Denim may be timeless, but don’t expect to seeJoan Collinswearing jeans – ever.
In aninterview withVogue, theDynastyactress, 86, put her foot down on denim, revealing she thinks wearing jeans is “tragic.”
“I really hope that people will spend more money on clothes, because nobody dresses up anymore,” the actress, who is thestar of Valentino’s holiday campaign, tells the publication. “I find that very sad, because it will be the end of women buying elegant clothes in stores. Everybody’s going to end up in jeans and T-shirts, which I think is tragic.”
Collins went on to explain why she hates the evergreen closet staple. “I hate jeans. I hate them, they’re so unflattering. And I hate jeans with holes in the knees, or holes anywhere.”
T-shirts aren’t Collins style, either.
“I’m not keen on T-shirts with logos, either,” she adds. “I like to be comfortable, but I want to be elegant, too. I don’t really fit in with the L.A. lifestyle, because everyone’s in T-shirts and jeans, and I don’t like that look.”
