Rihanna can pretty much get away with wearing anything or should I say use to be able to rock anything... except maybe this.
On Monday night Rihanna hit the runway of her River Island launch party in London rocking a pair of her own fashion creations, “double top” jeans, it had heads turning for all the wrong reasons.
The unique waist – which is made to look like two pairs of jeans layered on top of each other – is a cool take on mixing denim. With a huge take on a spring trend, these ready-made double top jeans have an innovative spin on casual dressing to say the least.
But, then again, what do we know?
Jay McCarroll, who won the first season of “Project Runway,” says that “double top” jeans, while not his personal design aesthetic, are already a popular street trend, and that Rihanna’s idea “comes across , refined and actually sort of cute. At the end of the day you can't knock a gal for pursuing any business opportunity that comes her way. I just wish I had this idea ... she's probably going to make a zillion dollars off of those jeans!" He’s not alone with this idea, another member of the show, Michael Costello, is also saying yes to Rihanna’s polarizing look. “I like how she can set trends and make them look so easy to wear when sometimes you see them in a department store and wonder, Who in the world would wear that?" “Rihanna, I believe, is really a style icon and pushes the boundaries of fashion and adds her own eclectic unique style and personality to everything she does including her fashion line. If you ask me, the double jeans work for her.”
However, Costello adds that this doesn’t mean they’d look the same way on the everyday woman. “The cut of the jeans is more likely to accommodate women who are a size 0-2,” he explains. “Even if they are a loose-fit denim cut jean, the design is implicated to compliment the model body.”
That would explain why the “double top” jeans, which retail for $150, are sold-out on River Island’s website through size 10 U.K., which in America translates to sizes 2, 4, and 6.
What do you think of the “double top” look? And would you pay that kind of money for this fad?
Do you think Chris Brown should regulate or will you advocate?Jay McCarroll
I like the topic you chose to write about, it's very different from others that I've seen. Personally I don't think she can pull that off it looks rather ugly for a lack of better words. I like how you brought in the originality of where the 'double-top jeans' actually come from and show credibility of your topic.
ReplyDeleteThanks yo, seems as if my first respons did not save to this blog post... :( Anywho, Im no fan of most of the "fashion" that artist bring to the table but just my take...
DeleteThanks again tho.
Hi love, I like the way you explain this topic.
ReplyDeleteIf you have added a youtube clip, it would make it more vivid because the youtube on itself should explain the whole concept about double top Jean, I think that it should better if you had started with your assertion or your thesis and than explain or Connote it. Since it is a blogspot, it doesn’t need to be appeared as a formal essay. What do you think of not color words in it? You end your blog with a question, but in the blog you denied assert your, I cannot figure out what you stand for.I suggest that you should tell your audience if you are against it or not, don’t forget it always good to express your own experience as example. I have twelve bloodspots, check them out for more detail or understanding wilnor-jean@blogspot.com (perception: one man view)
Hello, right back at you...
DeleteThere was no real plot to have a thesis. This post was more to show and share a small portion of your opinion of the trend. I.E. the questions at the very end. The color words (links) are for your further inquiry of the people who help make this trend be supported. Per the post, imp not standing for anything, just asking for your opinoin of the trend and as you missed but I stated "If you ask me, the double jeans work for her".
Thank you for the interest that you’ve shown in responding to my post and please come back and visit sometime.
