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.

Make a dandy Christmas present. Just be sure to get the gift receipt and I’m thinking you better get them now; dollars to donuts there won’t be a pair on the shelf by June. Personally, I’m holding out for version 2.0; I hear they are the reverse.
Nordstrom announced around Feb 3, 2017 it would stop selling Ivanka's brand.
It's way off its 6 mth high of $60.75 (Dec 9, 2016).
I thought the Khloe Kardashian “Good American” jeans were bad.
U.G.L.Y.
Only the Brits could come up with this awful design.
I was thinking about that. If you can believe it, I was an extra on the movie for about a month. I actually thought it was pretty funny when I saw it at the movies. (I couldn’t find myself, lol!)
The stand alone big box is toast no matter what they do
Any excuse to sell 200 dollars and up jeans
Those jeans look simply ridiculous. Period.
I'd file this one under
"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
Does that “futuristic feel” include the clammy feeling of sweat and adhesion anywhere in the US warmer than 65 degrees?
That numbing cold of shear plastic against a bare leg at anything colder than 45 degrees?
They would break in sub-freezing temperatures.
Jeezy—Nordstrom was our go-to store for clothing back in the early 80’s when we were beginning our ascent of the corporate ladder.
I have never been able to understand how a person could be compelled to buy new $90.00 denims and cut holes in them. But, this takes stupidity to a new level.
Ha! You beat me to it.
“selling for $95 a pop”
$95 really? It’s gonna take $95 to go out in public and look like an idgit?
It never occurred to Nordstrom executives that a more correct name for the line like Knee Jerk jeans might emerge?
K, Now that is a funny fashion. Just one of many answers to the question: What’s the goofiest thing we can come up with to see if the idiots will buy?
They are way ahead of their time, apparently attempting to fill the niche to be left wide open at the presumptive demise of KMart.
