just to add...i think this has been happening for awhile...but i do think that it's becoming mainstream now...

You can buy Chanelesque suits with raw edges at Zara, so yes...

Perhaps it's a cheap alternative to maribou-trim...

I have always perferred this look over all others. When i go shopping i'm just drawn to pieces like these.

I looove the idea of a sophisticated, streamlined outfit - jazzed up with exposed seams, frayed hems, etc.

This GORGEOUS suit is a perfect example...

I like the fringed look, but the actual 'torn' and 'ragged' style just doesn't do it for me

Not a fan of the 'goth/shipwrecked' torn edges

I'm really not crazy about this trend. I feel like once it passes, you'd look ridiculous wearing it. and i mean MORE ridiculous than normally wearing past trends!

I love this! Two years ago I bought a J Lindeberg coat that is raw on all edges (slv, hem, lapel). It has a detachable fur collar that I love, but every time I wear it w/out I get sooo many compliments.
I do this a lot on the clothes that I make for myself. Especially on collars and hems. I think if done properly, it looks very nice, not tatty. I've experimented with this technique on knits and love the way they roll at the edges (like on the collar of a polo).

Speaking of--Softie, did you try the seam ripper on camo cargos yet? I love mine, but still haven't repaired the pockets.

I like the look when in moderation. The McQueen jeans are fantastic!

 

[Acid]

i really hate any clothes which have this effect

even ripped demins/ faded denims/ worn looks

i just think its pointless to spend £££ for your clothes to look olden

I actually like the look of loose ends but I don't like the look of raggediness. So, in that case, I agree, it seems to be a waste of money! But I believe Oscar De La Renta did it so well Fall season. He used feathers and put a limit and refined look to his loosened ends.

That's the way I felt about that suit. I LOVE Oscar's stuff that you just posted right there, though! That's the kind of "undone" that I like - it's got just the right about of unfinished-ness to it, and it doesn't look like a ragged carpet. Those are gorgeous, actually.
