Surprise! The premium denim market was overinflated. “Charging $600 for jeans for no reason at all — those days are over,” You Nguyen of Levi’s told the New York Times. Ridiculous, right? You can buy a whole Where the Wild Things Are jumpsuit for that. Much more sensible. [NYTimes]

Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce took a trip to the O.K. Corral for their Spring 2010 D&G collection. There were plenty of ripped jeans and snap-up denim shirts, but more than cowboy chic, this was high-noon Wild West camp:

What is the one thing that comes close to giving you the same high you experience after purchasing fab designer clothing for yourself?  Purchasing fab designer clothing for your little ones of course!  If you’ve seen Suri, Kingston, Apple or Maddox wearing something ultra-cool, chances are you’ll find it at Amylou Boutique (2325 Rabbit Hill Rd., 780-432-3534, amylouboutique.com).

Every woman has that go-to pair of jeans that makes her feel sexy. Mine are called (hilariously enough) “the walk of shame.” The only problem is, I’ve loved them so much that both knees have worn out and there are other glaring signs of: “WARNING! These jeans may give way at the most inopportune moment.”

The fashion crowd is just saying no to perfect, dark denim in favour of the faded, bleach stained and wrecked up. (See: Balmain)

We could never get away with wearing drop-crotch denim, but we respect a Lovely who can.
