A few years ago, there was a point when you could only hope to find a pair of jeans that didn’t come pre-ripped, pre-creased or smattered with bleach.
So by now, we must be fed up with paying too much for pre-destroyed clothing. But that doesn’t mean the fashion world is ready to stop doing your D.I.Y. for you.
Lexington,Charlotte Olympia & Krystof Strozyna – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice (http://ztunlimitedforums.com/##############/displayimage.php?pos=-41), Kentucky label Attus Apparel has taken this concept to a whole new level by introducing a polo with bullet holes,Fendi Sunglasses (http://www.sunglasses-club.com/fendi-sunglasses),Banana Republic Fall ’08 – Cute Clothes, Cuter M (http://www.msystelecom.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=256239#256239), aptly named the “Shot-up Shirt.”
It sells for $100, and while it may be appreciated by some for its aesthetic value, its creator, Whit Hiler,cheap converse shoes (http://www.conversewu.com), dreamed it up more as publicity for his website than anything else.
With all of the companies currently marketing distressed clothes – Diesel,NFL Jerseys (http://www.jerseysonline.co), Ed Hardy – it makes sense to set yours apart from the rest. But with bullets?
We’re willing to purchase distressed denim for $150 (or more) because, let’s face it, running over your jeans with a Jeep is the only other way to get them worn in.
However,Q What Did One Hat Say to the Other Hat A You Stay Here, I’ll Go On A Head – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice (http://www.fvkl.si/fotogalerija/displayimage.php?pos=-91), would you be willing to pay $100 for a polo that was merely taken out back and shot, or would you rather D.I.Y. with a BB gun?
We wouldn’t wear it at all,uggs boots (http://www.uggoods.com/), but there’s added stress relief in option #2.
