The Goal
- Margiela Jeans, picture: style.com
I fell in love with these jeans when they were shown (September 2007 -ish) for Fashion Week Spring 2008. When I found out they were going to sell for $500, my love affair waned. That’s crazy, $500 for a few threads holding these things together!
In an attempt to get in touch with my inner craftinista, I bought a very cheap pair of jeans from Target and decided to give this look a try. After reading through a couple of tutorials online, I sanded the jeans, then slashed like crazy. They are not terribly close to the runway version, but a few more machine washings will take care of that. Anyway, here is my effort at the Margiela jeans…
The Result
I also wear a top from Target, a Steven Dweck necklace, Alaia wedges, and Hue tights.
