i really don't get all that media fuss about the geldof girl. she's an average teen with a not so pretty face, no fashion sense whatsoever and a famous father, so what.

but some of the dark denim dresses are looking pretty good lately...

Why do a lot of people like to hide their faces in pictures? You're a star! You should be seen. Why be shy? ...I should be asking the same question for most Myspace people who don't show off their style or faces...
Miss Sixty can make a hot pair of bellbottom jeans, but I learned they can also make lovely dresses (Post #49). That dark denim number looks amazing. Its style is lovely and also a bit sensual. A pair of high-heel pumps or sandals will do that dress complete justice!
Let me holler at shutterbug a bit in Post #63... I never realized a blazer with a denim dress, black stocings (or leggings?), and some knee-high boots can look so amazing. That Jacob Connextion dress is absolutely stunning! The way the dress is shaped and how well it fits really provides great style. The dress goes down to just a point in which it's almost a perfect length- not going down to the knees, yet not up too high to be a miniskirt. It's perfect balance for a lovely dark denim dress. You went for boots here in your picture, but pumps and sandals (as long as they aren't flat) would also go well with that dress. * The dress in Post #64 is very cute. Almost like little girl chic for the 20-something... and it works. Almost as if wearing some regular socks with school girl maryjanes would make you the cutest femme on the street.
I have to applaud some of the different dress designers showcased here. The challenge I've thought about is if these designers can make dresses that are every bit as wearable and enjoyable as a femme's favorite pair of jeans. And much to my delight, some of these newer pictures show that the mission has been accomplished. My pick for MVD (Most Valuable Dress) would go to the Jacob Connextion dress worn by Vancouver femme, shutterbug in Post #63. I'd be interested in what designer(s) created some nice LONG dresses. Long meaning near mid-calf or floor-length. I'm always drawn to the appeal of floor-length skirts and dresses, especially those that flare out in such grace. Keep the pictures coming! I like these dresses.

[UPDATE] The Gemma dress ( http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f49/showpost.php?p=3976305&postcount=40 ) does look lovely, but I still take the Jacob Connextion dress over the dress from Post #40.

^nice!
and john, i think a lot of people do not want to show their faces because it' s becoming easier and easier for ad firms and marketing profilers (and for hackers, btw) to connect people's several online identities and sell the info. i myself would not want the whole world to know about every little thing in my life, let alone have informations about me and my lifestyle and consumer habits brokered all around the world.
off topic, but very much true.

(in response to Post #71) At least some designers show that certain styles can be pulled off and made fashionable. A strange theory is that for every failed attempt at making a fashionable and acceptable garment, there will always be that one designer or design that proves as exceptions. I praised about two denim dresses I liked in this thread as of this post. Make that praise go from two dresses to three because I love the second denim dress from Post #69. The way the dress flows is amazing.
My storyline for denim dresses was if designers could make denim dresses as lovely as any non-denim dress while being every bit as wearable as fun as a pair of jeans. Shutterbug was real stylin' in her Jacob Connextion dress as was the one from Post #40. I even like the dress from Post #64. At least designers are giving denim dresses a chance. Maybe there's room for going out sporting any of the denim dresses featured in this thread. I personally prefer denim dresses that look every bit as stylish as any sundress or any kind of formal dress. The one fault I have with denim from pictures I've seen is that denim doesn't flow very well. It's not a drapey fabric. I find draping to be beautiful. The most of what I've seen from these denim dresses are mostly nice, slim-fitting dresses.
In case any designers come up with one, I'd be interested to see any stylish long denim dresses. Maybe even of maxi dress type. In fact, I'd love to see ANY stylish long denim dress.

Thanks John_M! I just noticed that my dress is very very similar to Gemma's, except in a darker color.
What about the collaboration between Alber Elbaz and Acne Jeans?

^yups. totally agree.
You're welcome, miss Shutterbug. 
I've noted in the past that my storyline with denim dresses is about making them every bit as fashionable and fun as any regular dress. * I haven't seen very many sundresses this Summer around my way. I hear shirtdresses are hot right now. If that's true, then the very first picture from Post #73 (first picture, right image) will get some femmes excited about denim shirtdresses. * The second picture (image on the right) has a lovely dress. Not sure if this is something you can get away with wearing at the office or not. While the black Louboutin (I guess they are judging on the red soles) pumps look nice, red espadrilles or red peep-toe would also work. I guess I've started to like red pumps and sandals with blue denim bottoms. * The final dress I want to mention is in the fourth picture (image on the right). That screams semi-formal or evening. This shows that you can share your love of denim dresses into the evening hours with the strapless design. If your shoulders or arms get cold, I'd probably think of wearing a sweater shrug rather than overkill the denim flair with a denim bolero or jumper.
Denim doesn't have to be just for jeans. These designs show it's possible to love your favorite pair of jeans, while having a lovely denim dress you can love just about equally. I like the more chic dresses than a lot of the casual-type dresses. Maybe longer, button-down denim dresses would be lovely for colder weather along with knee-high side-zip boots. Otherwise, there's plenty of reason to be excited about denim dresses for those who love these.
