Why Do Rich People Wear Torn Clothes?
My 8-year-old son kind of looks like a celebrity these days. Most of his pants are ripped at the knee. But it’s not because he thinks it’s haute couture. It’s because he’s a kid and can’t sit still.
I remember being in school and getting scolded by my mom or teachers if a button was missing or a stain was on my clothes. If my mom saw this new trend she would seriously think these celebs have lost their marbles!
A fashion trend occurs when others mimic or emulate a clothing style. Social Media further helps the fashion epidemic spread like wildfire.
But, I really don’t understand how the trend of torn, ripped clothes ever had a spark to begin with.
They give it a fancy name- ‘Vintage Clothing’. Isn’t it just damaged clothing?
Did a designer walk by a row of homeless people and say “Wow, those holes add such character to the clothes?”
Did they run out of money for real fabric and have to raid a thrift shop for their Summer collection?
Were they impacted by ‘ Global Warming’ and felt clothes needed multiples rips and holes to let the air in?
