Trend: Denim Nation
Get ready for a blue crush.
December 2009
The spring collections offered plenty of jean therapy, with no two
designers striking the same bluesy chord. D&G went all-out country with
its Wild West extravaganza—kicked up a sexy, ruffled notch, of
course—while DSquared2 featured paint-dipped pieces in hunting-inspired
Day-Glo hues. Ralph Lauren, meanwhile, added a shot of glitz to the
tattered look. But homebodies can show their jean spirit too, thanks to
Blinkonmynose’s punky yet plush denim pillows.
