Oooooh! I’m sensing another high-end cat fight, y’all! Remember the good ol days when the Beckhams and the Cruises were BFF’s and did everything together? I am sure Posh and Katie even traded Birkins once or twice. But ever since the ugliness with UK Vogue last year, the two have had somewhat of a fashion rivalry and the BFF status seems to have lost its status quo. Here is Katie Holmes seen in a recent fashion *term used loosely* trend, as she has been out and about New York City all summer long sporting this look. Yes, Katie is desperate to bring the Wham days back it seems, with rolled up cuffs and loose ‘boyfriend style’ jeans. The truth is, these are more ‘husband’ style for Katie as she has been trying to revive this look, knowing that she IS a trendsetter, with hubby Tom Cruise’s jeans. Why rolled up? Because well, he’s height challenged when it comes to Katie Holme’s length. And so she rolled them up, got a lot of talk about the look, and decided, so what, she’s going for it. But even Project Runway has slammed her for this look, yet she STILL thinks she can bring it back. And she is going to prove that point by starting up her own denim line that mirrors this look. And she expects and hopes that it will rival Victoria Beckham’s, cuz she just thinks that they’re that much cuter. At present, Katie has about four prototypes for the line, and they all embody this relaxed fit, a term I am using which actually means frumpy and baggy. Many retailers refer to this look as the ‘boyfriend’ look. I can see it catching on only because many people will want to wear jeans that Katie designed, but this is by no means a trend that will last. Sorry Katie, pairing heels with jeans that make you look fat doesn’t slim you out. And this won’t work very well with the general public. It will create a buzz though, though I am not so sure the buzz will be enough to squeeze out the dVB line, a very well recognized and LOVED denim brand.
