Frame 101: A Guide to Shopping the Celeb-Approved Denim Staples
Frame was launched in Los Angeles in 2012, by founders Erik Torstensson and Jens Grede, with a focus on handcrafted denim. The brand began with jeans, but quickly became a modern day phenomena—taking off in the early years, with the help of countless supermodel and creative collaborations, including Karlie Kloss in 2014, Inez & Vinoodh in 2015, and Lara Stone in 2016. A Guide to Frame's Most Popular Denim: Since then, Frame's offerings have expanded, with collections consisting of luxe, ready-to-wear pieces, such as cashmere, leather, and outerwear, plus accessories, with countless, iconic moments along the way. From the Frame x Ritz Paris collaboration, to Sienna Miller's most recent campaign, the brand continues to move the needle with high-profile partnerships and eye-catching editorials focused around their easy-to-wear, gets-better-with-time quality denim silhouettes. From straight-legs, to palazzos, skinny jeans, and more, keep reading to discover all the best Frame denim styles, right here. Le Sleek Straight One of its most-loved styles, Le Sleek Straight is a high-rise silhouette made from super-stretch denim that is both soft and comfortable. Hitting right at the ankle, it pairs perfectly with everything from ballet flats to ankle boots, plus all your other wardrobe essentials, offering a clean look and relaxed feel you are sure to reach for over and over. Le Slim Palazzo Comfort comes first with Le Slim Palazzo—a roomier, wide-leg jean that has been in the Frame lineup for years. It's high-waisted, fitted at the hip, then softens to a subtle flare. These are effortless in design, easy to wear, and extremely soft —made from a stretch, cotton modal blend. Pair with your favorite blouse for the office or a cozy sweater on the weekend, or even consider wearing in flight—they are truly that comfortable. The Bubble The Bubble is Frame's answer to fashion's new fixation: the barrel-leg jean. The exaggerated leg curves to create a voluminous horseshoe-shape effect, and has been finished off with a cuff at the hem (which can also be unrolled, should you wish). The high-rise allows you to perfectly tuck in a T-shirt, button down, and or fitted cardigan for a dramatic upgrade to your everyday denim. The Arrow Bootcut jeans are very much back, and The Arrow checks all the boxes. Crafted from structured, stretch denim, it has the look of a vintage jean with the comfortable features of modern fabrication. Featuring a full-length inseam and slight bell below the knee, petites will rejoice that this style also is part of the brand's Pixie line, which caters to those needing a shorter inseam. The Vertical If stretch denim isn't your thing, take The Vertical for a test drive. It's a relaxed fit with a high-rise design, similar to Le High Straight, however this one is made with rigid, regenerative denim and has a longer inseam—it's the pair worn by Sienna Miller in her campaign. Think of this as your off-duty must-have; style accordingly, with your favorite leather jacket and sneakers, or a simple tank top and slides for a timeless approach. The Lax Inspired by the laid-back vibe of the brand's birthplace, Los Angeles, this wide-leg flare is made from rigid denim. Flaunting a frayed hemline for vintage-inspired appeal, they're a standby style that never loses its fashionable flair whether dressed up or down. Available in true blue, light wash, and white, try styling them with a striped T-shirt or a poplin blouse, for that certain je ne sais quoi. Le High Skinny The return of the skinny jean is on everyone's mind, but Frame's Le High Skinny has always been a go-to for brand enthusiasts, no matter current denim trends. It boasts a mid-rise cut with long, stovepipe legs that hit at the ankle. Made from stretch denim, it's the style that will hug your figure, just like a glove. Pair with all your favorite footwear musts, such as knee-high boots and ballerina flats. The Reboot Crop For most denim aficionados, having a cropped, boot-cut jean in their regular rotation is a necessity. The Reboot Crop is made from Frame's infamous, super-stretchy denim, with a streamlined design that focuses on quality and wearability. It styles perfectly, no matter the season, with sandals in the summer, boots in the fall and winter, or loafers and flats, for all the moments in between.

