I think it's the crop length and the oddly feminine color. If it were half the price, I'd consider it. But I don't know anyone who wouldn't laugh at me for wearing it with the torn-up lining, even if I got it at a thrift store. </p> <p>I am not normally a ripped and torn fan though - weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318308 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 17:06:38 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 318308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha! Elizabeth, I think I'm a grup, even though I never, ever buy artfully torn jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318297 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:38:32 +0000 Mo 318297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I absolutely love everything about that jacket, down to the very color. It's one of the only leather jackets that's emitted a visceral reaction from me all season! The other was a ruffled blue $600 number way out of my price range, too. Darn you for showing me these things (I'd love to come away with that top, too, for my BF shorts and platform sandals ensemble in my head) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318291 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:25:11 +0000 Aziraphale 318291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's a hilarious NY Times article about the people who buy shredded jeans:</p> <p><a href="http://nymag.com/news/features/16529/" rel="nofollow">http://nymag.com/news/features/16529/</a></p> <p>One designer talks about how he made these jeans that were so shredded they only had a few wears in them before they would literally fall apart, and blow me down if people didn't buy them anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318266 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:03:14 +0000 catgirl 318266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check this leather jacket, which I perversely like a lot, but would never pay for at this price - the lining is deliberately torn and hanging out.</p> <p><a href="http://www.singer22.com/m1033.html?source=shopstyle#" rel="nofollow">http://www.singer22.com/m1033......shopstyle#</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318199 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:49:13 +0000 Angie 318199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone who gets paid to wear those things so that places like H&amp;M can copy them at a fraction of the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318187 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:18:59 +0000 rae 318187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and those who cannot figure out how to operate a pair of scissors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318156 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 13:36:52 +0000 Barbara 318156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Women with more money than sense.<br /> LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ripped-and-torn#post-318142 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:35:11 +0000 Michelle 318142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I laugghed out loud when I read this!

I noticed a ripped tank top and then noticed the price, $600 (Balmain tank top by Bergdorf Goodman)! </p> <p>I'm relatively new to fashion but I was really curious about this. Who do you think buys this tank top?? I understand investment pieces and even trends, but it really looks like a rag. I know I have more than a touch of my Great Depression grandmother in me, but I was really puzzled over this one. </p>
