Levi Strauss & Co. was created in 1871. It was made of coarse cotton fabric with metal rivets.

These jeans were created for miners, cowboys and men of other professions, which implied a long and hard work, as a result of which the clothes became very dirty.

But jeans became popular only in the 1950s, when teenagers began to wear them. Ironically, today many people consider jeans a symbol of well-being.

Throughout their history, jeans have evolved from a working class suit to designer clothes, and in this collection you can find out about the 10 most expensive jeans that have ever been sold and are on sale.

The most expensive things in the world

10. Jeans by Alexander McQueen.

This fashion house made dresses for Katherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, but he specializes not only in dresses, but also in other clothes, including jeans. In 2017, the fashion house released a new collection, which includes a pair of jeans with embroidery, the cost of which is $ 2 165.

4. Jeans by Dolce & Gabbana

A Dolce & Gabbana women's jeans collection called Boyfriend Fit Jeans With Jewel Application from the 2017 summer collection costs $ 4,495.

The first pair of blue jeans was made at Levy Strauss & Co. in 1871. Thick denim work pants with metal rivets were created for cowboys, miners, lumberjacks and other representatives of the “brutal” professions. Dense fabric was supposed to last a long time, despite the most extreme conditions and dirt. However, jeans gained universal popularity only in the 50s of the twentieth century, when teenagers began to wear them everyday. The irony is that initially clothing for the proletariat became the object of attention of the most sought-after designers, and then the rich from all over the world. Here are 25 pairs of jeans, the price of which can surprise anyone.

Guess

Guess are considered fairly affordable jeans

The most ordinary jeans of the base collection of the Guess brand? cost up to 200 US dollars. The "top" line will cost more - from $ 400 and up.

Diesel Boutique

The brand has long been known for its chic jeans: the quality of the cut, the uniqueness of the models and the “indestructibility” created a cult around Diesel. Men's models from the NARROT collection for 2017 cost $ 555. The most expensive pair "Diesel" was sold for $ 15,600.

Flares are back in fashion!

A pair of Stella McCartney flared jeans are a really good buy (although the same can be found in parents' gear). But their price is $ 735.

$ 2,000 leather pants

Imagine: Micheal Kors has pink leather jeans worth $ 2,054. It is unlikely that the average layman can afford such (and it’s not even the price, but their very peculiar appearance).

Prints for every taste at sky-high prices

French designer Isabelle Maran created her brand in 1994. The clothes created by her combine the brightness and some glamor of the 90s with the business femininity of the minimalism of our time. An average pair of Isabel Marant jeans costs $ 1,500.

Label on Original Valentino Jeans

A pair of Valentino Rockstud Untitled jeans will cost you $ 1,195. For this amount, you can rent a studio apartment for a month in Denver, Colorado (a fairly large city, by the standards of the United States). In smaller American cities, you can rent an entire house that comfortably accommodates a family of five.

On real jeans from Roberto Cavalli there should be such a patch (and a snake on a button)

As you know, everything that appeared in the series “Sex and the City” is becoming the desire of millions of fashionistas and women of fashion. Roberto Cavalli jeans are no exception. A pair of pants from the same denim as “Levis” from this brand (only with gems) will cost you $ 1,200.

Escada and Swarovski - together more expensive

Escada began manufacturing jeans in 1978. And with success makes them still. To order, the fashion designers of this brand will create for you a unique pair with Swarovski crystals “only” for 10,000 US dollars.

Dolce & Gabbana embroidery on jeans of a new collection

Modern pair of jeans by Levi Strauss

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the most expensive jeans were sold in 2005 for 60,000. It was a pair of original Levi’s created by Levi Strauss himself in the early twentieth century. The safety of these pants is due to the fact that they have never been washed.

Secret circus

Here are the most expensive jeans in the world.

Secret Circus knows a lot about luxury: their jeans with diamonds cost $ 1,250,000 a pair. It is scary to imagine what needs to be done to buy them.

The desire for luxury is growing in humanity every year. It is possible that in the near future it will be possible to buy one pair of jeans for the annual budget of a small country. But they will be able to cook, clean and order things from the Internet with home delivery. If only they did not start an uprising.

