When we heard Damien Hirst was the guest designer for Levi’s Warhol Factory X collection, we were a little stunned:
Would the starkly morose artist make jeans out of animal hide? Would he glue little shark’s teeth onto each button? Or would he just coat ten pounds of denim in blood?
It turns out his vision was a little safer than that:
He’s taken black denim and grafted them with crystal skulls.
It could be an homage to his $99 million skeleton, or it could just be mass fashion talking:
Like terrycloth sweat suits and bootcuts before it, the skull trend has another few years of playing out to do.
The complete collection debuts at New York Fashion Week, where a Damien Hirst sighting might be even more exciting than the prospect of Sienna…

i dig his art but these jeans remind me of the girls who still wear rhinetones on their jeans (which they may or may not have bedazzled themselves) and i can't fucking stand that look.
