Mixed reactions have trailed Italian luxury fashion brand Gucci’s new line of products for Fall 2020. Gucci released a pair of jeans and a pair of jeans overalls “specifically treated for a stained-like, distressed effect.” They cost $765 and $1,400 respectively. “Channelling the Fall Winter 2020 collection’s grunge vibe, this wide-leg denim pant is crafted from organic cotton specifically treated for a stained-like, distressed effect,” the Gucci website reads. “Gucci explores new takes on the cult fabric, reinterpreting it with different designs and washing techniques that blur the line between vintage and contemporary.” Many argue that rather than spend the “exorbitant amount” on the jeans, they could easily go to their garden with a clean pair of jeans and get the same effect in seconds.
