Customized jeans with destroyed effect
In the 1980s everybody used to wear torn dyed jeans and complain
on crisis and recession. Today the crisis is back as well as the
fashion of the 1980s. Everybody wears large shoulderpads, black
color and customized jeans which look as if they have been locked
in the closet for the last twenty years.
The 1980s used to be the most important theme in fashion of 2009 and
stay for the new season of 2010. Most deja vus can be found particularly
in denim fashion. A vintage torn, worn and used look is here on the top
as well as dyed pants and jackets. The key words of modern fashion are “stone-washed”,
“moon-washed” and “acid-washed”. Sounds familiar? No wonder, for these terms were
extremely popular twenty years ago in connection with fashionable subculture jeans.
Global crisis brings another reminder of the 1980s era – denim fashion trends.

Unusually washed denim, frayed or torn surface returns to us. After many seasons ruled
by dark smooth-looking denim in skinny jeans models designers find inspiration in destroyed
look, deliberately created on jeans, t-shirts and accessories. It brings a fresh wind into
spring and summer collections of the coming season and is definitely here to stay.
Destroyed trends are revealed especially strong in bleached jeans models which look practically
white. Destroyed effects have already become a statement in world fashion building a marked
contradiction towards the rather formal and simple fashion of the past. However, today the most
important part of it is not a deliberate damaging of customized denim fabric, but rather natural effects.
The theme of “your favorite jeans” is becoming important as well. High-quality exemplars with
certain authenticity are coming to the front, not just used denim. A little patina on jeans creates
a desired effect as well. To achieve this jeans undergo acid-wash and wash with enzymes, chemical
processes which result into bleaching of denim color. After this jeans look as if they have been
worn and washed for many-many times.

Another fashionable technique of design custom jeans treatment is “Crimpereffect” which creates
irregular wrinkles in denim structure. Jeans treated with this method also look used and worn and
gain the desired crash effect. “Punkwashed”-style jeans with white chloride stains and batik-optic,
also worn back in the 1980s are today presented in many collections of the coming season. However,
now they are combined rather with neutrally looking t-shirts and not with extra-large neon-colored
monsters of the past. Thanks God!

Well-established jeans brands like Diesel, True Religion and Replay accentuate stone-washed effects
in their latest collections. Some jeans models are also additionally worn on the knees. Strellson brand
combines these vintage looks with modern materials. Thus jeans pants with paint stains, worn parts and
used-effect make a contrast to smooth surfaces like nylon and chintz.
But not only washes of jeans remind us of the 1980s era. The cuts of the 1980s are this year newly interpreted.
Especially popular are the so-called “carrot jeans”, remember? Wide in the waist part and tapered at the bottom,
these jeans are best of all combined with oversize-blazers with huge shoulderpads.
To make your 1980s look complete denim jackets, denim vests and denim overalls return to us as well! So you can easily
put on old clothes pieces of your parents from the basement and still look fashionable!
