Another day, another designer collaboration.
Alber Elbaz from Lanvin for Acne Jeans.
Everyone’s talking about it. Are you?
I’m not cause it’s just not that exciting to me. What can Alber possibly do to jeans that hasn’t already been done by better designers a million times before?
Maybe I’m just not as much as a sucker, but when a big name designer decides to partner with a company for something as specific as jeanswear, it usually means a bunch of overhyped, overpriced unstylish garbage which shouldn’t be worn by anyone with half a stylish braincell cause a) everyone will be able to identify it, which means b) you’re really starved for attention and c) you have too much money to spend on getting noticed.
So ladies, before you drop $500 for a pair of Acne Jeans (just thinking they’ll be in that range cause of Lanvin’s history) realize that no one thinks you’re as special as you believe yourself to be. Seriously, no one.
