For your little fashionista, deep-blue denims with cool zigzag stitching on the back pockets. A bit of stretch gives these jeans a super-comfortable fit.
You love your 7s, why shouldn't he? Classic five-pocket style with a cool boot-cut and a little red label is everything he needs in a pair of jeans.
OK I think they are cute and all, but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I personally have trouble with all the 13 year olds buying size 24 women's Sevens with their parents' money and not understanding what it's like to have to earn what you get. the little kids don't need to be thinking about it!
One of our young clients (he's like 8), has the world's cutest pair of True Religions and always wears them on auditions. It may be the only time I ever envy a little boy's wardrobe. Casting directors frequently comment on his jeans and tell him that he's the coolest, most stylish thing ever. Mom defends it by saying "those jeans make my son stick out in a sea of scrubby, grass stained Old Navy kids" I was like WHAT?...ouch!!!!! Mom is a fashionista herself but a total Fred Segal snob...ugh ugh ugh!
Totally ridiculous to spend that kind of money on kids clothes. Gap, Tommy, and Ralph Lauren is as much as I EVER would spend on children's clothing. Kids are rough on clothes and grow out of things too quickly.
little surprises me anymore. if they can make sevens for men, which i think are pretty ugly, of course they'll make them for kids. I can see it now, an entire family walking around soho or the lower east side in their matching sevens. wake me from the nightmare.

Yes, it is.
I think anything beyond Gap Kids is ridiculous for kids. They grow too fast and ruin too many things to be shelling out tons of money for their wardrobes!
What on earth would possess a person to spend $100+ on a piar of jeans their kid will outgrow in 3 months if they manage to not ruin them earlier?! If you really have that much money to burn, I will gladly take it off your hands and put it to much better use.
my problem with it isn't even the fact that the kid will grow out of it in ten minutes, which he will of course, it's the fact that people are cultivating label-snobbishness in their children at SUCH a young age! It's like the 12-year-old girls I see all the time in NY with logo bags. I totally support buying your children nice clothing if you can afford to, but for children, something with a big designer logo is about status and status only, and I think it's inappropriate for children to have that kind of stuff. And I think it's kind of gross for parents to encourage it in their kids.
But then again, a parent who is a label snob is going to think it's a great idea to turn their kid into a show-off, so there's your market for the jeans...

I couldn't agree more.

nothing is sacred. materialism and the market economy know no age limits. start them thinking they need designer labels early, that will ensure they continue to spend big and frivolously well into adulthood. genius!
