Jeanius?

Denim , back in a big way this season and worn head-to-toe (dig those denim spats!) should be about blue-collar utilitarianism. So how come poncey fashionistas like Roberto Cavalli insist on tarting up this most democratic of fabrics? For Muppets with more money than marbles, Balmain’s 1980s-style ripped jobs have about as much punk attitude as Ivana Trump. £1060 to look like an Eastern European hooker? Yeh, right!

Soon to set up shop in London, Tom For, he of the curious forehead and perma-open plunge shirt (so alluring on an older gay gentleman, dontcha' think?), is flogging pre-washed men’s jeans in America that, to my eyes, look no better than what’s on offer at Primark. Complete with gold plated button, these $990 leg pulls look like the sort of slacks Donald Trump might wear to go buy Wal-Mart, assuming they come in ostentatious old fart size. Make my denim indigo dyed and shrink-to-fit in the tub like a Wyoming cowboy's every time.
