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

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

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!

The Look For Less: Acne Jeans Flaunt Print Skirt

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 03:00:08 PDT

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.

To see the look for less,

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 PDT

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 PDT

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 PDT

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.

How to Wear a Bra Top: 3 Ways to Channel Your Inner Kelly Kapowski

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 22 May 2012 10:27:11 PDT

When we first heard that crop tops (and more specifically, bralets) were going to be big for 2012, we had our reservations - it seemed like a look best suited for outdoor music festivals and costume parties - but after seeing the midriff-baring look on the runways at Dolce & Gabbana, Nina Ricci, Prada, and others, we inevitably changed our tune, and are officially smitten with the idea of unleashing our inner Kelly Kapowski. The trend is rooted in '50s-era screen sirens like Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe, but is also dripping with '90s nostalgia - calling to mind fashion-forward TV characters like Kelly Bundy, Donna Martin, and yes, Ms. Kapowski herself. If you're planning to try the trend this season, here are a few things to consider:

Find the right length for your body (and your confidence level). If you're proud of your tummy, don't be afraid to pick a piece that hits above the belly button. If you're less comfortable showing that much skin, you can still get in on the trend by opting for a top that bares just a sliver of your belly and comes in below your midriff.
Keep it sophisticated. Yes, this trend is inherently sexy and will veer on the side of flirtatious no matter what, but there are ways to go about it that will help you look more retro pinup than '80s video vixen. Wear your crop top with a high-waisted skirt (like we saw at Acne, Prada, and Emilio Pucci), or a navel-grazing pair of jeans or shorts (just see Preen and Proenza Schouler for stylish examples). You can also layer it up with a fitted blazer, sweet cardigan, or cool leather jacket. This will ensure that you keep things classy while staying on the sultry side of things.
Be prepared to turn heads. Whether you pair your bralet with hot pants or a maxi skirt, be forewarned: you will get attention - so be sure to throw your shoulders back and revel in it!
Now that you're up to speed on baring your middle, click through to see three ways to wear the crop top this season.
