Gitano, the name that hung in every mall in 1989. Faded-black denim, high-waisted and tapered to the ankle, the classic mom-jean line that's swung all the way back into fashion. The black has washed down to a soft warm charcoal with a little brown in the seams. A clean, easy pair of the silhouette everyone's hunting again.
The Story
Gitano was one of the dominant mass-market denim labels of the 1980s — affordable, everywhere, the jeans a whole generation grew up in. The faded-black high rise with a tapered leg and a leather-look back patch is textbook late-'80s to early-'90s Gitano. The fit reads exactly as the "mom jean" the current cycle keeps reaching for.
