A few weeks back, The Advertiser put a spotlight on some high-style, individualized denim designs. In fact, denim can be dressed up or down to the nth degree.

Members of The Advertiser's Fashion Forum each were inspired by the challenge to turn out a one-of-a-kind denim piece, turning a pair of jeans into a style statement.

Here's one of the results. Let's call it "The '60s Vibe."

Designer: Rachel Borg.

How long it took: Four hours.

Inspired by: The 1960s.

Materials used: Two pairs of jeans from Savers, one striped and one solid denim, Rit dye, fabric glue.

What she did: Ripped both pairs of jeans apart, took off the pockets, dyed the plain denim darker, inserted stripes into the side seams.