Today, a girl in ripped jeans sat next to me in the subway. Two huge holes gaped on her lap, apparently specially torn, with tattered rags hanging around the edges. The girl is pretty, with a neat haircut, makeup, in a new pink jacket. And suddenly - ripped jeans. From my point of view, this is a paradox. This is not the first time I have seen torn pants, and I am always amazed. How can it be that people specifically tear clothes and put on themselves later? It is not beautiful, even ugly, one might say. But why is it worn? What is the answer to the riddle?

Among my friends there are no people wearing torn clothes. I try to ask the all-knowing Google. I enter the query “Why are ripped jeans worn?”. On the first page of the search engine, sites appear on which no one doubts that it is worth wearing jeans with holes in your lap. They advertise with might and main, encouraging buyers. They write that (I quote): " Ripped jeans they prefer to wear bold and extraordinary personalities. ”,“ Torn jeans look original, bold and attractive. ”,“ They are loved not only by young people who want to stand out, but also by everyone who likes originality and originality in clothes. ” Maybe this is the key to understanding - the desire to stand out, originality. It definitely turns out to stand out, but, in my opinion, for the worse. Some courage is also needed here. Not everyone wants to get into torn. At the expense of originality, I would argue. Holes on the knees - this is no longer original, would it be necessary to think of something else, can start not only tearing clothes, but also dirtying them or spraying them with something smelly? At the expense of attractiveness - I doubt very much, perhaps, only for mosquitoes, bare knees will seem attractive.

There are opinions more ridiculous. "Ripped jeans emphasize femininity and allow you to demonstrate the virtues of the figure." “This choice is suitable for courageous people who want to add a fraction of eroticism and freedom to their image.” Is it in the knee area you have the main advantages of a female figure and eroticism? Freedom is also not very clear in relation to holes cut in the lap. That is, the jeans were stinging at the knees, we cut them, freeing our legs a little? Or even a lot, as in this picture.

It is interesting that everyone who supports this fashion also offers people to make holes on new jeans themselves. I read on one of the sites: “Such jeans can be very expensive. But you can make holes with your own hands. ” It turns out that ripped jeans are more expensive than new ones, so fans of money are taught to make various holes with their own hands. This is by the way not so simple, especially if you tear both legs across the entire front surface of the pants.

Even tips on when and with what to wear ripped jeans began to appear on the Internet. On one site they write, for example: “many girls successfully wear jeans with tears to work, combining them with a white shirt and fitted jacket. If the pants have a small number of slots, then they can successfully fit into the business style. They may have minor patches, small holes and scuffs. ”

What will fashion historians say about our time? What was not in the history of fashion: powdered wigs, creole, maxi skirts, mini skirts, bikinis, pipe pants, flared pants. In the 21st century, people exhausted all their imagination, could not come up with anything new, and began to wear trousers with large holes in their lap. Although ... Perhaps it is the history of styles that can give an answer to the riddle. A search for "the history of ripped jeans" gives the theory that this ripped style appeared among rock musicians of the 70s, who thereby wanted to destroy stereotypes of both music and clothing. This style was adopted by young people, also protesting against standard. So with ripped jeans began a protest, rebellion. Iroquois, tattoos, bare feet looked logical with them. But this is a story. Nowadays, looking at girls, and not even very young ladies in high heels, in silk blouses and ripped jeans, there is no thought of rebellion. There is a thought about herd feeling. When one sheep leads everyone somewhere to the abyss.

The riddle of torn trousers remained a mystery to me. And most importantly, I could not find at least some criticism of this modern fashion on the Internet. I remember people used to often criticize women's fashion - mini skirts and bikini swimwear, for example. Now, it seems everyone doesn't care. Or did they all conspire to support this trend? Is all this also invented solely for making money, profit? Something new (even torn) can be sold at a higher price. If someone knows something about the secret of leaky jeans, please share the idea. Just beg, do not say that it is beautiful!

