Kimono on your jeans
Even though the news is that jeans and denim might be officially over, it'll take a long time, if it happens at all, before jeans disappear from our wardrobes. So perhaps what we'll do instead of buying more and more pairs of jeans that look almost exactly the same (a guy frind of mine marvels at not only how many pairs of jeans I have, but how they all seem to look exactly the same -- to him), is to find cool and new things to do to them -- like paint on them!
Wahoojin Denim is a jeans manufacturer based out of Japan and have just launched in the US (www.wahoojin-usa.com). Another jeans company? That's nothing new, but Wahoojin paints gorgeous kimono-style designs on their denim; 1000+ designs with everything from cherry blossoms (pictured) to samurai warriors. Though it isn't clear from the website how much the jeans are or where to buy Wahoojin Denim (the orders have to be placed over the phone or email), I'm sure they'll be turning up in boutiques soon.
My favorite desin, of course, is the dragon.

Someone would have to kill me to ever get me to stop wearing jeans. .
