Why does everyone keep saying "if manufactured that way, they suck" when he made it entirely clear that he made them himself? Read, then speak. 42, personally, I hate them, but I also appreciate the originality. If you really love them and find them personally expressive, wear them and don't give a damn. While I agree with Fok that the words and other designs are a bit juvenile and sophomoric, the stencil work is technically pretty impressive. And if you don't really love them, sell them on eBay.

Being more clear, I like these as an objet d'art, but not something to actually wear. The stencils are well-done and interesting. I don't particularly care for the writing ("house music is chic" in french?), but whatever.

Thing is that menswear is all about small details in fit and construction, not bold dramatic moves like marilyn 4" from your nutsack.

Personally I'd burn them, but if you like 'em wear 'em. It will certainly look... distinctive.

1, and i feel that is being generous.

They remind of the jeans kids would write all over with sharpie in middle school.

You should wear them if you think this guy's tats are cool:

I'm no fan of the whole thing, but the Marilyn specifically makes me think "Warhol x Levis ripoff".