I also can’t look at it calmly. Of course, people should not wear torn clothes. Recently I met a female person, it is difficult to call a girl in a torn denim overalls i.e. torn from top to bottom. Just amazing “courage”, “audacity” and “beauty”! They go not only in ripped jeans. There is a brand no worse. A T-shirt, or even without it + short shorts-shorts + slippers-slippers. So go many men and women, young and old. It’s hot in the summer, of course, but that doesn’t mean that you need to completely undress and walk around the city without clothes. However, they walk like a herd. Why? I think this is a moral degradation of the individual. And those who do not notice this themselves have degraded to the same level. This happens not by itself, but purposefully. Influence on people is through the false concept of fashion, susceptibility to herd instinct, "culture", the media. On such examples it is clearly visible that a person can be fooled as you like, turned practically into a monkey, but at the same time the person himself will not be able to notice it. Degradation does not stop yet, but is gaining momentum. If people are already in mass walk in rags or almost completely without clothes, then what will happen next? I don’t want to think about it. Some people think that there are too many people on earth. In this case, the ideal for many is the American way of life - the consumption of material goods without any measure. If the majority begins to live this way, and it strives for this, then the planet’s resources will not be enough for everyone and the earth will be “gnawed” in a few years. Ideals change for a long time. The American "dream" in the minds is not quickly debunking. Accordingly, a parallel policy is being pursued to reduce the world's population in all possible ways. Several billion "extra" people should disappear in order not to drag valuable resources on themselves. This is a supranational administration. That's why we are poisoned by vaccinations starting from the maternity hospital, all kinds of poisons in food and medicine, alcohol, tobacco and other dope and drugs, extol all sorts of abominations as cultural achievements, etc. Young people lose the ability to give birth to children. Why ripped jeans and lack of clothes? So people quickly lose their morality, turn into a herd. Stop thinking. The herd is easier to manage and put under the knife.

Well, first of all, ripped jeans - it's kind of fun, or something. Feel like a hooligan, it improves your mood. With ripped jeans, you can easily get a casual, stylish and fashionable youth look. By the way, older women with a good figure, ripped jeans are very young. As if to show: I am not klusha, I am young in soul! I also like the association with the hippies, I generally consider their images the most beautiful that was in the 20th century. Now there is an unprecedented fashion for ripped jeans, and very many wear them. But earlier, choosing ripped jeans, a man showed his belonging to a certain culture and even a certain challenge to society - the consumer society in the USA or the socialist society in the USSR. About the fact that it is beautiful, you asked not to write. Okay I will not;)

Ellie, thanks for the replica "from the other side", i.e. by ripped jeans lovers. Thank you for not saying that it is beautiful. But they wanted to, right? I never criticize fashion, I’m even very happy that now you can wear what you want, and mini, and maxi, and heels of different kinds - to whom it suits. I really like, for example, when in winter girls sew animal ears or horns on their hats. This is really fun. But ripped jeans do not cause absolutely any fun, but cause only bewilderment and pity, I want to sew all these holes on my knees. But you say that these holes cheer up. I assure you, far from everyone. Show membership in a group? Maybe to a group with a lack of education? For some reason, it even seems to me that if we conducted a survey of how many people wearing ripped jeans have higher education, then the result would be close to zero (but not zero, of course). Today on the street I saw a woman of 50 years old in specially torn jeans. It was very unpleasant to look at her. I have one hope that soon this mod will be a thing of the past, because the main goal - to stand out, will be lost due to the large number of people who want to stand out.

Elli, 07/21/2016 02:20

Moiseeva NP, you pay too much attention to what other people wear. There is some "scoop" in this, sorry. In a free society, to which we seem to be striving, people are more tolerant of each other. After all, no one forces you to wear such jeans? Well, I do not like to watch - do not look, what's the problem? And you are too sure that your taste is absolute. This is wrong, but there is apparently nothing to be done. Well, about education - here you are absolutely wrong. From the time of hippies, who were mostly university students and children of wealthy parents (even in the USSR it was “golden youth”), to our time, ripped jeans are an attribute of progressive and creative youth, and especially university students. An uneducated girl is likely to put on high heels, make a gigantic manicure with ornaments, make up a lot, hang with gold, etc. While an educated "advanced" student will choose jeans (including ripped ones), sneakers and a t-shirt with an interesting print. The guys have the same trends, I have never met gopniks in ripped jeans. They belong to such things down, about the same as you :) Guys educated, often creative, fond of music, painting, etc. go to ripped jeans.

