Celeb Denim - Victoria Beckham / Superfine

Victoria Beckham gets a load of stick for her fashion sense and I can understand why. She looks like she must spend weeks studying every single fashion magazine before deciding which outfit to wear that day. However one thing she does always manage to get right is her jeans. In the photo above she is seen looking stunning (at least from the waist down) in an pair of Superfine Wax Jeans. Not so sure about the fisherman's jumper and cap though.

People's Liberation For Tommy Lee

Last week Tommy Lee was in Bloomingdales promoting his new People's Liberation For Tommy Lee Jeans. These days having your own line of jeans is just another celebrity brand extension like the latest movie, album, reality tv program, fragrance and biography. I don't necessarily have a problem with this when it looks some thought has gone into the jeans - like with Justin Timberlake's William Rast collection. However from the look of these jeans Tommy must have spent all of half an hour working on them. There is nothing interesting about them whatsoever, all they seem to have done is taken a couple of Tommy's tattoos and used them for the back pocket design. Not only are these some of the the lamest celebrity jeans I have come across, I would say they are not even the best line of jeans by a member of Motley Crue!

Lindsay Lohan & Her Denim Shorts

Lindsay Lohan can't get enough of denim shorts at the moment. In the last week she has been seen out in no less than three different pairs. In the photo above she is seen leaving the gym in a slouchy pair of Siwy Denim Camilla Shorts. A couple of days later she wore a different more dressed up pair of shorts to the Genetic Denim First Anniversary Party. The same pair also appeared in a Terry Richarson photoshoot for GQ. And in the final picture below she carrying a copy of Vogue and wearing what looks like a homemade pair of cut offs.

Celebrity Denim Overdose - Genetic Denim

It doesn't take a genius to work out that if you are a new denim brand the best way to ensure maximum publicity is to get some Hollywood hottie to squeeze herself into your jeans. Genetic Denim took this principle to its logical conclusion and invited a boatload of celebrity party girls to their One Year Anniversary Party. Guests included Jamie-Lynn Sigler of The Sopranos (see above), Ashlee Simpson, Michelle Trachtenberg, Kristin Cavallari and inevitably Lindsay Lohan. There is something about this company that doesn't quite ring true, they actually seem more like a party company that makes a few jeans rather than a jeans company that throws the occasional party. Even their own website has more photos of the parties they have thrown than the jeans they have produced - which must tell you something.

Denim Crimes - Scarlett Johansson

Like many people when I watched Lost In Translation I fell in love with Scarlett Johansson or at least the character she played. Since then I pretty much she figured she could do no wrong (although let's not mention The Island). However there is no forgiving the horrendous pair of high-waisted jeans that she modelled at an Imitation Of Christ catwalk show. It just goes to show that the wrong pair of jeans can even make one of the most beautiful women in the world look dumpy and ordinary.

Siwy Jeans - Celeb Favourite

Siwy Jeans have only been going for a 18 months but the celebrity following they have built up in that time is already pretty substantial. Recent converts to these figure hugging jeans include Rachel Bilson seen above in Siwy Rose Drainpipes and Kate Moss in Siwy Black Hannah Slip Crops. You can get an even better idea of how well these jeans fit from this promotional video and if you are interested in how they are made then this video shows the amount of work that goes into creating each pair of jeans.
