Designer Jeans

Designer jeans. Years ago it used to be a contradiction of terms, you either were wearing designer or you were wearing jeans. Now designer jeans are EVERYWHERE. Department stores have created new departments just to house the hundreds upon hundreds of different designer jeans that can cost from slightly over $100 to almost $1000. I even walked into a Macy's recently and right into their new "Status Denim" department. There is even a company in New York (APO Jeans) that will make a custom pair of jeans for you for $4,000.

Sadly, sometimes you are just paying for some designer to slap his/her name on a crappy pair of denim dungaries the were made for $2 in China/India/Indonesia. BUT, most true designer denim is actually worth the price. I love jeans. More specifically, I love Rock and Republic jeans, they are my absolute favorite when it comes to jeans, designer or not. As with any brand, some designer jeans fit your body type perfectly and some just don't work. Quite honestly, I was a non-believer in spending upword of $200 for a pair of jeans, until I effortlessly slipped and fell into a beautiful pair of Rock and Republics. Now I'm hooked.

Do you believe in designer denim? What are your favorite jeans brand(s), and why?
