Key Closet, one of the fastest growing luxury brands on the market, has created what can only be described as the most expensive jeans on the planet! Key Closet has brought high luxury to casual wear and revolutionised today’s standards of fashion with their unique design aesthetic. Each Key Closet garment begins as a blank canvas, ready to become a unique work of art created by an in-house design team who use techniques such as hand threading, hand application of foil, spray paint accents, and tasteful embellishment with metal studs and Swarovski crystal studded settings.

The stand out piece of this highly luxurious collection is a pair of jeans coming in at a staggering $10,000 (£7000)! The hand made, one of a kind, jeans are covered in 1309 stones, including real diamonds, over 160 nail heads and beautiful hand painted accents. Are these the most expensive jeans in the world?!

It is therefore no surprise that Key Closet, and in particular, their jeans, have a growing number of outlandish and fashion forward celebrity fans including Jamie Foxx, Lady GaGa, Omarion, and Cee Lo.

Key Closet is sold in key independent stores nationwide. Prices range from £150 for t-shirts to £7000 for diamond encrusted denims. See more of the brand on www.keycloset.com.

I myself have heard about jeans costing $1 million before I think it was, a one of a pair kind with a huge diamond for the button, if I remember correctly it was a few years ago. Can someone let me know if this is correct?

DenimBlog was lucky enough to get an interview with Daniella the president and founder of the new brand RECESSION DENIM. Keep reading!

DenimBlog: What inspired you the most when creating your brand?

The economy and my girlfriends who were foregoing well tailored, great fitting jeans for lesser quality, inexpensive jeans. Everyone wanted to splurge more on the accessories, blouse and leather jackets. So I figured why not create quality jeans that are just as cool, comfortable and have a great fit and offer them at a reasonable price.

DenimBlog: What has been your favorite memory/experience since RECESSION DENIM was founded?

Printing colored back tag labels onto FABRIC through an HP printer while I was living in Geneva, Switzerland because I did not have access to anything related to garment construction as Geneva is a town run by banks not artists nor fashion designers. I was living there at one point during the development process of the line.

DenimBlog: Do you have a favorite cut you have designed?

Yes, the gypsy collection. It is super lightweight denim dresses, skirts and baggy pants. Not boyfriend, but baggy.

DenimBlog: How many pairs of jeans do you own?

Many

DenimBlog: What cut has been the most popular overall?

Not sure, so far we are selling FALL collection, which is basics and emphasize classic, clean cut jeans that have great fit and are super comfortable. All have been selling well. However, the 2nd and 3rd collections will be a lot more detailed and diverse. We develop jeans with everyone in mind, so I think each pair will speak to someone… I will keep you posted though

DenimBlog: Are there any new trends coming out next season that we should be keeping an eye out for?

Yes, yes. The Gypsy is cool. The Motorcycle jeans are cool. Ummmm, our Horse Back + Boogie Night jean are neat, completely off the beaten path.

New Line: Earl Pickens makes “Made in France” denim collection

Famed designer, Earl Pickens, who has designed for denim lables like Lee Cooper has designed the “Uri Pickens” line which will feature couture looks that have hefty, $2,500 price tags. Despite his new collection, Pickens is not a stranger to denim design. He also designed denim for Castelbajac, which was unable to survive the economic downturn after the September 11th terrorist attacks. However, Pickens describes his rational behind this couture price tag, “When Tom Ford did denim with floral, there was an explosion everywhere. Denim became luxurious,” Pickens said. “Then in 2000, along came rap and denim got huge, literally, the pants were huge. We want to make it a little bit luxurious, not in the five-pocket sense. The idea was a collection that’s tailored, with beautiful suits made in denim.”

Not only was he influenced by other designers but also chose the Bocage Avenir Couture and Vendée Couture to produce his line, which also works with names like Louis Vuitton and Hermes. His fabrics will come from the Japanese mill, Collect. The fabric’s tight weave was meant to protect and is used in firefighter’s uniforms in Japan.

The line iteself will feature cropped jackets, including a stretch denim one with what appears to be hand stitched detailing. The use of fabric is also unique, as he takes Chambray material and creates a denim suit. The jackets start at $900 and the pants at $700, but given the rich detailing, fabric and design, these peices will be truely unique. The pieces can be purchased online this fall.

The “Level” guy is aware of trends, just like his female counterpart and he, too, is not afraid to experiment. But he establishes his style by what looks great on his body, not by what everyone else is doing. Whether it’s a slim or a relaxed fit, he has the capability to make both look fashionable, unique and current. The Level guy is a little rough around the edges at times, but is always timeless.

Real Women and Real Beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes. A lot of denim brands are designed to fit the slimmer figure, luckily there is finally a clothing company that caters to the natural and beautiful shape of real women’s bodies, providing women with the perfect fit!

The revolutionary denim company, Little in the Middle™ answered the prayers of women with their new patented OneUp™ jeans, which are designed specifically for real women with curves.

For example, a size 6.1 is designed to fit a woman who’s a size 6 waist, but a size 8 through the hips and thighs.

Available in a whole range of washes and colors, Little in the Middle™ allows women of every shape and size to indulge in this wonderful world of fashion and highlight their beautiful curves in jeans that fit their genes!

Nicolò is a well known photographer who travels around the world. He used a pair of ONVIS during his trips. He was immortalizing real stories while he and his jeans were living as one. After 2,4 years of adventures he gave them back to us with a great used look. We reproduced the same mood on our collection for this brand new style - M0701 NICOLO’ - edition I - 11 Oz.

The first Red English Denim collection will feature a variety of shield shaped signature back pockets, dark denim washes, ultra soft stretch fabric – all rolled into a rock-inspired haute look. Red English Denim truly follows through when it says couture. This is evident in each piece’s craftsmanship – the clamped back pockets to ensure precision in every shield and stitch, embroidered detail, lamb skin leather signature label, Trinity crossing keys, and crossing hearts hardware, making a denim line truly designed from the heart.

The Red English Premium Jeans will retail ranging from $95 to $175 in price. Consciousness is a fundamental philosophy for Red English with a sense of corporate responsibility. The Red English Foundation set up a charity created for impoverished children from all continents with financial assistance and funding for education and supplies.
