i’m going to be hot in my outfits. thanks again and keep them coming.

  • Hello Diane,
    Thanks for all the great clothes! My closet consists of your line (almost exclusively) these days. Jeans fit fabulous and jackets are perfect. Now for the request: How about making leather or suede jackets for us baby boomers? With Terry Lewis gone, I miss quality made jackets for a good price. I know a leather line would be a hit with us. Please consider it…you would fill the gap for those of us who love shopping HSN and DG2. Keep up the great work!

  • Jewels63 says:

    Diane,
    I love your babydoll hoodies. I must own about 18 of them easily. When are you going to bring us more wonderful designs? I will be eagerly waiting And searching daily.

  • wildkat says:

    Diane, I love your cardigans in solids and animal prints and knit tunics in animal prints. I’m a 3x woman and on the tall side, so I like my tops longer. How about doing some matching pullover tops for the cardigans in a longer length (at least 32″), in solids and matching prints, along with some leggings, so we can mix and match to our hearts’ content? I would be your best customer.

  • gypsy51 says:

    Just got the trouser cambray. was locked out of the white. When will they be available again? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fit. I like so many others have a small waist compared to the hip measurement and have to get all pants altered. This were perfect.

    Question: My calfs are very large. I do fit into your other jeans because of the stretch, but another inch would not hurt on straight leg and skinny. Maybe you could design jeans for big calfed women. Haha

    thanks Gypsy 51

  • I have a million pairs of DG2 and I wear them every where; please make the crushed velvet suite in more colors. Needless to say I have all 5 and I’d like Navy, Green, and true Red. That’s it!!! Thanks and Diane I love you!!!!!!

  • LKK says:

    Hi Diane
    Love those jeans and jeggings like everyone else. It’s nice for us boomer gals to have someone who cares about us, so thanks!

    I have a request. Remember all of the pretty silk campshirts and tanks you used to do? I still have some that I wear. And I wore your silk elastic waist pants with pockets till they fell apart! Could you consider bringing those back? Sometimes jeans are just too hot, or we want a different look.

    Also maybe

    longer jean jackets would be nice.

  • celtie says:

    It was your new line tonight with the collared tunic cardigan, I had to work Dianne and by the time I got home they were sold out of both the colors I wanted ( white and khaki) pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee will you bring those back ASAP….. I love your long cardigans and I waited all weekend to watch…… and still missed them on TV and online. DRAT……
    I have 203 pairs of your jeans !!!!!!!!!

    Luv yas

  • Cali2012 says:

    By the way, I love your skinny jeans – can you tell? wink wink! Love you Diane :)

  • Cali2012 says:

    Diane, your Spring 2011 collection is divine! I love the classic chic of this collection. You are truly a wonderful designer. I love the understated, classic feel of this collection – I purchased several pieces that I know I will have many years. Would you consider desiging a pair of skinny jeans with patches? Similar to the bootcut style of patched jeans you did a couple years ago, only on a skinny sillouette – how cute would that be?!! Also, white skinny jeggings w/zip side – please! :)

  • Diane

    PLEASE MAKE YOUR JEAN JACKETS ABOUT 26 INCHES LONG FOR US WOMEN THAT ARE LONG WAISTED, AND PLEASE MAKE YOU ELONGATED JACKET IN WHITE AND CHAMBRAY I HAVE EVERY COLOR EXCEPT WHITE AND CHAMBRAY.

    Thanks in advance
    CINDY – ILLINOIS

  • Summerpenny says:

    Diane,
    I love love love the bootcut jeggings, I would like them in more colors! White would be great! All of your jeans fit me perfectly, I always look for you on HSN when I need jeans and other garments of yours. So far the bootcut Jeggings have been my favorite, so bring on the colors!!

  • Diane. I am a new DG2 girl. I love your jeans. I got your cargo jeans and love them!!!!! Along with your military jacket, ponte knit jackets and your trench coat. Could you please please think about styling some shorts for us baby boomers. Something cute that we can wear with some of your jackets and shirts. Not short short of course but a nice, stylish, comfortable pair of shorts. Would love them too!!!!!!!

    • diamond12 says:

      I wore my embellshed jeans into the great mausoleum to see my Burial place by Michael Jackson. I was photographed by numerous celebrities from Gable , Harlow , Lombard and yes Mj. Diane your jeans are fit for King. A one in a million chance to say goodbye to an outstanding performer. Anyway, thanks for embellished chambray jeans – I have photo to cherish with your jeans – and you can guess the rest. You rock from a gal who was born the same year as Michael.

  • luvalatte says:

    Diane,
    I so love your style on jeans. I am 43 years old , had 2 kids and am tired of squeezing myself into THOSE jeans. Please make a size 0 so I can have comfort too. –Oh– and I still keep thinking about the lower leg light denim patch jeans you made.
    Luv ya!!

  • HOW do I get rid of the horrible smell in ALL of DG2’s BLACK jeans and jackets???? HELP! I love her clothes but the odor is horrible! I’ve washed them a ton of times, used baking soda, dryer sheets…. PLEASE tell me WHAT DOES work ?????

    • Cymbaa says:

      I know different people have different degrees of “smell”, I only smell a slight odor when they get here. I use Downey in the rinse cycle and the smell seems to disappear. I also put them in the dryer, I know you aren’t supposed to, but I have never had a problem and I think this helps “heat” the odor out too. You could also put them in the dryer on the “air” setting. Good luck! My daughter is like you, she smells every little thing, she says it’s a “curse” sometimes!!

  • probitaz says:

    Diane,
    I am new to your product line and am still in the process of finding what size I wear in your jeans. I ordered 3 pairs a little while ago and unfortunately, they were too big. I ordered a pair of your cargos in the next size down, so we’ll see when I get them. I do have a request that I’d bet you have gotten before. It’s great that you carry tall sizes but could you do that with your jackets. If I don’t get tall, the sleeves are too short. Well, here’s to finding the right size.
