Denim on the Runway: Cheap Monday

Earlier this year Ann-Sophie Back became creative director at Cheap Monday and now we get to see the results of that pairing in Cheap Mondays Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Although not directly responsible for denim, she does have the role of creating a stronger identity for the brand. From her namesake collection, we already knew that Back likes to destroy denim, so it was no surprise to see jeans that were hanging on by a thread. What interested us the most was the layering upon layering of denim 80's hobo style and it just gets more interesting as the eye goes down. Notice the denim 'leg warmers' in all their frayed and bleached out glory, but it doesn't end there. Drop the eyes even lower and we have denim gladiators that manage to be just as frayed and destroyed as the denim above. We declare, Success!
