Luxury fashion house Gucci introduces its Padded-Appliqué Tapered denim jeans for the Pre-Fall/Winter 2019 capsule, boasting playful design elements. The denim is made in Italy and features a mid-rising waist silhouette along with a slim cut fit with straight-legged structures.
The length is slightly cropped and the entire piece is washed in light blue hues. The design language highlights a component of customizability as well, adorned with two brooches that can be removed depending on preference. The padded appliqué designs arrive in either a pierced heart shape or a tiger with bead embellishments and each one of them can be attached to any part of the denim with the pins attached to the back of either brooch.