Glasgow creative agency Frame toasts major client wins
The deal saw Mr McCranor distribute equity to senior management and restructure the 35-year-old agency, merging the original Frame advertising business with the newer public relations and content division which launched in 2014. The agency now employs 55 people and turned over £6.3 million last year. Mr McCranor said: 'The new-shape Frame is leaner, faster, and more effective. We remodelled the business after the MBO creating three specialist divisions – consumer and retail, sport and entertainment, [and] corporate and B2B – while growing our service lines and simplifying our integrated offering, making it much easier to buy. We're feeling the benefits of this now, as are our clients. Read more: 'As well as successfully retendering for our work with UEFA, we've been able to land major UK brands like William Hill, ODEON Cinemas and Battersea Power Station, which is testament to the talent we have in Scotland and continues to back up our position that there's life outside of London.' Frame's new ownership team includes client services director Anna Quinn, head of consumer and retail Alison Downs, and head of corporate and B2B Harry Hussain. A new class of shares has been created for senior management team members Paddy Baxter and Ewan MacGill, and creative directors Callum Robertson and Eilidh McDonald. Mr McCranor added: 'Frame is 36 years old, it has real heritage and carries the legacy of many talented people who built the brand and reputation before we got here, but this now feels like a start-up and we're only getting started. 'We've become custodians of the agency in a crazy time, politically and economically, not to mention the pace of technological change which is influencing most if not every industry out there. 'I think the next five years will be a harder time to run a business than in the previous 15, but if the last five years taught us anything it's to expect the unexpected and be ready to adapt fast. 'Whatever path that takes, our focus will remain on delivering meaningful work for businesses who believe in us and providing an amazing place to work for the people who believe in us enough to spend their careers here.' Mr McCranor first joined the business with the formation of the Frame PR division in 2014. The division was created by the original Frame advertising agency, which was founded in 1989, as a joint venture with Mr McCranor and Charlotte Street Partners, the Edinburgh-based strategic communications and public affairs consultancy, with Mr McCranor at the helm. Clients include Skyscanner, Diageo, British Business Bank, Miller Homes, Dobbies Garden Centres, Scottish Rugby, Scotland Food & Drink, AGS Airports and the SEC.

Catholic League Tells Washington to Adopt Church's Law
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Catholic League President William A. Donohue has written to Washington state Senator Noel Frame, urging the state to "follow Canon law" on assisted dying. The letter followed Frame's suggestion that the church could "change their rules" to allow priests to disclose any allegations of child abuse heard during confession to the relevant authorities. Newsweek contacted the Catholic League and the state senator for comment on Thursday via email outside regular office hours. Why It Matters Earlier this month, the state of Washington passed a law requiring clergy to report any suspected child abuse they learn of during confession, a requirement they were previously exempt from for religious reasons. In response, the Archdiocese of Seattle said, "Catholic clergy may not violate the seal of confession—or they will be excommunicated from the Church." What To Know On Tuesday, the Catholic League published the letter Donohue sent to Frame under the title "Washington State Should Adopt Canon Law." In his letter, Donohue cited an interview Frame did with NPR's Dave Miller earlier this month, in which she suggested church law could be amended to match state law. "I am reminded that Canon law has changed many times over the years in the Catholic faith and there's nothing to say they cannot change their rules to allow the reporting of real time abuse and neglect of children. That is within their power to change and I think they should so," Frame said. Donohue wrote in response: "Funny thing is I feel the same way about your state legalizing assisted suicide. Except I would recommend that state law follow Canon law. We the Catholic Church have a theological purpose that is to protect the vulnerable from assisted suicide and that is why state legislators should choose to follow Canon law to protect such persons, as we do not want to be complicit in killing them."

