Fashion That Makes Us Sad: $2,000 Jeans!

Fab Community — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Check out Shahrzaad's retail rant about expensive designer jeans in our Fashion Stylist group. I feel you, girl.

Just last week we read that the price of designer denim was dropping. Granted, many big name jeans still sell for $200, and some people rationalize that price for a basic wardrobe staple they wear several times a week. I myself have fallen victim to fashion stupidity and shelled out over $200 on Sass & Bide jeans. They're gray stretch denim, and are my favorite pair I've ever owned. Maybe after wearing them for four years non-stop, I might get my money's worth. Though I'm not the type of person who has 40 pairs of jeans, I have about six and wear them to death, so I don't mind spending a little more. That said, the most recent pair I bought cost $70. It is a recession after all! So imagine how annoyed I was to see this new pair of jeans by Acne, adorned with some type of modern body armor, selling for $2,000. Those ridiculous things had better protect you - they cost more than several months rent!

If you're online today (hi), you may have picked up on the fact that it is Cyber Monday. If you chilled out on Friday, rather than tackling Black Friday, there are lots more shopping deals to be had. I went through some of my favorite sites and was alerted to some deep Cyber Monday deals. You saw my December most wanted this morning, but here are some more covetable items - all on sale. Don't forget you can visit SaleHabit.com for the motherload of sales. Come sale away!

The Look For Less: Acne Jeans Flaunt Print Skirt

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 03:00:08 -0700

Most people like to wear short skirts in the Summer, but I prefer to wear mine in the Winter. It's obviously cold, but I wear them with super cozy tights and presto, problem solved. This Acne Jeans Flaunt Print Skirt ($399) would go perfectly with a pair of black tights and oxford booties. I love the voluminous pouf and abstract print. But check out that price tag. Um, I don't think so.

I love how Urban Outfitters comes through with couture looks without charging a bundle. This Silence and Noise Watercolor Skirt ($68) delivers the same amount of puff and artistic quality. Pair it with a slouchy sweater and you're good to go.

Behind the Seams: Lanvin and Acne Jeans Blue Soiree

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

We got word a while back that Alber Elbaz was working on a Lanvin denim collection with Acne Jeans. At last the collaboration has come to fruition and where there's a new collection, there's a party. Eva Mendes, Liv Tyler, and Rachel Zoe all put on something blue and celebrated alongside Alber Elbaz at Hotel de Crillon in Paris (where the Crillon Ball was held on The Hills). Lucky ducks! There were balloons floating, models in denim roaming, and lots of posing. Step inside the fabulous shindig.

On Our Radar: Alber Elbaz To Do Lanvin Jeans

FabSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 03:00:08 -0700

We all love those exquisite Lanvin party frocks, but how about something more wearable for the everyday?

That's just what Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz has in mind. He's in talks to create his first jeans line together with Acne Jeans. While no contract has been signed yet, Alber already has visions of Lanvin jeans in a variety of styles debuting in 2009: "What if you don't want to wear a skinny jean? It's time to go back to a product that has a dream to it. It's being created out of a need." And that's that.

Designer Spotlight: Acne Jeans

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Before discovering Acne Jeans, the only thing I associated acne to was a face. It's a cheeky name for a jean and women's/men's clothing company because it's attention grabbing. The brand was founded in 1997 when 100 pairs of jeans were designed and distributed to friends, family and clients. That's a generous gift!

Before they knew it, stores wanted to carry the denim with bright red stitching. The first official collection was launched in 1998 and creative director Jonny Johansson has worked to make the brand the success it is today. Besides jeans, the company also offers a women's collection, men's collection and accessories.

Retail prices for women's denim run from $200 and up; the women's collection is equally pricey.

Fashionable Folks Flock to France for the Couture Shows

PopSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:30:00 -0700

The season's couture shows started yesterday in Paris, and like last year, lots of gorgeous women headed to the city of lights to take in the beautiful sights. Liv Tyler, Janet Jackson, and Eva Mendes chose between the Christian Lacroix, Givenchy, Chanel and Armani shows, as did fashion insiders like Anna Wintour and Claudia Schiffer. Liv and Eva joined up again last night to let off some steam at the Blue Soirée, a party hosted in honor of Lanvin's collaboration with Acne jeans. The ladies looked just as lovely as the clothes they wore - and make sure to check out all of Fab's coverage of the runway shows!
