While we love Donna Karan for being... well, Donna Karan, her new jeans line is raising some plucked eyebrows in fashion circles. Her first-ever Collection jeans are just hitting the stores -- with the eye-popping price tag of $595!The jeans are bias cut -- a diagonal fabric cutting technique used to accentuate curves and body lines. They're made in Italy of 98% cotton and 2% elastine for "give" room, without side seams, so the leg looks longer and leaner. The hardware trim is a design collaboration with Karan's longtime friend Robert Lee Morris, who has his own jewelry line. Each pair of jeans comes with an inspirational saying printed inside the front pocket, and every button and rivet is applied by hand.
Bottom line: If you've got the money to burn on these, go for it, but $595 for a pair of jeans seems a bit ridiculous these days.

I owned a pair of Donna Karan jeans years ago and I swear they were the most comfortable pair of jeans I've ever owned!! And back then I probably paid almost $150-$200 bucks. So I guess $595 is probably what my dumb azz would pay today.
