Celebs in Denim: Ashley Tisdale in acid washed 7 for All Mankind Jeans

ashley-tisdale-7-for-all-mankind.jpg

High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale was spotted out getting a coffee yesterday wearing a pair of 7 for All Mankind Lucy jeans in Acid wash.  Can you say 1980?  7 for All Mankind no longer carries these - shocker!  Some things, like acid washes, should just remain in the 80’s forever.

Thong jeans? Oh no they didn’t!

We’ve all seen this on girls before (pictured below is UK model/television personality Jodie Marsh):

So a Brazilian company thought it would be cool to make these:

OMG.  No they didn’t.  If you care to read more about this monstrosity, read on here.

Denim Don’t.  DON’T LET YOUR THONG HANG OUT!  This is so 1989!

Celebs in Denim: Mariah Carey in Rainbow Denim

Mariah Carey recently appeared on MTV’s TRL in a multi-colored denim skirt.  This whole outfit is so circa-1990.   But you know…I am guilty of liking it just a little…… Oh god.  I must be aging.

Guess Jeans wants a model like Amy Winehouse?

You’ve heard of heroin chic - now top denim company Guess has injected the Australian star of their latest campaign with the gritty rock n’ roll image made famous by hopeless drug addict Amy Winehouse.  Apparently we can expect some Wino looks to be coming our way. 

During the Wino-lookalike’s photoshoot, she was done up to mimic Amy.   In my opinion, the heroin chic look is so over - and Amy is heroin chic.  There’s a big difference between Avril Lavigne or Gwen Stefani’s rock & roll images and that of Amy Winehouse.  Perhaps they picked the wrong muse. What do you think? Is it a great idea to mimic the “Crackie of Camden” rock n’ roll look or is it so over?

Wrangler Jeans Sell for 49.99 Euros in Germany - WHAT?!

wrangler_jeans.JPG

Okay, not to sound like a snob, but when I think of Wrangler, I think of $14.94 at Walmart and no way would I or anyone I am related to be caught dead in them.  Maybe that was just a little snobby…anywho…  I know that some brands, like Levi’s, are hot in other countries and are selling higher than they do here.  Then I saw this ad, from Germany. 

49.99 Euros = appx. $79 USD! 

Omg!  I’d hate to see what designer denim goes for over there!

25% additional off on items already 70% off!

Yikes: New 70’s style jeans from Jovovich-Hawk

jovovich-jeans.jpg

Jovovich-Hawk is known for their cute and casual, slightly hippy designs, and are now even designing for Target, which is super cool.  But then we spotted these Jovovich-Hawk Stevie Jeans.  Oh dear, where to start?!  The 70’s are back right now, which is why we are seeing higher waists and bell bottom-y flares but this is just too much!  Yikes!  Would you buy these?  They retail for $295 at ShopBop.

Death Metal = Pink?

Rock & Republic Neil Death Metal Jeans

OK - time for a new category called “What were they thinking?!”

We’ve said it before - Rock & Republic is one of our favorite denim lines.  But sometimes they get a little out there.

Check out these new Rock & Republic Neil Death Metal Jeans Death Metal?  Pink?  Huh?

If we were going to design a pair of jeans for men and call them “Death Metal” they’d be grey or black with some skulls or something cool that’s truly “metal”.  They would NOT have a pink logo on the back pockets.  Sorry but….pink is so not metal.  We’re just saying.  

Time to rename these something else.  We know some guys are secure enough to rock a pair of jeans with pink on them, but the words Death Metal will not come to mind when we see you!  :)
