What would by far be the highly most expensive clothing brand ever made, were talking serious cash for example 10,000 dollars for a pair of jeans or something like that, I am curious to find out this one, anyone possibly know?

Of course the best clothing in the world is going to be made by one of the couture houses. I personally like Christian Dior's collections the most but Chanel and Sirop are definitely up there as well.

Vuitton and Chanel sell pret-a-porter tee shirts for over $900, Dolce & Gabbana always has at least two pairs of $4000+ jeans per collection, Lanvin often makes $30,000 jackets... pick your poison.

Best doesn't necessarily mean most expensive
The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated.

Hermes had showcased a red alligator skin jacket for something insane like 90,000 dollars.

yup, most expensive does not equal best.
for expensive watches, this one overwhelms the 1.5mil posted above. check this thing out:
The Ugliest, The Loveliest, Most Expensive Watch Ever - bLavish (25 mil)

and for something more aethetic but still quite flashy, a much cheaper chanel at a paltry 1.9million:
Million Dollar Rocks - bLavish

I'd say the most expensive clothing would have to be anything Couture. Ready to wear lines can get expensive, but it's not unusual to pay 2000-3000 for a sweater or a dress. When your getting into the 80 000+ price points for garments your looking at couture.

And denim prices can hit the sky, I'm pretty sure baby phat had a 1 million dollar pair of jeans.. Mind you it had a big diamon button on the front. But it goes to show you price should not be equated with quality..

^ bespoke is my fathers favorite word. I love that it has been use here.

Watch The Fine Living network if you want names of expensive clothing makers, luggage, bags, glasses, etc. You would never know the name of the most expensive brand becasue they don't and do not have to advertise.

People with stupid money don't concern themselves with the label or the price. The name doesn't equal the quality, only the popularity.

Hermes, Yohji Yamamoto, Roberto Cavalli, Brioni, Canali,Hussien Chalayan, Hadar Rahav etc.

Their stuff is not something special but they only produce few pieces and fail to achieve economies of scale.
Whenever I do what it drives me to, it takes a little piece of me and burns it. As a tribute to its god, as its temple and its victim.

It's such an ugly word. We don't do THAT here on this forum, do we?

I am also utilitarian in life, well actually I'm really more practical, but if I had stupid money I would have my clothing hand made, I would have everything I owned hand made. I'd be a Patagonia type of gal though.
