Summer 2011 & The Denim Cutoffs

At one point in my life, Daisy Duke was a hero, right along with Jem, She-Ra and G.I. Jane. Needless to say in real life , apparel that had a super hero quality always had my heart. This past summer from what we’ve seen in our neck of the woods, Daisy would have been proud as women all over New York City  have embraced  the denim cutoffs with passion. Seeing the trend play out was kind of amazing. Standing on any given corner of downtown New York it was almost like  seeing a uniform worn  in unlimited variations.

On the shopping side   fashion houses like Balmain  heard the love loud and clear  and provided their  “Daisy Dukes De Luxe’  while other labels like Bitching Junk Food  took the customization route using of course the iconic Levi’s to create unique cutoffs. It’s getting colder but the look is still surviving with tights(!) Cannot wait to see how they do next summer.  The photo above by  Steven Meiers (cdfd) kind of tells the story pretty well…