Robert Alexander/GETTY The Catholic League president added: "I am reminded that state law has changed many times over the years in secular society and there's nothing to say they cannot change their rules to follow Canon law and put an end to assisted suicide. That is within their power to change and I think they should do so." The Washington Death With Dignity Act became law in 2008, allowing "some terminally ill patients" in the state to ask for "lethal doses of medication" from health care providers. In April 2023, then-Governor Jay Inslee approved a law that sought to reduce the wait time between when a patient asked for life-ending treatment and when they received it. Frame also told NPR, "We the state of Washington have a secular legislative purpose that is to protect children from abuse and neglect and if faith communities choose through their rules not to protect children from abuse and neglect, we the state are choosing not to be complicit in that choice by their rules." Donohue responded in his letter: "You do not cite one instance where any child has ever suffered abuse or neglect, in any state, because a priest chooses not to disclose what he has learned in the confessional. That's largely because molesters tend not to be the kind of persons who like to 'fess up.' In other words, your bill is only tangentially related to this issue." What People Are Saying Anthea Butler, the chair of the department of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, previously told Newsweek: "This is about 'the seal of the confessional.' That is, the rule that when a priest hears a confession, it cannot be shared. If it is shared, it's breaking Canon Law. A priest can be excommunicated for breaking the seal of the confessional. "The situation, which the Trump administration is looking at, is interesting because there has always been this collision between the law of the local, state and national level and some aspects of canon law. Think about this not only on this level, but in issues of other types of transgressions, like murder. Terrible situation, but for the priest, they are subject to canon law." The Washington State Catholic Conference, which represents five Catholic bishops, previously told Newsweek: "The Catholic Church in Washington supported adding clergy as mandatory reporters. We have required clergy to report since at least 2002. The church has made several policy changes over the decades to ensure abuse survivors are supported, prevention is emphasized and suspected abuse is reported. We asked for a limited exception for the time a priest is engaged in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, an exception the majority of states with clergy reporting laws have granted. "The state telling the church to change its centuries of practice in the Sacrament of Reconciliation is exactly the type of government intrusion in religion that the First Amendment protects against. It also ignores the current practices and policies of the church that are successfully helping to prevent abuse and ensure reasonable suspicions of abuse are reported to proper authorities. There are many ways to accomplish the states' goal, which we share, of protecting children, that do not require the state to trample on our rights." What Happens Next The Washington law, which is set to go into effect on July 27, has highlighted the national conversation about the boundaries between church and state. The Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into whether the legislation violates the First Amendment right to religious freedom.

Well known Bolton Market trader to get his big break on television TONIGHT
A Bolton trader set to feature on a new TV show tonight said that he hopes it will bring more people into the market. Faking It first aired on Channel 4 in the 2000s – but it's now being brought back for a brand new series on Channel 5. The premise is that a volunteer will agree to be plunged into a very different world and asked to master a new skill. After just four weeks they will then try to pass themselves off as the genuine article. In the first episode, posh Surrey estate agent Rex Adams - who sells multi-million pound properties across London - finds out if he can cut it as a meat trader. His accent and haircut could be a giveaway – so Rex was given a makeover and lessons from a dialect coach. He tries to blend in at Bolton Market – working at seasoned trader Tony Frame's Salmon Kings stall. Salmon Kings stall in Bolton Market (Image: Newsquest) Mr Frame said that he couldn't reveal too much about the episode – which airs on Tuesday night (May 20) – but said that Rex was 'a good kid'. He said: 'They did a very good job of it – without giving too much away. 'As a worker – he was ok – a good kid. It was totally different for him, a culture shock for him getting up early in the morning.' He said that production crews chose Bolton Market after considering a number of options – including neighbouring Bury. Mr Frame said he thought his stall was chosen because it's always busy and has a 'real presence in the market'. He said: 'They had come down to say we'd be on the show at least six months before that – it was between us, Bury and I think somewhere else. 'They looked at a few markets – I think they chose us because we're very steady, busy and have good turnover. 'We have a real presence in the market because we've been here a long time.' Have a story? Get in touch at Mr Frame said that he hopes being featured on the show will promote the market and Bolton in general. He said: 'Hopefully it promotes the market – it's not about just promoting us – it's about promoting Bolton Market. 'It's not about us really, it's about promoting Bolton and the market in general.'

