TEN PAIRS OF CRAZY JEANS FOR A TASTE OF LOUD LUXURY

Eckhaus Latta jeans have become a defining aspect of the New York City–based brand’s collections. Singular personality comes in the form of unusual washes, dyes, and coats, perfectly exemplified by this pair of wide-leg jeans. Enzyme-washed, overdyed, and foil-coated, they have a metallic sheen and punchy orange palette.

Named after the iconic Manhattan nightclub, AREA’s designs directly reference the clothing that made the club an ’80s style hub. The Sunray Jeans feature a flared, wide leg detailed with undulating stripes. An oversize silver-tone button fastening rounds out the design, which brims with confidence.

Dries Van Noten is a master of designing wearable clothes. Soft color palettes and relaxed tailoring have always been anchors for the Belgian designer’s style. Even when working with bold patterns, Dries Van Noten finds a way—with a straight leg and black backdrop—to soften the visual blow.

From Martin Margiela to Virgil Abloh, the concept of turning a garment inside out and showing its inner workings has been explored by many names in luxury fashion. Korean label Andersson Bell follows in the footsteps, inverting this pair of flared women’s jeans to make the seams and pockets the central outward details.

“K-pop artists contact me quite frequently. They usually request bold, loud clothes, and I love working with them,” says Gerrit Jacob, talking to SSENSE. It’s no wonder that Gerrit Jacob has become the purveyor of the bold and colorful in luxury fashion, thanks to the designer’s unmistakable airbrushed creations like these graphic jeans.

Combining a laser-printed graphic pattern with a characteristically hypnotic construction of twisted seams, this pair of Mugler jeans brings a new angle to the classic stonewashed denim that inspired it.

NEEDLES’s H.D. fit has been particularly popular in tracksuit form, offering dramatically relaxed tailoring that suits the slouchy materials of sportswear. Here, the loose-fitting silhouette comes in denim form, with a graphic pattern that jumps from the classic indigo-dyed cotton.

VETEMENTS leans into the Y2K look with this pair of wildly loose-fitting jeans. Contrasting against the light denim upper part is a jet-black flame print that starts at the hem and reaches up to the thigh.

Andersson Bell’s creativity knows no bounds, especially when denim is involved. The men’s Milly Jeans feature a denim skirt sewn on top of a pair of black jeans. The lower leg of the black underlayer can be detached to alter the silhouette for even more impact.

With Maximilian Davis at the helm, Ferragamo has entered a bold new era that speaks to a younger customer. While the label will always have one foot in classic luxury, items like these gold coated jeans show that there’s an evolution underway at the house, and the future looks very bright.
