I think we will however see the middle class folk who have been driving luxury sales these past few years tone it down a bit. Besides, denim has been such a super hot comedy these last 5 years. Even regular people these days have 5-10 pairs of designer jeans, and for the regular casual wearer thats pretty much enough. If you work in an office all week, you only get to wear your denims on the weekends, or some other social occasion, so you won't see these guys loading up on the jeans.. Every bubble has to burst, and these are the time when you will only see the strong survive. You won't see to many of these pop up trend brands survive. This is exactly why you see brands like R&R and True Religion desperately trying to branch out away from denim. (With little success) Their problem is introducing a brand new product a cache prices isn't exactly going to excite consumers to go there way.