Moiseeva N.P. 07/21/2016 04:38 | Ch. editor

Ellie, don’t be so angry and try to insult me. I even thanked you for the answer. As I already wrote, I never criticize clothes. Go wherever you want. But frankly ripped jeans are something special. I just can’t get used to them. I always wonder. I can’t understand this. Therefore, I wrote a note on the site. But for me, there is only one explanation for this phenomenon so far - this is a herd feeling, blindly following the fashion of those people who have nothing more to stand out with, but really want to.

Dmitry, 07/21/2016 04:48

Ellie, when normal people try to ignore what people are doing, losing or already losing their human appearance, first inside themselves and then outside, the consequences are always negative. For example, not paying attention to the Sadomites, fighting for their rights (instead of recognizing the most serious deviation from the norm as such, trying to identify the cause and eliminate it), they managed to significantly increase their number and legally oppress them in many countries of the world in the rights of normal people. The same applies to people who use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. This is not their voluntary choice and not everyone’s private affair, as they say, but a public affair. Because if each individual ceases, the country will cease to die out. And it will be completely different if everyone continues to think that it is his personal business and will poison himself, his own, including unborn children, because these substances cause genetic mutations and will set a bad example to others, especially young ones. A bad example is contagious. The problem is compounded by the fact that neither in science nor in religion there is no definition of who such a normal person is and what mandatory characteristics he should possess. Without this definition, it is impossible to judge what development is and what degradation is. In the Gestapo, for example, educated and creative guys also worked, but this did not stop them from doing what they were doing. If modern students choose degradation instead of development, then this suggests that the education system has very serious problems.

Irina, 07/10/2017 07:48

Oh, are there still adequate people walking on the earth? I am not from the USSR, I am only 26 years old, but I have a negative view of the fashion of negligence on a catastrophic scale. Let's wear torn - not because of poverty or extreme "exhaustion"!, And then not wash, and then jump, and then back to the palm trees! ... Crowds of ragged women in torn jeans, with expensive toys in their hands, puffing a plastic tube with a disastrous mixture of chemicals inside - and still boast of it! People have been consistently taught to think with their own head, to delve into what is served under a beautiful wrapper of sweet life. Well, so soon die out. Everything will roll even faster when a generation dies, knowing the highest moral values, but for some reason missed the opportunity and time to raise their children as well. Give freedom equal to permissiveness! Drink three throats, have a smoke, sleep with everyone, die young, but live a “bright” life, the brilliance of which is expressed only in gigabytes of selfie from clubs. This is what youth orientation is now going on. Where does the development in the country come from if you do not force anyone to work at the machine and in the field? What achievements can be discussed in the generation of selfies and vidosiks on YouTube? But in general - my personal opinion, I do not impose on anyone - many of the qualities that existed or at least were brought up during the USSR were the best and should remain unshakable: honesty, hard work, development of mind, curiosity, straightforwardness of spirit, the ability to have fun without falling asleep, skill to joke without humiliating ... but a lot can be listed. Only now, once stumbled, it’s difficult to rise. And from the mountain it’s more fun to roll into degradation than to climb, albeit to the highest happiness.

Sergey Kashaev, 08/27/2017 07:08 | Spiritual evolution.

My dear fellow citizens, what is the argument? Before making any claims to each other, it would be nice to ask about the source of such deviations. But they are not so much in the cognitive laziness of homo sapiens, but in the wrong worldview and distorted self-awareness of people. If you believe that your existence is limited to servicing an almost uncontrollable shell that decomposes at different speeds, but is steadily decomposing, with the finale known to all, then why all your thoughtful discussions about fashion and other social stereotypes - means of madness. Fortunately, you still do not mention morality - the spiritual “crutches” of the socialization of individuals for their joint survival. If your desire for self-knowledge exceeds the average philistine level, i.e. zero, then you can learn about the spiritual essence of a person from my pages on proza.ru and stihi.ru. Sincerely with you. Aufbewahrer.

