Today’s post is dedicated to outré denim trends, such as the recently resurrected acid wash, or “Snow Denim”, as Fellow Fashionista and South African native FashionAbility calls the look pictured at right. Whether perforated, painted, destroyed, bleached, backward, or stonewashed, jeans are taking a beating, and the effects range from radiant to repulsive…

How do you feel about these denim trends, darlings? What’s the craziest pair of jeans you own?

Thanks, darlings!
Leese - your comments always brighten my day :)

HG: you must restart your blog; I have gone into withdrawal. Very clever about the CCCth!
xoxox,
CC
mm, i have to say i don't really like jeans! but this post is definitely inspiring, as always (:
i really really like the Ruffian look and, of course, Balmain!
amazin Junya Watanabe
I recently found an old pair of Levi's that is just perfect as a boyfriend jean so I'm gonna keep it this winter. Congratulation for the 300th post. I forgot to mention my 400th so I guess I will wait until the 500th!
congrat CC on the 300th post.
I just adore denims... my favorite piece is a chanel denim jacket.
Denim trends crack me up. Or, the attitudes towards wearers of denim crack me up. Remember how everyone would NEVER wear acid wash again, NEVER wear skinny jeans, NEVER wear baggy jeans, NEVER wear high waists, and on and on and on. The next person who claims she will NEVER do a certain style again will get bitchslapped by me.
thanks cc! congrats on 300! i'm adding you to my blogroll if you don't mind :)
Congrats! Love the Balmain collection, jeans included!
Congrats CC on the CCCth post ;)
I remember I've had at least one pair of “Snow Denim” at the 80's... I wonder if I should wear them again as they say if you wore it first...
Nice pictures, my dear.
xoxo
i love every balmain election!!!
do you like vintage?
VINTAGe earrings in sale, they have been purchased in local markets of PARIS,BARCELONA, MADRID..and ITALY each piece that i bought has a small story. so delightful for fans of vintage and unique pieces...
300!!! Wowza... you're a log Rockstar!!
So I have to say... I'm deeply in love the Siwy Hannah bleach pattern ankle jeans (sigh)! And who caould ever resist Balmain's style godliness!
Congrats on your 300th post!
As for jeans trends, I personally don't get the skinny jeans look. Not everyone can wear them! I find boot-cut and flare much more flattering.
congrats on the 300post!!! been wonderful 300 post :)
love acid wash jeans!!! searching for a great pair!
have a wonderful weekend! xoxo
i loveee acidwashed jeans
Congrats on the 300th!!
I love all the jeans featured here but as much as I love denim on other people, I don't love it on me :( I just wasn't built for jeans (despite that fact, I'm still lusting over a pair of highwasited flares....)
Well, it was only a matter of time before these hit it big again!
Congratulations on 300, CC!
Denim I do adore.
The Balmain ones are really good!
300! That's quite an achievement, CC. Well done. Having a drink for us at all?
Not my thing I'm afraid, those snow denims....

I like the Watanabe and the Balmain (styled *just like that*) but can't bear acid wash otherwise. You have to get the wash *exactly right* so it doesn't look cheesy or mumsy . . .
Congrats on 300--doesn't it fly by?!
Congrats on your first 300! A perfect flashback post to celebrate. Looking forward to the next 300.
xoxo
I've been meaning to throw some bleach on a pair of my jeans...this reminded me. Need to get on that!!
