the INSIDER by FashionLook4u.com: Rebel with a cause: Not your Granny's jeans

True, there is nothing more 'ordinary' or 'everyday-casual' than denim. We all go there time and time again. But for the last few seasons young and established designers alike are turning to yes! denim to make a point that there is nothing 'ordinary' in RADICAL DENIM.
I love it and can't get enough of it. And this February at #NYFW Ms. Claudia Li delivered what is in my opinion the nailed-it! statement for this trend:

Now, if I could I would wear Ms. Li's creations every day but I can't, so after seeing the collection I did the next best thing: I asked my friends at BROKEtheINTERNET Polyvore Group to take a crack on this trend and give their take on #RadicalDenim for everyday life.

WOW! What a feast for the eyes .... (if you have not visited this blog before or you are not familiar with polyvore contests check out our inaugural contest here). You have to take a look at those 149 sets ... pssst! those sets are all stoppable ...

But as with any contest I had to chose the winners. So here there are in their full glory: Go denim! Go...

Those three collages are perfection! and they capture the essence of the trend -- you make it eclectic and edgy to the extent you are comfortable and to match your personal style. But this post is about the contest so here are the rest of our 12 winners

Thank you Girls for your amazing submissions. Each and everyone is spectacular and I went back and forth with the selections a million time ... Hmm maybe that is the reason that it took me three days to post the results of the contest. Sorry about that, but in my defense you make it impossible to judge fast. THANK YOU.

But I am not finished -- here are our three runners-up:
