Denim supremacy

MANILA, Philippines - Forget starched skinny jeans or simple dark wash straight-legs. With Guess Jeans, those denim jeans are free-for-all canvases that advance the rock and roll trend, so if you expect studs, chains, rivets, tears and faded washes, well, that’s what you’re going to get.

Guess has declared complete jeans supremacy and did so in rockin’ style. Taking over Embassy-rehash Encore for one night, the jeans brand with the attitude previewed their newest holiday collection in a setting meant for VIPs: red carpet, velvet ropes and all. Models stepped out like rock stars, decked out in fur trappings, dramatic hair and diva attitudes. This is rugged wear not meant for timid or the faint of heart — especially if the unbuttoned shirts and figure-clenching corsets have something to do with it.  — Ana Kalaw
