In the dynamic world of fashion, things are always changing; the designers constantly want to push boundaries and challenge what is considered normal or conventional in terms of style. They do this by either dressing people in clothes that appear to be see-through or embracing the ugly. Innovation breeds controversy within any industry, but that’s especially true for fashion.
Right now everyone is talking about a certain brand called Jordanluca who has come out with what can only be described as “pee stain denim.” Let’s take some time to unpack this trend which is breaking all the rules.
Debut of the Controversial Denim: Fall/Winter 2023 Runway
For Fall/Winter 2023 Luca Marchetto and Jordan Bowen unveiled their ‘Stain Stonewash Jeans’ during London Fashion Week. The dark crotch area looks like it’s been marked with urine but it hasn’t; this was designed this way on purpose. People were left asking why would anyone deliberately put such a thing into existence? What message are they trying get across?
Luxury or Lunacy? The Price Tag
However, once people got past being shocked or feeling disgusted at themselves for liking something so wrong- these pants became an overnight sensation and quickly garnered attention for its bold statement and unique craftsmanship. Priced originally at $811 USD and then dropping down slightly cheaper ($608) for lighter washes- these jeans sought after more than any other item this season because of its radical approach towards luxury clothing.

Another questioned, “Who would buy a pair of these, and why?”
