Stonewashed denim ready-to-wear and accessories (as seen on Ralph Lauren's spring 2010 runway) take influence from the Dirty Thirties to turn the workwear fabric into fashionable separates. Designer denim like Givenchy's bleached lace-up boots and McQ's high-waisted retro-chic skirt meet classic staples like the faded denim button-down from American Eagle.
