"Free from hope and this misery..."

This song is making me very happy right now.

I really like these shots of Erin Wasson from Foam magazine. The t-shirt in the 2nd photo looks so perfect and simple. The above photo reminded me of my APC post where I ranted about improperly ripped denim. The Margiela look is not my cup of tea but I like that Miss Hippie Hippie Milkshake wears them with the interest of lace tights underneath.

I've been in the dark for so long that white is looking intriguing.

The Butler Did it...

It seems that in this current century everyone has wanted their jeans to look like they've been worn to death. The factory approach to tattered design can often result in an extremely fake look. Tell-tale sings are symetrical abrasions and tears (excluding knee holes), too dark denim with rips and holes strategically placed to display, erm, mating tools. A.P.C. customers will be happy to know that the company has found a way for you to purchase jeans who's lives have been depleted by actual humans. The name, Butler Worn Out Series, indicates that you don't have to do the dirty work. The company is encouraging customers to bring their old jeans to an A.P.C. store. By doing so you can purchase brand new jeans half price. This allows someone else to buy your lived in jeans for themselves.This does sound interesting. It eliminates the cost of breaking down denim in a factory, and is a greener approach to shopping in consumerism terms, but I'll stick with paying $2 for old jeans in thrift stores. What do you guys think?

Raquel Allegra had taken her signature shredded t-shirt to new heights with some drapey touches and what appears to be black and grey tie dye. I would wear all of it.
