VEGA JEANS

RICK OWENS SS26 TEMPLE  VEGA JEANS IN BLACK DEEP BLACK STRETCH DENIM

THESE VEGA JEANS ARE ANKLE LENGTH, 6 POCKET JEAN WITH  ZIPPERS THAT OPEN FROM THE SHIN, GOING ALL THE WAY UP THE SIDE SEAM TO POCKET HEIGHT. THEY CAN BE UNZIPPED TO COMPLETELY REVEAL THE LEG.

THIS LIGHTWEIGHT DEEP BLACK DENIM IS MADE ON A 10OZ BLACK AND NATURAL STRETCH DENIM. THE READY GARMENT IS OVERDYED BLACK AND THEN A DEEP BLACK WAX IS APPLIED IN A THICK LAYER BY HAND.

THIS GARMENT IS TREATED IN AN ITALIAN WASH HOUSE BASED IN THE VENETO AREA OF ITALY, THAT PRODUCES IN SMALLER TREATMENT BATHS TO REDUCE WATER WASTE AND UTILIZE A WATER PURIFYING PROCESS THAT ENABLES THEM TO RECYCLE A PORTION OF THE WATER USED. ALL OF OUR DENIM WASHES ARE ZDHC CERTIFIED.

THIS ITEM IS PART OF THE RICK OWENS COLLABORATION WITH NEW YORK PUNK DUO SUICIDEBANDOFFICIAL AND FEATURES A SIGNATURE LABEL ON THE INTERIOR.

THE BAND PIONEERED THE USE OF MINIMALIST ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION DURING THE 1970S. THE RAW, DISTURBING SOUND AND THREATENING, CHAOTIC LIVE SHOWS OF VOCALIST ALAN VEGA AND MUSICIAN MARTIN REV WERE MET WITH HOSTILITY EARLY ON — THEY WERE CONSIDERED OUTSIDERS AMONG THEIR CONTEMPORARIES AND LARGELY VILIFIED, BUT THEIR INFLUENCE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT IN THE DECADES SINCE. I USED THEIR SONG CHEREE FOR ONE OF MY FIRST RUNWAY SHOWS AND NOW I HAVE DEVELOPED A CAPSULE COLLECTION WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE BAND, REFERENCING THEIR DESTROYED, DECONSTRUCTED LEATHERS, TAILORED JKTS, AND ATHLETIC TRACK TOPS.
