Fake faded Jeans

Now, I've never been much of a fashion victim, sorry, dedicated follower of fashion and everytime fashion trends happen I steer well clear of them. My most favourite clothing trend to avoid has been the fake faded jeans epidemic; You know, the jeans that look worn, lived in, used, like someone has had an active life, done things...

Fake, all fake. That biker/metal group of friends I used to hang out with as a babe in arms bought me up with the attitude of the "originals" - jeans that you worked and played in. The jeans never got washed and had a real character (life!) of their own.

Now, 2004/2005 step in Howies, "Cardigan Bay's third-largest clothing company". They summed it up a good and proper when they said, in their Autumn/Winter catalogue...

"We think a jean's history should be created by the person wearing them and not a chemical process in a factory"

Ha. What say, fake jeans wearing person? Image is nothing, Life is Everything.

Just out of interest, did you see what Howies had to put up with from the denim nazis

Oh and, checking out to see who else mirrored my sentiments, someone else thought that faded jeans are for assholes though whether they saw Abercrombie & Fitch's HUGE collection of fake worn denim at as much as $125 a pop I don't know.
