Maria Buccellati for Rock & Republic

Have you checked out the new Maria Buccellati for Rock & Republic collection over at Rock & Republic’s online store?  The collection was also released at Saks Fifth Avenue this month.  That’s Maria on the right, above.

From the R&R site:

Breathtakingly beautiful, indescribably charming, and a tres chic card carrying jet setter, Maria Buccellati is the Rock & Republic brand personified.  Thus, it was a nobrainer when the two fashion powerhouses decided to join forces to create MB for Rock & Republic, a line of luxurious Italian cashmere sweaters and edgy premium denim that combine the strengths of each designer to create a look as flawless as the masterminds behind it.”

I’m not sure I see much of a difference between regular R&R jeans and these new MB jeans besides the tag on the back, do you?  Have you tried them yet?
