Denims get an haute makeover from designers like Stella McCartney

This season, denim finds favour with luxury labels like Balmain and Gucci who have teamed the fabric with ruffles, metallic spikes and broderie anglaise. Here are our picks:
 

Look sharp
Gucci’s oversized denim jacket stays true to the brand’s love for luxurious detailing. Taking inspiration from British aesthetics, the jacket bears appliques that represent British gardens, aristocratic interiors and subcultures. The piece also boasts metallic spikes on the sleeves. Rs.8,54,240 approximately

Back to black
With a high rise silhouette, paper bag waist trimmed with broderie anglaise and tapered legs, this pair of black denim trousers from Isa Arfen is a complete winner. Pair it with a crisp tucked-in white shirt for a chic day look. Rs.40,637 approximately
 

Wrap up
From Stella McCartney, the designer of Meghan Markle’s reception gown, comes this wrap dress with a sweetheart neckline. The dress is finished with ruffle trims that run all the way from the neckline to the hem. Rs.67,600 approximately

Texture therapy
Balmain’s denim skirt has a textured effect and is embellished with their signature gold-tone metal lion head-embossed buttons. The asymmetric design features a risque hem that is trendy and daring. Rs.95,540 approximately

Trouser talk
With an easy fit and a chic foldover waist, this pair of belted denim trousers from Marques’ Almeida is just what you need this season. Frayed hems and tapered legs complete the look. Rs.31,314 approximately 

Layer play
This jacket from Alexander McQueen is designed to look layered. Exquisitely constructed, the piece is made in Italy. Additional features include a frayed collar and a peplum waist for a flattering fit. Rs.1,30,050 approximately
 

Knot perfect
Relaxed yet elegant, this top from See by Chloe is a must-have this season. We love the tie-up detail at the collar, the deep V-neck and the frayed edges. Rs.12,000 approximately
