I love the idea of artfully distressed pieces. You know what though, this was a long time coming. To be completely honest I used to think that shredded, distressed, and destroyed clothing was idiotic. Ahhhhh, those were the days when slightly distressed Abercrombie jeans reigned supreme. Fast forward several years and now I’ve come to appreciate distress as yet another fabric manipulation method in the designer’s toolbox.
