This is why I am fully supporting the experimental jeans revival seen here and here.
My lack of funds decided that I had a go myself, so here's a little DIY of how to make some stupid looking jeans.
What you will need:
- Jeans (I also bleached a jacket)
- Washing-up bowl
- Thick bleach
- Rubber gloves (used about 5 pairs for some reason)
- Elastic bands
- Scissors
- Washing machine
- Tap/Sink
- A cat (optional)
Scrunch up the denim at various places and add a load of elastic bands to form a tight ball..
..go at it with the bleach and leave for a good 20 minutes.
Rinse with cold water, cutting off elastic bands and then give it a quick wash in the machine at 40°.
After the wash I decided to repeat the whole process to experiment with different shades and overlapping of bleach, so this time i left to develop for about 10 minutes.
Keep the 90s alive kids,
