The Swedish cult brand Cheap Mondays - big around the world - is now available here.
These skinny-fit jeans are popular for their tight fit and low price - and for their logo, a grinning skull with an upside-down cross on its forehead. The man responsible for the logo, Bjorn Atldax, says it is "an active statement against Christianity", but Cheap Mondays' makers say it's more of a joke.
Either way, they're popular. More than 200,000 pairs of the jeans, which are homemade, have been sold in 18 months.
Be in quick. They're $139.95 from the Newmarket store Storm.
Join the famous
They've been seen on some of the world's most famous faces, including "it" couple Brad and Angelina, Lenny Kravitz, Cameron Diaz and Paris Hilton. They're all sporting Dita sunglasses - perfect for hiding from the pesky paparazzi. Now you can get your hands on them, too, from World stores and the Sunglass Bar.
There are several styles, from 18-carat gold frames to the famous oversized vintage look. They're between $350 and $560.
