If you go back a few years, if you had rips or tears in your jeans its a sign of the jeans age. Those are tears and rips caused due to being worn...which is the reason you buy jeans in the first place right? So they get ripped, torn, faded and worn out instead of your legs.
What's worse, companies are charging more for the destroyed look. I bid on a pair of Diesel brand jeans that had tags that said they cost $240 retail. Why would you pay that much for jeans when you can get nearly the same quality at Walmart or maybe international clothiers for 1/6th the price? Don't get me wrong; i'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for"; but $240 for pants? c'mon. The current high prices of jeans is just too convenient if you ask me. Now you look like a beggar AND have no money because you gave it to the jeans companies. Good Job.
I do however have a fair amount of respect for the person who came up with the 'destroyed' concept. I believe her myspace name is 'Christine Dolce'. I may be incorrect on that though. I've quickly read up about her(as in spent 2 mins 2 days ago reading her myspace page), and she's done alright for herself; she's a beautiful young woman, she's got 750,000 friends on her myspace account, she's working as a model, has her own line of clothing, has appeared on many talk and fashion shows, and recently was the cover and centerfold for playboy magazine.
Another prolbem is that the person who decided this was a good idea obviously lives in a warm climate year-round. I live in the middle of alberta; the last thing i want is a hole or rip in my pants letting in some of that wonderful -45ºc air floating around outside. The boys may get a little bit upset; if you know what i mean.
Also, i have and issue with the stupid designs and logos seemingly plastered wherever there isn't a 'destroyed bit". I'm going to keep this one brief. Stop making jeans with the fucking lame logos on the back pockets and legs. It looks stupid.
These 'destroyed jeans" will be like bell bottoms of the 60's and 70's, and the ultra tight neon colored jeans of the 80's and early 90's. In 10 or 15 years we will be laughing and joking about how absurd people looked wearing destroyed clothing. At least in the 70's and 80's people looked like they could actually afford clothes; and not have to recycle hand-me-downs from their siblings.
A whole rant about pants and i didn't even make fun of the idoits with the crotch of their pants around their knees. Maybe next time.
