Hugh Jackman in Levi’s
Hugh Jackman was spotted on set with son Oscar of his new movie Reel Steel in Detroit, Michigan. For some reason I find seeing celebrities in a classic brand to be more amusing than premium sometimes and Hugh was wearing the most classic of them all. He was wearing a pair of Levi’s for the taping. It is just crazy to know that Levi’s is still a go to by many after over a century.
Hugh recently expressed his feelings for casting Taylor Lautner for the role of Wolverine in the X-Men: The First Class movie. What do you think of his choice for the replacement? Do you think Taylor will play it justice? I find that the accuracy of the story will be out of loop, since Wolverine is over a century old and doesn’t age. I don’t think a younger actor would be needed. But then again… they recast Tobey Maguire for the new Spider-Man, when the first movie took place in high school.

What Were They Thinking: Facetasm
I recently came across a post about these jeans on the Huffington Post. They are a pair of jeans by the Japanese brand Facetasm. I find these jeans to be wrong on all counts. Yeah I understand the whole “we need to take more fashion risks.” But is this really a style that anyone is going to wear? I think even the “Queen” of crazy fashion at the moment herself Lady Gaga wouldn’t even be caught in these. But then again she might… you never know with Gaga. She may turn in the underwear and fishnets for denim one day.
I just find the proportions to be all wrong, which is obvious. You just don’t design a pair of half-and-half jeans (skinny being one half and the other being a boyfriend fit). It is just not a good look. The belts on the waistband I also find to be a problem and the crotch is just so unbelievable that I have nothing to say. But… I am going to leave this post on a positive note. I really like the wash of these, I think the fading and whiskering is amazing. They look very well-aged to me. What do you readers think of them?
Nicole Richie in JET
Nicole Richie was spotted running some errands around Los Angeles, California. She was wearing a pair of the new Antique wash by JET jeans. Lucky for Nicole she was able to get her hands on these before they are available. It must be great to be gifted jeans before they are available for the general public. Lucky for us they will be available late August. I’m usually a fan of Nicole’s style. But I think this outfit is great from the ankles up. The flat ankle boots only make her legs look shorter paired with the long top. I like that JET has come out some new styles this coming season. I think they make one of the most comfortable jeans.
I still find it crazy how much Nicole has changed over the years. She has turned herself into an international style icon and a great mother. I think her style, now, suits her better than her Rachel Zoe days to say the truth. She seems more of herself and less pristine. But I did like the Ksubis during those days. Which Nicole do you readers prefer… before, during or after Ms. Zoe?
Samantha Ronson in Dior Homme
Samantha Ronson was spotted visting ex-girlfriend Lindsay Lohan at the Pickford Lofts in Los Angeles, California earlier this week. She was wearing one of her pairs of Dior Homme jeans. These seem to be her favorite brand when it comes to denim. I wonder how many pairs she owns. She has been spotted in these (the brand) many times before, almost uncountable. I know she has a “repair” style and these that are busted at the knees. They must be super soft and comfortable now, plus I think they are a great fit on her.
I really like these jeans. I also like that the tearing at the knees looks natural and not intentional. I think tears should always look natural. I love distressing my own jeans, who doesn’t really. It is such a great stress reliever. I recently got a pair of JET jeans and just hacked at the knees right after I got them. They are now one of my favorite jeans. How many of you readers like ripping your own jeans?
