Pucci Does Denim

pucci for seven.jpg
Pucci announced today that it’s got a new partner: Seven for All Mankind.

The denim brand of suburban charmers will produce a jean line for Pucci, with the company’s trademark swirls on the back pockets and curve-hugging cuts to fit the Italian jet set.

The pants - and it’s just pants, at least for now - come in sherbert colors, and shine slightly when photographed.

But despite the ’90s flashback in their shape and sheen, the move could actually get label-obsessed girls to propel Pucci (and Seven) into the Juicy Couture generation. By fusing a modern label with an old-school designer, the companies might have made the perfect product: Jeans that look normal, but come with a high status label.

But with prestige comes price, and this one is huge: The Seven / Pucci jeans will cost $400.

Is it really worth the price, or is colored denim a disposable trend best left to Urbans?

The jeans are tight and stretchy. Very clingy at the butt.

400 for a pair of jeans is nuts. The skinny jeans from Lux that they sell at Urban are by far the best fitting skinny jeans ever. they're really tight, come in a ton of colors and are cheap.

although im drooling over a pair of earnest sewns that are 200ish. i just cant bring myself to buy them, but i know theyre the perfect pair ive been looking for. sigh.

I dont know, the idea sounds cool, but the price and the theory behind it might just bee too much for anyone to want them. And they're coming out in fall? Who's going to want to wear sherbert on their legs then?

Seven did a comp w/ Azzedine Alaia earlier this year and the jeans were fab- get so many compliments on them (even though Seven is super played out and now the go to for soccer moms). Got them at Barney's for 75% off- so no worries on these. They'll be on sale in no time...