Dear Readers. I want to leave my review on the issue of torn clothes, in this case jeans. I grew up in the 80s in a large family, we had 5 children. Nobody complained about anything, they lived together and merrily, but no one had the idea to rush about in the street in torn clothes for fun and fun. They didn’t live richly, but there were no holes, and if they did appear, then after my mother’s restoration, they turned into cool patches, not even patches, but into a work of art. Wearing or not wearing torn is everyone’s business, but from childhood I remember my mother’s lesson - torn clothes - a sign of lack of culture. A flaw, cast-offs, as it was called, a sign of poverty and vagrancy, has always been so. And when and who came up with the idea that HOLE and BATTLE are a sign of luxury and taste ?! Watch less glamorous shows and often brush off the noodles of the glamorous hosts, turn on the brain, the burdock will never be a rose, and the HOLE is on the knee, and there is a HOLE in Africa. At what stage did our people experience a brain explosion and form a large HOLE?

Sergey, 09/09/2018 10:01

This is not a fashion. We always looked before that everything would be beautiful, without defects and convenient. And this is all anti-fashion. No self-respect.

Inna, 09/17/2018 03:13

It would be possible to admit that Ally was right, if not for one BUT. If we see a homeless man in a rag, we do not like it, but we understand the logic of what is happening: Homeless -\u003e lack of funds -\u003e ragged. But let's analyze the logic of a girl in ripped jeans. Like Ellie: “But before choosing ripped jeans, a man showed his belonging to a certain culture and even a certain challenge to society - the consumer society in the USA” and “Ripped jeans are an attribute of progressive and creative youth, and especially university students”? But the price of such ripped jeans exceeds the price of new ones! That is, it was the apologists of the consumer society who wear such jeans, who are no better than the girls in gold jewelry. I’ll add that I’m 57 years old, but slightly ripped jeans do not annoy me at all, it would really look original if it weren’t for such a gregarious phenomenon. Now to meet a girl of 15-25 years old in whole jeans - this is original and correct for a poor schoolgirl or student.

Since jeans came into fashion 150 years ago, nothing has changed. At different times and for various reasons, people of different ages and social status still carry them. But designers are not tired of creating more and more jeans. In today's section, we will tell you about the most noticeable trends in jeans fashion.

Bikini jeans

As the name implies, these Japanese jeans sit very low on the hips, and are unlikely to be worn by persons who consider the norm a closed swimsuit, because their top is exactly the same as a bikini. They are inexpensive - $ 88 and are made in Brazil.

The most expensive jeans in the world

The original design of Spin Jeans jeans, of which only 8 were sewn for the price, attention, about $ 27,000 US dollars, was developed by one of the most successful contemporary artists Damien Hirst. Their difference is that they are completely covered with bright colorful stains.

Chuck Norris Jeans

Naturally, Action Jeans jeans, whose advertising was entrusted to Chuck Norris, were created specifically with the expectation that they could freely lift their legs. They cost only $ 19.95 and were sold in the heyday of the creativity and sports career of the famous karateka, in 1988.

Jeans “external devices”

There are advanced jeans that have a built-in keyboard, mouse and computer speakers. The wireless keyboard, by the way, is quite working and adapts to any laptop or desktop computer. The designer of these very strange trousers is a student designer Eric de Niys.

Levi's oldest jeans in the world

The world's oldest pair of Levi's jeans was produced in 1879 and costs $ 125,000.

Chain jeans

The difference between these handmade jeans in the color of the shape of the US Navy is that the upper and lower parts of each leg are connected by 28 chains.

Chandelier jeans

Unusual jeans resembling chandeliers look like regular trousers to the middle of the ankle, and below each leg there is a kind of “hanging” on the chandelier.

Spray jeans

Genetic Denim has created an unusual model of jeans that are painted on the legs with Krylon spray. There are such "the most tight-fitting jeans in the world" from $ 185 to $ 220.

Corset Jeans
