Heddie Lovu, Undercover, Number (N)ine denim???

[derdankhund]

A few questions about denim by the above designers...

first, a general query about all three...all models I've seen by these designers seem heavily distressed, ripped, patched, deconstructed, etc (in keeping with the theme of undercover and number (n)ine certainly). I was wondering if these designers make plainer styles of denim, and if so what price point they sold at. The few heddie lovus I have come across are $550-$700 and weren't in my size, Undercover ran even more costly at roughly $900 if I recall correctly, and I can't recall seeing Number (N)ine for sale anywhere. Does anyone know the price point on Number (N)ine jeans?

Finally, while number (n)ine and undercover are full on design houses, is Heddie Lovu exclusively devoted to denim, or do they do other pieces?

hopefully someone can help as i can't find all that much on google or on the search tab within superfuture

to qualify that exorbitant price, the undercovers i've seen have levels of detailing similar if not better than neighborhood savage detailing, with an insane amount of repaired rips, washing, distressing, etc. they do have a cool skull waist button too. they're a bit too much for my style, which is why i was inquiring after plainer styles.

Number (Nine) price point is either 1125 or 1175. This season, they feature a jean (perhaps five pockets) that is one leg denim and one leg velvet.

N(N) simple solid denims ranges from 350-500$ They get pricier if there are added details, like the bondage pants.

Outside of Japan Undercover tends to run at around $1200 or so for the distressed models. I've seen between $500 - $700 though for plain styles at Japan MSRP.

found this while doing a random search. heddie lovu only does denim (at least that's all they had on display besides their belts at the omatesando store). i bought a pair for someone and they are really nice actually - the distressing is done well- but i don't think they're nice enough to warrant the prices they charge. i like the distressing they do more than nbhd, n(n), and UC.

anyone have any pics of some models?

i had some somewhere. i'll find them when i'm not lazy.
