For the affluent Kamikaze, here it comes: word is Tom Ford unveiled a new pair of jeans priced at $990. That would get you a special type of Japanese denim, silk lined pockets and 18 karats gold plated front buttons. The interesting thing is that they come in generic boot cut or straight leg style, nothing special. At least with the current price of Gold, you can always melt the buttons when times get hard.
I mention it because some people I know are already raving about how cool it is, and how they could impress their friends with it. I am all for exclusivity and opulence or what have you. I am sure many fashionistas will go for this and enjoy the feeling of superiority confered by wearing such a pricey item. However, in this day and age I really think restraint is the name of the game. I have mixed feelings about this. What do you think: Yes? No? Maybe?
