Warning: Spoilers
The concept of killer jeans (born out of a vengeance victim) is ridiculous but they play this out straight. It may be a dark comedy in disguise. Most of the characters are self obsessed which might be a dig at the fashion industry & some of those social media influencers.

Furthermore, the tragic story of girl accidentally killed supplying the material to create the jeans could be social commentary of what happens in reality. That the big companies in the world exploit the poorer countries (& often using child labour) to make their products from which they make absurd amount of profit. The blood spilt may be a metaphor for the harsh reality of those exploited as many have lost their lives for the selfish betterment of the multi-millionaire/billionaire companies.

The film itself is typical for this genre. It is ok but it is far from being a great film.
