“I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, and simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes. ~ Yves Saint Laurent”.

No longer confined to the working class origins, the haute dungarees are now looked upon as high end apparel being accepted at formal events as well. Thanks to designer brands like Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana, who have made the denims a wardrobe staple for people of all walks of life.

There is a pair for every individual. While you can find a pair of Levi’s jeans for less than $20, Gucci’s ‘Genius Jeans‘ have been cited by Guinness World Records as the most expensive jeans in the world. Gucci’s standard pair of jeans is available at a minimum price of $600. In 1998, Gucci made headlines when their normal pair of distressed, ripped denim was priced at an astonishing $3,134.
