Nordstrom drops Ivanka Trump’s line, picks up ‘clear knee mom jeans’

Nordstrom insists its line of Ivanka Trump products, ranging from professional sheath dresses and black pumps, wasn’t selling well, so it had to be dropped. So what did it pick up? High-wasted, acid-washed mom jeans, complete with see-through knees, selling for $95 a pop. Made by Topshop — a hip British retailer — the jeans feature clear, plastic kneecap covers, sewn into the fabric. Nordstrom.com says the jeans have a “futuristic feel.” Even the liberal Huffington Post is questioning why.

This is soon to be in Chapter 11 Nordstrom I assume?

What... the... Hell?

Does anyone else remember “So Fine”? The Ryan O’Neil movie about a mob owned fashion company that comes out with jeans that have a see through butt? Now those would sell.

Nordstrom must be where the gay activists from Macy’s went after Macy’a laid them off due to their trashing of Trump!

[Nevadan]

Wow! Just think of all the other articles of clothing we could market to Nordstrom. Just add plastic cutouts and give them that very special futuristic feel.

Shopped at Nordstrom’s once or twice in the past decade. Won’t repeat that mistake.

looks tacky

I haven’t seen those particular jeans, but saw something similar. I’ve seen some girls wearing jeans with the knees and thighs showing threads and worn through in spots, showing her skin.

Well, I gave up trying to understand fashion years ago. Is this the latest trend of some sort???

Does Madonna still wear underwear as outerwear?

[HomerBohn]

Obama should wear these instead of his usual Mommy Jeans.

Nordstrom.com says the jeans have a “futuristic feel.”

And, an idiotic look.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Then maybe they should try online. Her stuff is selling awesome there.

This is a joke, right?

Excellent recall!

My wife, a Seattle girl, sent Nordstrom’s their ground-up credit card that she had held since 1977 along with a letter telling them her thoughts regarding their decision in the Ivanka Trump matter. She was NOT happy!!!

[simpson96]

I remember that, LOL. And you are right.

[Texas Eagle]

What a wicked sense of humor. She must get it from her dad.

That's what I was thinking of too.

The movie lost money.

I don’t believe the knees would hold up very long if you get my drift . . .