He said: 'It was very good – quite time consuming and sometimes they did get in the way.

Catholic Church Wrong to Excommunicate Priests Over New Law: Bill's Sponsor
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Washington state Senator Noel Frame has rejected the Catholic Church's claim that it would have to excommunicate priests who comply with her new child abuse reporting law. During an interview with NRP's Dave Miller, she said: "There's nothing to say they cannot change their rules." Newsweek contacted state Senator Frame and the Archdiocese of Seattle for comment via online inquiry form and email respectively on Friday outside of regular office hours. Why It Matters The debate highlights the tension that can exist between what religious groups claim are theological requirements and secular legislation. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon told the New York Post that the new law "demands that Catholic Priests violate their deeply held faith in order to obey the law, a violation of the Constitution and a breach of the free exercise of religion" showing the Trump administration is placing itself firmly on the side of religious authority. What to Know Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson this month signed into law SB 5375, which from July 27 will make it a legal requirement for Catholic priests to report any suspected child abuse or neglect they hear about during confession to the relevant authorities. Catholic clergy were previously exempt as according to church doctrine the content of confession can't be shared without breaking Canon law. The move sparked an angry response from Archbishop Paul Etienne of Seattle who said: "While we remain committed to protecting minors and all vulnerable people from abuse, priests cannot comply with this law if the knowledge of abuse is obtained during the Sacrament of Reconciliation." The Archdiocese of Seattle commented: "All Catholics must know and be assured that their confessions remain sacred, secure, confidential and protected by the law of the Church."

Pope Leo XIV meeting with representatives and pilgrims of the Eastern Catholic Churches at the Nervi Hall, on May 14, 2025 in Vatican City, Vatican. Vatican Media/Vatican Pool/GETTY Frame, one of the legislators who sponsored the bill, discussed this issue with NPR's Miller on Wednesday. Herself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Frame said she learned clergy were not already mandatory reporters in Washington in response to an investigation into alleged abuse within "the Jehovah's Witness community in Washington state." In response to Archbishop Etienne's comments, Frame said: "We the state of Washington have a secular legislative purpose that is to protect children from abuse and neglect and if faith communities choose through their rules not to protect children from abuse and neglect, we the state are choosing not to be complicit in that choice by their rules." Frame continued: "I am reminded that Canon law has changed many times over the years in the Catholic faith and there's nothing to say they cannot change their rules to allow the reporting of real time abuse and neglect of children. That is within their power to change and I think they should so." Canon law, the legal system governing the Catholic church, has been repeatedly modified over the years. For example, in 2015 Pope Francis streamlined the process for marriage annulments, while in 2021 he amended Canon law to allow women to be formally instituted as lectors and acolytes for the first time. On May 8, senior figures within the Catholic Church elected Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago as the next pope, the first American to hold the role. He chose the papal title of Pope Leo XIV. What People Are Saying During the interview Frame said: "So under our current mandatory reporting law that clergy will become apart of, they will have 48 hours to report suspected or known abuse or neglect of a child. They can call law enforcement or they can call that into our department of children, youth and families. People often hear of CPS, or Child Protective Services, they have to call that in within 48 hours so that our state agency or law enforcement can go check on that child and ensure that they are safe while they seek to substantiate whether or not abuse or neglect was happening." Addressing Newsweek, Professor Anthea Butler, chair of the department of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, commented: "This is about 'the seal of the confessional' That is, the rule that when a priest hears a confession, it cannot be shared. If it is shared, it's breaking Canon Law. A priest can be excommunicated for breaking the seal of the confessional. "The situation, which the Trump administration is looking at, is interesting because there has always been this collision between the law of the local, state and national level and some aspects of canon law. Think about this not only on this level, but in issues of other types of transgressions, like murder. Terrible situation, but the for the priest, they are subject to canon law." What's Next The Trump administration is likely to continue arguing SB 5375 violates legal protections to religious liberty, potentially setting the stage for the issue to be debated in court.
